Short circuit temptation.

A healthy idea to think about:

Are the chocolate goodies in the office vending machine calling your name? When junk-food cravings light up, shut them down with your favorite healthy snacks, kept within easy reach. Stock your desk shelf with fruit, granola, or whole-wheat crackers.

This is so true, I have been in so many offices and I can't believe the "snacks" all around tempting your hunger pains.  They are such wasted calories waiting to be consumed, by very busy workers.   It's too easy for someone to pick up the doughnuts or muffins and not a veggie tray.  Great advice, be the one to start a new trend in your "danger zone" in the work place with bringing the healthy snacks!
