Work makes us fat

As I write this blog my coworker is eating her third brownie of the day and is informing me that she got some in her hair. I'm eating a celery stick.
Life at our work is hard. Who are we? Where do we work? We haven't yet decided to disclose that information. All we'll say is that we sit at computers all day. So exercise is hard to come by, aside from the occasional yoga break. Warrior 2. pose. Half moon. pose. Maybe we should have nicknames based on all the fatty treats here. We'll figure that out later.
For the majority of us in our office, this is our first "grown up" job. We work 40 hours a week plus a few hours on Saturday. Yes, Saturdays. How horrible. I think it was our first Saturday when we started getting fat at work. One of our co-workers coerced us into work with dark German chocolate cupcakes with a rich fudge sour cream frosting. We thought, if this continues it's going to be the best job ever!
But it did continue.. and now we're not too sure if we should be happy about it. **disclaimer: We don't usually eat EVERYTHING at work, at least we try not to.
It's been nearly seven months since we (the 6 who are involved in this blog) started working here. Treats have included Christmas cookies, homemade chocolate-covered gummy bears, homemade caramel popcorn, cakes, cookies, buckeyes, cheese balls, etc.. etc.. etc... Oh, and pizza. Every Thursday.
This blog is not staged. No one is told to bring in food, it just happens. Baking is a hobby for one of the ladies downstairs, so we think she brings in the majority of it. Whoever the culprit, all we know is Work Make us Fat.
Waiting for tomorrow's temptations,
Weight-gaining worker.
