It's Fat Week
Posted on November 21, 2007
My colleague brought in a dozen donuts for our 8:30 am daily meeting. And as we all sat there pondering the choices, she proclaimed that it was "fat week." Just go for it.
How much food will you eat this holiday week? It seems to be the slipperly slope...first Halloween, then "fat week," and when we return from all the Thanksgiving goodies, the holiday season is in full force.
Is there anywhere you can cut back the calories and stop yourself from over-indulging?
I am an elementary school teacher and every week is "fat week" at our school. We do not have snack vending machines because we get our junkfood for free! All the leftovers from classroom events (student birthdays, class parties, etc.)march directly to the staff lounge. So as you eat the healthy lunch that you prepared at home... the doughnuts, brownies, and potato chips on the table just sit and wait for you to give in. The only way to avoid it is to eat in your own classroom.
