Conservatives Scoff At Obama's Birth Control Shift
Conchita Sarnoff: Regulating Modeling Agencies to Help Prevent Child…
Yet another recent study shows that people, especially the female types, are more likely to gain weight on the job. A new online survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder found that a quarter of employees claimed they had gained more than 10 lbs. (12 percent say they packed on 20 lbs.) after starting a new job, but women (48 percent) were more likely than men (39 percent) to say they have put on weight.
They blamed the added poundage on increased snacking, eating out, lack of exercise and, yes, stress caused by the current economic situation. At this point, it seems like everything we do -- including starting college, dating, getting married and, oh, possessing XX chromosomes -- has been shown to cause our waistlines to expand.
Is there anything that doesn't make women gain weight somehow?

I will say that personally, I def. gained weight when I started a new job -- this one here at Lemondrop, actually. I blame it on 1) not having a routine yet, so I ate lunch out more and didn't get to the gym as often. 2) You feel like you have to have more drinks/lunches with new coworkers to get to know them, so that cuts into gym time and makes you eat more 3) ummm, can we say stress eating? And you don't want to be the jerk who turns down cookies and sweets (I mean, not that that would cross my mind, anyway)

I've actually lost weight at Lemondrop because Erin Scottberg keeps stealing my lunch.

Staying fit and eating healthy takes energy and focus. And when things change, it takes energy from you.

At work there is always food; I choose to eat; learning a) I don't have to eat the
birthday/anniversary cake, when it sits there for 2 days, just eat the crumbs a
dab of icing-I will crave the whole thing. Also, I only buy the small bags of chips from vending machine because the amount is controled. What else is there when the craving for these carbs hit , there are not the filling foods e.g. veggies
around, how to walk away, even when frozen custard has been brought in. I am fed up with myself for givng in. So far have kept 20+ pounds off and need to lose a great deal more. I want to succed for me and keep it off. This time
Weight Watchers is working, and am exercising 3X a week. What foods
taste like theses foods, what can I choose when yogart and the veggies are not handy?
