I've been meaning to cut down on snacks, and it's been harder since one coworker set up an informal mini-shop at the office where I can indulge in cookies just by walking to the next cubicle. But two weeks ago she made an inoffensive comment that was only slightly annoying, and I took that chance to use that tiny amount of discomfort as an excuse to not buy any more snacks from her. As a result, it's been two full weeks without buying one single candy, and I'm starting to not miss them.
