Office holiday parties

We just had a holiday party for our HR department on Wednesday which I purposely took the day off. My friend at work invited me to her office party this afternoon. It was for the library folks. I went there towards the end of the party. There were still so much food left. My friend told me she will have to go a strict diet like the Leptovox diet.  Like me, she puts on weight easily.  I am trying not to eat too much holiday treats that are sitting around in the area I’m at.  If I were to continue snacking on all the peanut brittle, chocolates, sugared cookiess and whatever else, my body shape will just look like a barrell.
