Sweet temptation...

General
So I’m at work, minding my own business, when one of my coworkers stops me in the hall and tells me to go get a cinnamon roll from a class that was going on across the hall. Okay I think, a snack won’t hurt me- I mean I did work out this morning and I freaking love cinnamon rolls-
Look at this massive thing! It was one of those Whataburger cinnamon rolls: 430 calories and 10 grams of fat.
Like holy hell, NO. If I ate that, the scale would be laughing at me tomorrow- and my friends I talk to daily know how evil this scale at my job is, it even likes to troll me! For example, Monday, it told me I weighed -7.3 pounds (…). Is that even humanly possible? I mean if it is please tell me how so I can get into some size -8 pants and tell everyone how small I am! LOL.
So I surprised myself when instead of eating it, I gave it to one of my other coworkers instead! Oddly enough, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I had no craving for it. I even wiped some icing off my fingers without licking or tasting it (okay, that was a little hard). Never thought the day would come that I’m so conscious in my food choices, I start turning down yummy treats and foods to avoid gaining any weight back because I’m too busy worrying about how many calories, fat, and sugar is in it…that and I’ve already broken so many scales at work due to not liking how much it said I weighed, I’m not sure my job would permit me to break another one anytime soon.
Meanwhile, the devil, I mean, my coworker that offered to share the cinnamon rolls with me said, “One won’t hurt you! Or just eat half of one; it’s almost the holidays anyway! Look at me: do I look like I watch my weight?” He says as he points to shaking belly.
...the irony is he’s a nurse that fusses at patients about how they need to lose weight and eat better so they can be healthy. Yet here he is with health conditions and is bringing in pans of cinnamon buns and cookies (...). And healthcare providers wonder why patients are so hardheaded? From a patient's perspective, it looks really bad if a physician is telling you to lose x amount of weight, yet here is the physician huffing and puffing to climb up a flight of stairs! *end rant* I love working in the medical field.
Oh, and my boss, who’s on a “low carb diet” just walked into the office with some burger king for lunch. He sees me looking at him, then the bag. And as I shake my head and start to fuss at him, he merely says, “Don’t judge me Whisper…” I just laughed and went back into my office. No, I’m not the health or fitness police; I just like teasing my coworkers, friends, or anyone that claims they want to lose weight, yet are stuffing junk food in their mouths and whining about why they’re not losing weight. Or how hard it is to make time for exercise, yet they have time to surf facebook and shop online for hours on end (…). Heck yeah I will laugh and tease the hell out of you if you come at me with such nonsense! I know if I can work out 4-5 times a week and eat fairly healthy, ANYONE can. But enough about that-
This journal is mostly just a filler since other than art, I’ve been kinda quiet lately. Also, I wanted to say hello to everyone before the end of the year and busy holiday season approaches-
To you new and old watchers: Hey there! Thank you so much for sticking around and enjoying the commissions in my gallery. Or if you just found me through some other means, welcome aboard. And even though I don’t go to each of your pages to comment or thank you for watches, I assure you, I go to EVERY one of your pages and read your profiles, check out your galleries, characters, etc, just to get an idea of who you are and what makes you tick…or why the heck you watched me; I know I’m not the most exciting person on here but I do try to keep my watchers and friends amused. Speaking of, next week I’ll start posting Christmas gifts for my friends! I’m –hoping- everyone’s gifts will be done in time; if not, well it’s the thought that counts. But I think some of you are going to like your gifts~
On a sidenote, to anyone who says you can’t get watchers from just clean, sfw art? There is hope. I’m nearing 600 watchers, which is pretty awesome. I know, it’s not nowhere near as many as some of you with 1k, 3k, 5k, even 10k+ watchers but…heck I’m happy! Especially that people like my stubborn as hell, kill bill like wolfcat-
"We know you have a choice in who you watch, and we thank you for not running away or screaming in fear of Whisper's rage...." Kidding. But seriously, it’s nice to know the artwork these hardworking artists create of my girls is appreciated by the community. I figure by the year 2020, I should have 1k watchers, haha.
Anyway, back to work I go! Have a good one~

It may take longer to gain followers when uploading only clean art of a specific theme, but at least you know they're more likeminded and probably into similar stuff. The trade-off is probably worth it.
Yeah, trust me, I'm not expecting fame, popularity, or anything of the sort from the type of art I commission or post to my gallery (hell if that was the case, I'd fill it with porn, smut, and cliche pinup poses! LOL) But the fact that roughly 500 and something furries are interested enough in the themes and type of art I commission is enough to keep me content. I'd be happier if my watchers were more interactive with me and occasionally commented on my journals or art so I can know why or what they like about my characters so much (other than my "regulars" that is) but meh, I'll take what victories I can
...personally I don't mind a bit of silence; the lack of drama on here is a pleasant change of pace
Even though that was a photo I found online, the cinnamon roll looked JUST like that; icing and all! Yeah, I wish I would have taken a picture of the pan of cinnamon rolls (it was six jumbo ones in a container); you would have laughed so hard-
But that is probably one of the reasons why America is one of the most overweight countries in the world: we try to supersize and make everything twice, triple the normal serving size, haha. I'm sure it was very tasty but I've busted my butt too hard to let junk food be my downfall
That's what she said! *is shot* lol
Sorry, it was too..."tempting". XD
*is shot again*
*jabs you in the shoulder* goob, lol. I never liked those "that's what he/she said" jokes
Anyhoo, I'll be sending you a note sometime about something, so keep your eyes peeled. ^^
I could never have that type of self determination and discipline when it comes to food, I don't see how you do it, I really REALLY like food. Ain't no way I'm gonna lie to myself and say I could pull off eating healthy.
I'm not surprised about your watcher amount! You have a great taste in artists!!
I thought for a boxer you'd have more discipline and dedication *gives you a look* I mean...I still like the occasional junk food too (blizzard, yum!) But healthy food can be tasty too!
