Remember freshman year of college and the freshman-15? We have a joke around my office about gaining 15 pounds after starting work here. It’s a disastrous (yet delicious) combination of sitting at your desk the majority of the day and the enormous amounts of food we have catered on a regular basis.
I definitely wasn’t above it over 3 ½ years ago when I started and I gained immediately. I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, but brownies will be death of me. (I suppose there are worse ways to go). Then, 2 years ago, I got myself in check and lost the 20 pounds I’d gained. Annnnd now those pounds are back…and then some.
I’m not one to work out. I’ve always been better at managing what I eat more so than making time to work out. It’s definitely something I’d like to get a handle on now, though. I hear it only gets harder as you get older to shed pounds and get in shape.
Personally, for now, I just want my pants to fit better. Is that so much to ask!?
Whatever you’re desk-job situation may be, I found the following articles on how to avoid the desk-job weight gain. As young professionals, we should watch out for this now!
