You're kidding, right? Neighbors. Your dry cleaner. Your car
mechanic. The folks at your local post office. Teachers at the local
elementary school. See your friends more frequently. EVERYONE at work
is weight conscious? Bring them for the folks who aren't, unless you
would be seen as undermining weight reduction efforts.

I know a woman who puts excess treats in a common area of her apartment
building with a note to help onesself. If I did that, I'd put a note
with them identifying myself so a partaker would know the source (I'm
thinking safety here, not accolades to the provider) of the goodies.

I plan to take over the world with my brownies -- I bring them to my car
mechanic every time I'm in for a service call. They give me a discount.
