Someone please talk me out of eating this potatoe soup!

Okay buddies,** I need some major support right now.*** My co-worker left a bowl of home made potatoe soup for me on my desk this morning.** One of my favorite foods and one of my major weakness's is soup.** I love it , I want it all the time and I could easily loose my will power over it.....So, I guess I am looking for some hints on how to handle this situation.***** Do I just have a few bites?** Do I just lick the lid to get a taste? lol** Or do I just throw it away.....Ohhhhh, and did I tell you it smells so yummy and that I really want it?**
