Too bad all those free, pretty-looking donuts in the rec room are made of 100% poison.

    How does it feel being the lone survivor in a sea of donut-eating idiots?

    It's amazing how crazy people get over donuts! I quit eating the donuts at work years ago because they did wacky things to my bodily functions (I don't eat anything from this bakery). People thought I was the crazy one. Now my work doesn't pay for donuts anymore and people were pi$$ed! Sad.

    I successfully avoided them for the entire time! Yay!

    And of course it's a nice gesture to share. It's just a pity I literally can't partake at my height, weight, activity level, and goal weight. Maybe next year's holiday season, after I have more muscular mass, I could take one every now and then.

    Some people in my company joke that its initials actually stand for a phrase along the lines of "gain 10 pounds" for this exact reason. The pastries are constant.

    Good for you since you were trying to resist. I don't have too much wiggle room with my calories and sometimes I have to turn treats down. I am in a small office and there are rarely sweet treats, sometimes salads. I am appreciative because it is always one woman who goes out of her way to bring treats, but I have to balance if I have enough calories or not.

    I was in a study lounge at one of my school's buildings and there was a box of unattended donuts. I ate all of them then left. No shame. :|

    Our VP doesn't want to have birthday parties anymore, so I started bringing in cupcakes. You have to celebrate the birthdays, dammit!

    I just now read that sabotage thread. Wow. Yeah, I'm a different poster.

    Um...I would never ever call this trend sabotage, because sabotage means there is intention to do others harm. I'm not an idiot, I know these are put out as a nice gesture, and emotionally, I do appreciate it.

    In case you couldn't tell, I was kidding about there being poison in them.

    I know you were joking, but in your mind do you demonize certain foods to avoid temptation? I guess whatever you did works for you. I just don't like to think of foods as "bad"
