I share a desk at work with all the office "treats". I can't stop myself!

    I have a similar problem, I try to keep healthy snacks that still taste good at my desk and if I start to get the urge to grab one of the temptations, I get up to refill my water, go to the bathroom, anything to momentarily get away from them. (Also refilling water that often helps you drink more water, making you fuller & not hungry enough to eat the treats)

    Make a stupid sign next to them saying you're banned from the goodies so EVERYONE knows. I told the people at work I'm on a health kick and I think I've started imagining them judging my food choices haha

    I hate this idea in a professional environment. It implies he lacks self discipline and needs the help of others to supervise his eating habits.

    Instead I suggest you just consume whatever treats you want and fit them into your macro targets or just be responsible enough to limit your intake.

    and what the heckings are Dum Dums! Sounds American...

    Dum Dums are small lollipops. I always remember getting them when I'd go to the bank with my mum or the doctor's office. They're "just enough" for a little something sweet that won't break the calorie bank.

    As far as the treats go...blocking your line of sight or telling yourself that the factory/kitchen they were made in was absolutely filthy and you'd make yourself ill if you ate them. I've heard horror stories about one US chocolate manufacturer that put me off for months!
