Need help with office treats...

I just say "no thanks, I'm on a diet" and after a while my colleagues get used to me saying no and don't offer anymore. In fact one colleague brought me a nakd bar (as they'd seen me eating them before) especially for me when giving out chocolate bars.

Anything I bring from home is better tasting than what they bring.

I will say, this can backfire... Some people respect that you're on a diet, and some take it as an invitation to comment on your every food choice, inquire about how much you've lost, tell you when they think you've gotten skinny enough, or intentionally offer you cupcakes at every opportunity just to be a jerk. But you're lucky you're in an office with people who respect and support you like that

In my office, most everyone was growing weary of the every-other-day birthday celebrations. We all agreed to designate one birthday celebration every month. Last week, we had cupcakes for all the June birthday people. I can deal with one cupcake a month.

If it doesn't fit your goals, skip it. If that's the case and you're tempted, just pretend the person making it or the person digging around to pick out their selection walked right past the sink after using the bathroom (probably really don't need to pretend, pretty likely it happened).
