    I would have bitten the chicken finger if she waved in front of my face- then sit it out.. acctually I wouldn.t have; I just would have thought about it and told her it's rude to wave your food at people and asked her she thinks that prro chicken finger feels being used for evil purposes.

    I think it would have been funny if she would have started to fake drool, and then lunged her head in, and bit the lady on the hand. Then she could have said, "OMG. I am so sorry. It's the hunger. I don't know what came over me."

    You might want to get hold of some photos of how machine recovered meat is actually processed. That should be enough to persuade most people that you woulkdnt want to partake.

    The taunting is a little uncalled for but you can't change how other people act, you can only change how you respond. Just keep replying "no" and "no, thanks" and leave it at that. Getting all worked up is just a waste of time and energy.

    Ugh, someone always brings in doughnuts or pizza every two weeks. I don't care about the pizza because it's always Kirkland's which is like eating cardboard, but the doughnuts are always from Dunkin and it's really tempting (unless the only ones left are the custard filled or coconut covered ones). I go in there and lift the lid a little and someone's always around saying "one won't kill you!"

    I might choke and die, you don't know! One MIGHT kill me, but anyway I never take one. Kinda just like to peek at them. xD

    WTF DO I DO

    Sorry if this offends anyone else...

    This has happened to me many times. I said "no I don't want to be a fat worthless piece of chit like you. You eat what you want you disgusting blob and leave me the F alone."

    Never happened again. lol

    I say this as nicely as possible:

    get over it.

    By asking you to join them in their lunch orders, they're being nice, not sabotaging you.

    The pushiness sounds like it's coming from a different place. How you react matters. If you act upset, they'll continue doing it, likely. If you say, "nah, I don't want to eat that - this salad is great" or "I don't wish I could eat that - I COULD eat it. but I don't want to" perhaps they'll leave you alone. If not, and if you do not enjoy eating with them, stop eating with them. Eat at your desk, take your lunch outside, eat at a different time if possible.

    Eventually, as you lose weight, they'll see that your choices are paying off.

    Edited to add: Now I really want poutine.

    Agree. Get over it. You can't control their behavior, only yours.

    Different kind of cheese and gravy, but hell, I'd like some chili-cheese fries too.

    We sometimes make a ridiculous meal we call tot-chos. Sweet potato tots topped with chorizo, queso, sour cream, and jalapeno. Glad I'm not on a diet so I can eat this kind of stuff ;)

    I feel like these posts are very cruel given OP's topics, huh?

    OMG! Why have I never heard of this? It sounds so yum! And my husband brought home some fresh chorizo. I must make this!

    Act like an adult and just ignore them! Who cares what they do or think? If it's bugging you that much don't eat with them . . . really not a hard problem to fix.

    I think you will run into this no matter where you work. It is called will power and discipline..
    My coworkers just today asked me if I wanted Firehouse Subs for lunch, when I replied no, they responded with how good their salads are.
    So I use these as opportunities to teach others about what I am personally trying to accomplish with the foods I eat. While they all chowed on their sub sandwiches and suffered from droopy eyed carb overload during our working lunch today, I felt wonderful since I had a delicious salad from Muscle Maker Grill with a side of steamed broccoli.

    Plus every Friday they pass around sweets, so I placed a no soliciting sign in my pod just for laughs.

    "if I wanted to look like you- I'd eat like you"

    This exactly. I couldn't have said it better, so I won't try.

    Also, I come from a different area of the Country where we don't have poutine. What is it?

    Agree :)

    And poutine is fries covered with cheese curds and gravy. YUMMMMMM.....
    Though this doesn't make me want any, I want booze.
