SNACKING AT WORK! IT'S KILLING ME!

By personality, I'm a rule follower. Whether I make rules or someone else does, I follow them. So I made a rule for myself that I don't eat food at work unless I have brought it and it is portioned out. It has saved me from eating candy because it's brought to me, donuts because my boss bought them, etc.0

I work where there is free food all day as well. It is not my food, it is not your food. Bring your own snacks.0

@Camaramandy647, I, too, had/(have?) the SAME problem. I felt like corporate America is out to get me! Treats everyday, leftover meeting food, etc. Then one day not long ago I just decided that I was NOT going to allow them to decide what I put in my mouth. I don't care if it's free. I put up a mental wall. I plan my meals, bring my lunch. If my department has a celebration, I will modestly participate. If someone else is celebrating or baking for no reason, I just say say no thanks, not my celebration. Not in my plan today.
For over a month I have been easily ignoring bounty. However, though I haven't caved yet, recently my resolve has started fraying.... Good luck. And thanks for sharing.0 -
My husband has a no food at work that I didn't bring from home policy. He also keeps a running counter (in Excel) for how many days he has followed his rule.
At this time of year, this might make a great Challenge. I bet a lot of MFP folks would like support and motivation to avoid all of the Fall and Winter treats at work.1
