    Sounds like someone is having accountability issues.

    Unfortunately, OP, the world doesn't revolve around you. Not being mean, just stating a fact. If people want to put treats next to the water cooler at a community/public place, they can. Just because you are having issues, doesn't mean they should tiptoe around and alter their lives just for you.

    Get you a big piece with a smile. Make sure they witness that you are not a prude and better than them. Anyway get that big slice with the frosting on two sides and the top( ya know the one I'm talking about). Grab a fork and take ya a bite because you are human and you deserve it... then through the rest of the crap away. Be sure to say thank you!!

    gotta be a joke.. no one would seriously expect an entire office to change to accommodate one person... that would be ridiculous

    So everyone should not bring treats into the office because you can't control yourself?? Get a grip and grow up.

    You could get another job...

    I hear pastry chefs have very high-powered positions.

    There are worse people in the world than your generous coworkers. Gourmet pastry chefs for example...

    Bring in a water bottle from home and go to Starbucks for coffe so you won't have to go in the kitchen. Or you can just take responsibility for your actions and not eat the food.

    Nah, I worked with one, and you never, ever get even a teeny sliver of those delicacies you bring out to the patrons! Talk about torture :D

    would you smoke crack if it was "shoved" in your face, probably not. Just say no, it's pretty easy

    Looks like the OP needs some self control. You don't want to make everyone in the office dislike you.

    You really offended some people on MFP, so imagine how the people in your office would feel. It is not ok for you to throw it away. When it's Christmas and your mom makes wonderful treats for her family, you'll have to resist, so think of this as good practice. Best of luck and try to think of other people who are just trying to be nice to their co-workers.

    Just avoid it, I work in an office and people are always bringing in crap to eat.

    Its all about willpower.

    I have to LOL at this because I suppose I am one of those 'inconsiderate' vendors that bring in foodz and SABATOOOGGGEEES everyone in offices.

    We (and those terrible co-workers that bring in community snacks and goodies) should all be rounded up and shot.

    Shame on us.
