Inconsiderate coworkers wrecking my hard work

would you smoke crack if it was "shoved" in your face, probably not. Just say no, it's pretty easy
Maybe if I was in a drunken stupor.
Or the Mayor of Toronto.0 -
Muscle up and get on with it sweetheart.

But only once, and then I'm totally clean.
Ok, MAYBE twice, but that's it :laugh:0 -

And I'd be REALLY REALLY sorry when I got caught.0 -
If they want to have a treat counter, fine, but it should not be next to the only source of water. Nobody is stopping them from putting their cake on their desk.
Nobody is stopping you from bringing water bottles from home either. Sheesh.0 -

And just a wee bit angry that all these strangers are asking me about it.0 -
You should try to have their actions empower you. Take the higher ground knowing it will bother them that you're ignoring their actions whether they are intentional or not. I will bet you that eventually ask you why you don't indulge in their "treats" and this will set you abart from the sheep. Good Luck!0

I work in a bakery...... would I then be wrong to throw everything in the bin cause it's all so tempting? Or would I be better using my willpower & not eating it cause I'm not being force fed?
:noway:0 -
My coworkers do the same thing.
I've just learned to not even bother looking at any of it.
You have to take control of your actions.0 -
Would I be in the wrong if I just started throwing this stuff in the garbage? T
I hope you're joking. Just because you can't control yourself means the whole office can't have treats?! Ummm no. We also have a treat counter at work - it's called real life and sometimes we have to deal with it. The world doesn't revolve around you.
THIS! LOL I can't believe she even said/considered that!! :laugh:0 -
I don't want to be mean, but sucks to be you. Yes, you would be a total a-hole for throwing that stuff away. YOU are on a diet, not everyone. YOU are limiting yourself, not everyone. If YOU can't have any of that, then don't have it. Simple. Being healthy is about moderation AND self control.0

Personally I love it when people in work bring in treats!!0
-
Temptation is everywhere - I face it every morning when I pack my husband's lunch. Putting those mini donuts or brownies in the baggie drives me crazy! But I resist. Because getting where I've gotten feels a whole lot better than that!
Just knowing that temptation might be there means being ready to face it when you arrive, so prepare yourself before entering that room. Don't go in there hungry and don't look at the evil treat if you can avoid it!
And if you have the urge to throw the whole thing in the trash, do this instead...cut yourself a piece and throw it away.
Because you can beat this temptation. You don't need that stinkin' cake!0 -
Wait you're an adult?
GROW UP. Get over yourself. It's like saying the spoon made you fat - no, you control the spoon, you made yourself fat. Learn to be an adult and how to use self control - not everything is about you (unless, maybe it's your birthday).0 -

And a half assed apology will put it all in the past right? lmao0 -

Wow. You're almost as horrible a person as the OP.0 -
Cant tell if serious :frown:
Imagine what its like to work in an office full of truckers/dispatchers who dont give a **** about their weight and order pizza, bagels, donuts, bring in mcdonalds for the office... PRETTY MUCH DAILY! Alat the same time, this is a company who does a lot for their employees including having a full kitchen with a chef, ordering cookies and cakes for the whole office, etc etc on a daily basis. yeah, guess what? I had to GROW UP and NOT GIVE IN!
SMH, wow this is as insane as when adults claim they are being "bullied" UGGHHH I have such little faith in humanity these days!!!!0 -

Just to piggy back off of this idea, another way to do it:
1) Ignore the cake for several days in a row. Don't comment on it, just ignore it.
2) Openly walk around with a bag of baby carrots and maybe some celery. Crunch on it really loudly and moan while you eat it. Say things like "Get inside my mouth you juicy carrot" while you're chewing on it. Make sure your coworkers take full notice of the power of vegetables and the euphoric feeling you get when that vegetabley goodness passes your lips. Brag about how clean your diet is, and how you can feel the toxins leaving your system.
3) Next time you're in that hell-hole they call the cake room, don't do anything mean or rude to your coworkers but for example, as you walk by the cake, give it the finger and mouth the words "I ain't your b**ch you dirty piece of cake". This is going to empower you even more than those carrots, believe it or not.
Do this for a few weeks and I promise you, the next time they sit there eating their dirty, sugary, poisonous, toxic, (tasty chocolatey) cake they will be filled with hate. I mean, here you are enjoying seemingly INFINITE amounts of carrots and celery, impervious to the beckoning that is that dirty, dirty cake.

You are overreacting. It's unreasonable to expect everyone around to change their habits just because you are changing yours.0

Ooh! Here's one!
Leave some carrot sticks and celery in the kitchen. Email round telling everyone there are some tasty treats in the kitchen and to help themselves. When they come back into the office asking where the cake is, laugh in their faces and smash your fist into their offensive cakes before throwing them out of the window.
That should teach the fat, inconsiderate witches who's boss.0 -

I'm starting to really want those carrots...0 -
I wouldn't say they are doing anything wrong --- if they knew you were dieting and were constantly cutting pieces and putting them on your desk, then i would agree with you0
