My desk is actually IN the employee lounge (we are obviously very tight on space!), so this is continually an issue for me. Honestly, I know that some people will say to eat the sweets in moderation and while that may be fine for some, it just doesn't work for me. I never partake, even on Coldstone birthday cake day once a month! I would rather have a lot of healthy food that fills me up than a small piece of cake that won't.
That being said, once a week or so I do indulge, but it will be on something that I really, really want, not some random doughnut.0 -
I don't go to work, but at school there are often people eating sweets or biscuits etc. If they offer some to me, I kindly no thanks and they'll sometimes ask why.
It's quite hard to get other the temptations.. but it's worth it in the end!0 -
You can either work it into your day or avoid it. You are stronger than a craving.0

I'm terrible at snacking if there's food lying around. I started chewing sugarfree gum a lot. I'm not a fan of gum chewers in general, but it's better than munching on chips and sweets.0
