    Either get rid of the bowl (your co-workers probably don't need the candy either!) or, as someone above suggested, put nuts or something in it instead...maybe some hard candy? You may find you save money, too, because people may not go through what's in there as fast.

    Why are you the one who has to keep the candy bowl? Just tell everyone you are trying to lose weight and be healthy, and it's too much of a temptation for you.

    You enjoy the treats yes? Then save room for them! Figure up how many calories are in those pieces :]

    No reason to punish everyone else because you are on a diet i think
    Who says she enjoys them? Maybe just eating it out of boredom or because it's there.

    I don't see how this is "punishing" anyone. Unless her job is "candy dispenser".

    Like a human Pez dispenser? That would be disgusting and cool all at the same time.

    Fill the bowl with healthy snacks.
    Or Beanie Babies. Those are always a big hit.

    Because if everyone is coming in to enjoy a little snack then it just goes away because one person is on a diet? I think thats unfair

    There are always candy bowls around for the holidays. Self control and plan ahead. Let people enjoy the candy lol

    Get rid of it or buy candy you don't like...

    I do that... everyone in my office chows on M&M's like they're going out of style. I *love* M&M's but I actually hate the peanut ones. So I graciously offer to replenish the stash at work with the ones I don't like, so I'm not tempted! Everyone thinks I'm generous too! Win win!

    Love reading this........... Yes you can and yes you will .......... Tell your boss you find it hard with all that there on offer...

    I will have to agree with some people, get candy you dont like...

    Or try an alternative, like some raw foods.... Put some nuts out and seeds, make a mix.

    Sunflower seeds, goji berries, brazil nuts, lin seeds.

    That is a nice mix........... Also good for you, nice fats xxx

    What you could do is tell your boss you cant work as you are only thinking about eating more candy, if there was none you would do a better job? Worth a try.. Please let us know how you get on xxxxxxxxxxxx

    I was laughing at this too xD

    I think that if you don't want to allow yourself any that picking a candy you don't like is a very good option :]

    I have the same problem....... the only way I can control my temptation is to not have the bowl of candy there. Just knowing its' there makes me want to have one. Its very hard and you have to get rid of it. "out of site, out of mind!" good luck! i gained like 4 pounds from eating so much candy last week. :-(

    I'd much rather eat nuts from a bowl than out of a sack.

    Get rid of it or buy a candy that you don't like tha won't tempt you! Ask your co workers to take up a collection to pay for the candy. I assure you the candy will stop soon!!!

    pee on it

    If you're pregnant eating the candy after that will aid weight loss.

    Poison the candy. That way the co workers get there pay back ;) and you wont eat it because you know what is in it.

    OK, so I have a bowl of fun size candy at my desk for my co-workers but it is causing me to have no self control. I eat like 5 pieces a day! I bring healthy snacks but I still eat the candy!! Any suggestions out there to help me regain my control"?? Thanks!

    UMMMM..really easy solution here, just like everyone else said, ditch the bowl (problem solved).

    I brought it in last year...the pumpkin shaped dish is still in my office cabinet, where it has remained empty, and somehow they all survived without it.

    Don't self-sabotage..there are enough other people around to do that for you!
