If I could get your opinion on this subject, please.

Several people at my office are dieting and excersisng, they are always eating healthy meals and going to the gym. I have purchased donuts, and various other treats to tempt them with.. but its just not working. I was wondering, what would you suggest I do to sabotage their diet?

Thanks!

    Steal their healthy food and throw it in the trash.

    You can't just leave the food out, you need to put it right on their desks. Make sure they get a good whiff of it.

    Put on a sad-puppy-eye-you'll-hurt-my-feelings-if-you-don't-eat-this face and guilt them into it.

    Just keep doing what your doing - make sure you let them know it's in the breakroom so they have to get up to get the sweet treats themselves - They will eventually cave and blame you and your plan will be complete.

    Another good tip is to distract them from their healthy food so they don't get to eat during the day. Then they will have to eat after 6PM, and of course all their food will turn directly into fat.

    "Accidentally" reset their microwave time from 3 minutes to 30 minutes. You know they all let their food sit in there with the microwave chirping for at least 5 minutes after it is done. They'll go in there and their food will be ruined...even better, they will wonder why they so stupidly hit that extra zero.

    Make sure you go door to door letting them know how happy you are and how it'd mean soooo much to you if they would imbibe their daily caloric allowance with you, in the name of celebration. After that, make sure you tell them that if they really cared about you, as their co-worker, they'd have seconds. Because, well, you're simply trying to be nice to them!

    Accuse them of being anorexic when they try to refuse the donuts.

    Bring in some brownies and tell them they are special homemade diet brownies made with diet coke.

    Take a big chocolate cake, cut it into HUGE pieces and then dish it up and place on everyone's desk. Then sit at your desk and as you are eating it, moan and groan and carry on as if it were an orgasmic experience. Works every time. If that still doesn't work, offer some soft serve ice cream that you just happen to grab on your way to work to top it off.

    What do you mean "as if?" There's no need to fake a foodgasm.

    If you bake something (cake, cupcakes or ect)...it will be hard for them to say no...because they wont want to hurt your feelings.....:laugh: .

    Are you at all familiar with the movie Clockwork Orange? First, rent it and then get some restraints.

    Work your way up, become the head honcho, then tell them if they don't eat your baked goods they're all fired. May take a while, but it's fool proof if the economy keeps going the way it is :bigsmile:

    Tell them you are entering a bake off and you need all of them to try your cupcakes/cake so you can get opinions. Remind them that they feel like your second family so they should help you out.

    Keep telling them that only one cookie/piece won't hurt anyone.

    Make an announcement and tell them it's in their honor for doing a good job.. if its "their cake", they'll be pressured into eating it.
