Today there are two mini parties for a guy whose wife is having a baby and a girl who is going on maternity leave. There are unclean baked goods everywhere! Clearly they are trying to derail my clean eating lifestyle because they are jelly. Why couldn't they bring in organic apple slices or some wheat grass shots instead of OJ and muffins and doughnuts?

How do you deal with sabotage such as this?

    bwahahahahah. I eat the treats and call it a day. They don't count if celebratory in nature. The body will forgive you.

    There is a very simple solution. Staple your mouth shut before you go and you won't be tempted to eat.

    I see only two options:

    1. Sit in the corner and drink water.
    2. Eat three of everything.

    You frankly shouldn't beat yourself up, this is a journey, not a diet Acg67.
    Enjoy, as long as you train well and eat clean, derailing one day per month shouldn't effect your weight loss.

    Here is a rule I give to starters :
    - Clean and fresh fruits before
    - 5 gallons of water before
    - No more than 1 muffin if it contains sugar

    Most of them have been able to eat that muffin and .. still lose 1 pound per month
    You got this!

    It's part of life, I would either bring in my own healthy goods or have a small piece and call it a day

    I agree with this, bring your own healthy, but still yummy treats!

    HA! Nice.

    But seriously, I used to have this problem at work also. For every "holiday" (birthdays, work place anniversaries, whenever-the-hell-they-felt-like-it days) there would be either cookies, cake, donuts, etc. Someone finally got the hint after me turning them down time after time, and now someone is usually nice enough to pick up a chocolate protein bar or something of that nature to accompany that cake. Also, there are tons of times when they order in pizza- they now order a side of chicken salad for me. Until they got the hint, I kept a box of Special K chocolately-pretzel cereal bars in my desk. That way, when they were chowing down on chocolate cake, I could also have chocolate, but mine only cost me 90 calories. :happy:

    This is perfect. You won't have time to eat because you'll be standing at the toilet the whole time.

    Start doing wheatgrass juice shots out of one of your coworker's belly buttons. People will be more interested in that than the cake.

    I do hope that the part about 2 parties is true
    God know I could use some party muffins right now,
    but nobody in my office is eager to get preggo / have babies

    on top of that we don't have vending machines, and the only shop relay near is only vegs and fruit
    my office clearly sabotages my dirty eating
