Someone made me a cake for my birthday...I obviously don't eat cake. I just threw it away when no one was watching. Don't even open them...just chuck em' and forget em.0

But that's such a terrible waste of delicious Girl Scout cookies!!

I think the more important question is, "why do you allow your coworkers to control your weight loss journey?"Why do my coworkers sabotage my weight loss journey?
Go dip it in the toilet and then sit it on his desk. You won't be tempted to eat it anymore. :laugh:MY boss is exactly like that too. He'll open a candy bar or pack of cookies and leave one..just one on my desk. He knows I'll eat it eventually.
He drives me nuts with it. Sometimes it turns into a game and I'll keep putting it back on his desk, he'll put it back on mine...etc. until one of us gives in and eats it.0 -
Because they don't know how else to tell you that they prefer their men curvy and soft.0

I am in the same situation at work. Several months ago,I changed departments. They eat donuts , muffins, or breakfast burritos every Friday, plus occasional other snacks in between. i give a lot of it to other coworkers, and just occasionally eat it myself. Like has been said, it is up to us what we choose to put in our mouths. Sometimes I resist, other times I don't.0

Send them to me damn it! J, WTF, send em to me. I'll eat em all, chicken *kitten*. I work to hard in the gym not to have them cookies.
FEED ME NOW! LOL0 -

Uhhh, one would assume that given the choice between tasty, tasty cookies and death by starvation, most would choose option 1.
"Help us out mate, I've not eaten in four days"
"All I have is this box of thin mints, but you can have them. I shouldn't be eating them anyway."
"WHAT? What are you trying to do to me, make me FAT and give me diabetes. *kitten*."0 -

do you know how much nutritional value they have? you might as well throw them out. im sorry but i dont think homless people should be treated as second class citizens, and if you were starving and didnt have anything to eat you for sure wouldn't accept some junk food from a snob because they dont have enough balls to give you a real meal, my friend. :flowerforyou:0 -

I can't tell either. I've seen enough zombie movies to realize if I was hungry enough, dog food is probably good too. I'd like the choice of cookies first though.0 -
Because the whole world is conspiring to make you fat.0

Sabatoge are everywhere - whether intentional or not- it's up to ourselves what we put into our mouths!
Agreed. I throw food in the garbage when this happens. I hate to waste it but I'd hate "waisting it" more. ;-)0 -

Er, I really wasn't intending to start up something serious. Apparently "homeless" has become too big of a buzz word... how, exactly, is giving a homeless person a box of cookies treating them like a "second class citizen"? If I gave the box to a stranger on the street it wouldn't feel any different, and as previously mentioned, pretty sure a starving person would rather take junk food rather than no food. My heart goes out to those who have to survive on the streets, but I'm not rich enough to buy them all decent meals. I would, however, gladly give away food that had been given to me that I didn't want, rather than throw it away to take up more space in a landfill. I don't think that makes me a horrible person.0 -

My television keeps sabatoging my diet. It keeps showing me pics of fat kids laughing and having fun. And I know they've eaten something delicious because they're so darn fat and happy.0

Time to get off the soap box and join the rest of us in reality.
As someone that has worked with homeless people, they are happy for anything they can get that is not gross or trash. At least the poster wanted to give them to someone in need. Giving someone charity does not make them 2nd class citizens.0 -
My workmates are the opposite - we have buffets at work all the time and incentives for targets which means prize draws sometimes every hour and I am always winning a box of chocolates - its the standing joke - everyone else on the team wins bottles of wine and I always get the chocolates.
but it's always someones birthday and there is always cake and goodies - people get guilty when they eat that in front of me and they will kind of hide sweeties behind their back and say "I was only having one" like I am the food police or something, it's hilarious, but it's only because everyone knows that there is a 99% chance that I will pass on the cakes and they are taking their own approach to weight loss which isn't as gung-ho as me lol. If I win the chocolates then I will want to do a swap for something else or will pass the chocolates around the whole team - they are soon gone lol.
bottom line your co-workers can only "sabotage your weightloss journey" if you let them - in which case it's your choice to eat what you eat or say no if you don't want to, I just know I don't work my *kitten* off at the gym to eat a pile of sugary crap.0 -

i never said you were a horrible person and i don't think you are
:flowerforyou: , its just that i see homeless people eating out of the dumpsters at the dorms because students waste their food, they get their hands on everything they can unfinished food, including veggies and mandarines and other junk.
i just imagined the whole scenario in a bad way.... plus i think there would be plenty of other people that would love to accept the cookies...before the thought of homeless thats at least what i thought and why i commented about it, the first and original comment by the other person i thought was shallow.
i have nothing against you and your comments :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 0 -

use the cookies to burn calories instead with these simple steps and it will most likely prevent future sabotage at the same time!
1. pick up box off desk with a big smile and make sure to say thank you!!
2. throw box on ground as hard as you can. (I always try to see how many times I can make it bounce)
3. jump on box with both feet repeatedly, seeing how high you can get off the ground until the box and contents are mutilated into a thin layer of cookie dust and shredded cardboard.
4. look at the person that gave you the cookies and say "I was really short on time today and wasn't sure how I was going to fit a workout in, thank you for the opportunity to burn some extra calories to help me on my diet, I really appreciate it!!" :happy:0 -
You should have resold the box of cookies and made a profit! :laugh:0
