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.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!

<--- You get one of these. That's how.0

eat ice cream! It's the only way!0

There is a very simple solution. Staple your mouth shut before you go and you won't be tempted to eat.0

Amen! Save me a muffin!0 -
lol I am sure they didnt do this on purpose! lol You knew it was coming.....either eat what you want and work it off or bring your own treats to share....who knows maybe someone there might be looking for something healthy too.

I see only two options:
1. Sit in the corner and drink water.
2. Eat three of everything.0 -
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!0 -
It's part of life, I would either bring in my own healthy goods or have a small piece and call it a day0

I agree with this, bring your own healthy, but still yummy treats!lol I am sure they didnt do this on purpose! lol You knew it was coming.....either eat what you want and work it off or bring your own treats to share....who knows maybe someone there might be looking for something healthy too.0 -

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:0 -
I think it's hilarious that some people are taking you seriously LOL :laugh:
This gave me a great laugh for today! NOW GO EAT SOME HAGAN DAS!!!! :drinker:0 -

This is perfect. You won't have time to eat because you'll be standing at the toilet the whole time.0 -

Strap on the feed bag . . .0 -
Start doing wheatgrass juice shots out of one of your coworker's belly buttons. People will be more interested in that than the cake.0

Damn, Joe pulling out the wizardry again . . . you magic magic man.0 -

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 eating0 -

Yep ^^^ Agree! You'll eat your icecream later anyway!0 -
I know you are not totally serious, especially with the wheat grass comment but…..
I opened the fridge today at work and I am in for it as well. Not only do they always have donuts, cookies, muffins, and pot lucks every freakin day! They have 5 cakes and pies for a couple peoples birthdays! Not 1, Not 5 small cakes and pies. 5 FREKIN HUGE CAKES AND PIES FROM KEY LIME PIE (my fav) to chocolate moose, to cheesecake. THEY ARE HUGE! 1 of them is 2 feet across of chocolate cake with a chocolate filling! !@#!@#$ What the !@#$@#$!! SERIOSLY!
…I understand…. Wheat grass aside. Maybe I should get some key lime pie ice cream for later if I make it…. That seems to be one of your favs too.0 -
OMG. I could write a book on this topic. I work in an area where there are two chatty (overweight, but ALWAYS "dieting") women in a cubicle, then two older men that eat anything under the sun and don't think twice. These people are also the social butterflies of the entire organization, so they invite others over for pot lucks every single Thursday. There are usually 10-15 dishes of nasty salads, cakes, pies, cookies, brauts, nachos, etc. I don't like this stuff, but it cooks all day long, and people come and go and are eating it all day long. THEN...every Wednesday is "Chinese Day" where they all order out from the Chinese joint and eat together. THEN...they celebrate SOMETHING at least once a week, where they bring in cake, ice cream, pie, or whatever and "celebrate." Finally, one of the older guys has a wife that loves to bake, so he brings in things constantly. All this is fine and dandy, BUT they will intentionally set plates full of brownies, cookies, whatever...on my desk while I'm out doing things, so I come back to the temptation at my desk. They did this for months while I was dieting down for my first physique show. When I couldn't take it anymore, and hit an all time low for carb depletion and sleep deprivation and exhaustion, I snapped. I came into my office to see a plate full of brownies and a note that said, "EAT ME FATTY!" I shoved two whole brownies in my mouth, chewed it up half way, while picking up the plate of remaining brownies...I went out to the ***** that did it and threw the plate of brownies at her. I then went around the corner to the next cubicle and spit the brownies out on the other *****'s desk and said....I can't possibly swallow these. I'm too fat. I turned around and walked out. I went to my car, went home early, and balwed my eyes out. Dirty *kitten* never did it again. :-)0

My veggies and fruit usually get eaten first. This is a great idea!0 -

I'm really sorry you have such generous, genial, and friendly co-workers. Are they forcing their treats down your throat?
Geez. Just have some self control and don't eat the treats.0 -

wow.......at your reaction, not their generosity or friendliness.0 -
Eat a fiber one bar between every unclean food item
It'll flush out all the dirty food before your body can absorb any of the bad calories0
