Co-Workers Bringing In Junk!!!

I used to tell myself that the office candy bowl had nothing in it but licorice - which I HATE - and I wouldn't look at it. I would silently chant "licorice-licorice-licorice" as I walked by it.

Be strong, and it's call to you will fade.

A co-worker brought in a half dozen red velvet (homemade) iced cupcakes for me as a thank you today. I told her that, while I appreciated the sentiment, I'm a MFP nazi and I'll be eating my lovely strawberries, grapes and cheese for breakfast.

She was respectful and gave the cupcakes to someone else. I find that if you leave no wiggle room for people to tempt you, they generally back off. No means no. ;-)

Eh, it's just a fact of life when you work in an office. I occasionally bring stuff in because I also love to bake and don't want a kitchen full of cookies and cupcakes at home. I certainly do not taunt people with it or try to guilt anyone into eating the stuff I bring. If I didn't think it would be rude, I'd hand the stuff out to people I know actually want it and avoid the women who are trying to stick to diets, but I don't want them thinking I don't like them or something.

my boss brings in snacks i.e cookies and sweets i usually eat a few...but lately i am resisting..ate 1 mini baby ruth but other people bring in sweets and i have to learn to say no. My boss also orders pizza sometimes so if she does for lunch i have to eat a tiny dinner! it's annoying because i'm the only one who is into eating right and being thin...so annoying!

Impressive KICK! Good job!

My (old) boss actually kept the chocolate basket at my desk because she knows I don't eat it and it made her eat less because I would see every time she got chocolate/candy. (not that I cared what she ate)

Over time you realize that those treats aren't worth it and you don't need them.

Start imagine that basket covered in hot chocolate dog sh-t. Watch who takes from the basket start thinking about who didnt wash his/her hand when they reached in that basket. Think about how long its been sitting there I bet c0ckroaches run over it at night. Every time you walk by do the sign of the cross. When you get pissed imagine taking that basket and chucking at everyone's stupid face.

If you can resist the basket you can resist anything...its' just food keep saying that to yourself.

Two things that have cured me from the eating at work, besides my montlhy quality kitchen inspections, are once a woman brough in a cake and it was covered in dog hair and the last pot luck I ate I ended up with the hershey's squirts for 3 days!
