Sweets in the office

When there are sweets in the office, I find that I really don't want that doughnut, coffeecake or pastry. And I'm not denying myself or depriving myself of something I "really like" or "really want". Because the truth is, the longer a stay away from sweets, etc, the less I want them. That stuff just doens't appeal to me anymore. And why would I eat something I don't want, just to appease those co-workers who say "oh, come on, just one bite" won't hurt.

Now, this doesn't apply to chocolate and cheesecake - I'm still a sucker for those.

  • I wish I was as great as you lol...not sure if I'm at that point yet. I don't usually eat sweets at work because I work with all guys with the exception of one other woman who is constantly pointing out how fat everyone is. I stay away from work sweets so I just don't have to hear anything lol.

    I work in a office that is full of sweets and it's so hard to resist sometimes!!! Work an be so stressful and we all like to eat around there. I am working to stay away from any unplanned extras and stick to what I bring with me. Good for you Calliope610 for not letting people push food on you!
