I'm at work alone (with my dog -- it's in a small town, we do stuff like that).

The refrigerator down the hall has chocolate cake with white icing, from the weekend. Tell me not to take a piece. Gross me out somehow! I am NOT hungry.

    I already stuck my finger in it after coming out of the bathroom. And I licked the plate edge. Enjoy.

    Its pretty easy for me. I think about all my nasty co- workers touching and breathing all over it.

    Think about how many other people have had their mitts all over it?

    Get your dog to lick it?

    Take it out of the fridge and accidentally drop it?

    I'm probably not helping much and would probably upset other people.

    LOL! nasty, I love it. I'm trying to imagine people coughing on it and wiping their noses, then taking a piece without using a fork...

    The person who cooked it put a little bit of dog poop in there, because their jerk ex works down the hall from you.

    It's true. I was there.

    LOL! I think I am reining in my cake breakdown, thanks to all the images of hidden dog poo, bathroom hands, and sneezes. Believe me, if I could throw it away, I would do it, but they would know it was me... Last week, I flushed the Easter chocolate somebody left on my desk down the toilet.

    There is a 99% chance that whoever made that cake licked their fingers while doing it.

    All of the above....but can you just throw it out? Or will others be expecting it to be there?

    Two strategies I use: Keep telling myself I can have it later, until I go home and am away from the temptation. Or I will tell myself, yes, I can have the cake, but I'm choosing not to. It's not off limits. I just choose not to. It's a little different attitude and feels like less of a battle. Or if it's just a little left, go ahead and toss it out. You definitely won't eat it once it's been in the trash.

    It's probably stale - especially if your coworkers are like mine and don't properly wrap/cover items

    ew. You dont know who has coughed, sneezed or touched that cake with their booger fingers. PASS

    you are choosing to not have it because it is probably stale if it is from over the weekend, even if it was covered and you don't want it anyway because there is no guarantee it was handled in a sanitary manner by everyone in the many days since it was originally served!

    If you could have anything in the world as your cheat piece of cake, would it be this one? It is probably a cheap, generic cake from a crappy bakery.

    Save your calories for something that is fresher, tastier, something amazing that you can look forward to.

    That is how I resisted an urge to get a pasty yesterday -- I knew that it was not my favorite one out there, and by eating it I will deprive myself of eating a thing I really want (be it next week or next month). But I put a piece of a super fresh, light, airy green tea crape cake in a mental vault for myself for later consumption.

    Sometimes when I have a horrible craving with something like this I will cut a piece.. (small one) sit it next to me for a minute or two while I work and tell myself that I don't want it.. and that this stupid piece of cake has absolutely no control over me and my body... and once I feel more comfortable I throw the entire piece away... it makes me feel empowered that I have control over my eating and that it doesn't control me....


    It also satisfied that "Did you have a piece of cake?" Feeling... Why yes- I got a plate, cut it, enjoyed it, and threw it away when I was done!

    Maybe I'm just strange?

    BTW: If anyone tries this don't get a fork!

    You guys are the greatest. So far, no cake has passed my lips... the image of the hair in the cake totally grossed me out, LOL.

    The unfortunate part: my office has a Hospitality refrigerator which always has stuff like cake in it. This is going to take some real psyching out on my part.

    The fortunate part: the Blubber Fridge is way, way, way down the hall.
