    OMG! So. Much. Sabotage. There's only one way to fix it. You must shame each and every one of them until they give in to cardio and clean eating.

    Technically the "cake" was angel food cake, which is made with all those lowfat substitues and chemical soups...ugh.

    Then it was not truly strawberry shortcake, then was it?! :noway:

    quit.

    it is far easier to lose weight when you don't get a paycheck to waste on food.

    The orange one has a valid point.

    Not sure if a lawyer will take this on, but....
    Do you have a union? if so check with your local rep, I'm sure you can file a grievance for this.
    Shortcake at work! The nerve of some people!

    Now that's bordering on assault. Sugar is poison. He tried to poison you. File criminal charges.

    Cake happens. People are entitled to eat it or not, as they wish. You can't really expect the your workplace ban cake for celebrations because you are dieting/eating healthy. Is it tempting, of course, but if you are committed to your health, you will choose to forego, or to indulge and either do some extra cardio to burn it off or live with the guilt and vow to not indulge next time. You are changing your lifestyle for YOU - how others choose to behave is not relevant.

    Dear Diary.
    I of course can't eat that crap, and was forced to make an *kitten* of myself by declining the food while everyone else contributed to the rise in obesity of America...

    I'm thinking this is ground to sue under harrassment due to hostile work environment. Serveral of my coworkers ridiculed me for refusing the cake.

    Many of my other coworkers have already signed testimonials that they saw the ridicule and harassment.

    Anybody know a good lawyer who deals with this in Texas, or do you feel like this could constitue a valid case?

    If I've learned anything today, just be glad no one brought you a freaking iced mocha.

    Eating cake once in a blue moon wont make you gain weight or ruin your 'clean diet'. Your coworkers may be rude but talking like this about food isn't healthy either.

    If I want cake I eat cake. Big deal.

    character limit on the thread title...I wanted to start it with ZOMG so it would be more clear this was satirical (hell, check my diary), but I kind of like how this thread turned out.

    I think we all got several great tips about willpower and lawsuits. Gold stars for everyone! :flowerforyou:
