    It's too late now, someone probably had the last Boston Cream anyway.

    PLAIN DONUTS FOR THE WIN!

    Or any of the ones from Neils:

    Have one. It's probably the same as my yogurt/granola and sausage breakfast. Complete the rest of your day as usual.

    Easy right?

    Nothing tastes as good as donut feels.
    That's the fact, Jack!

    I totally feel your pain and I have two tips. One try eatting something else. Remove yourself from where you can see them or smell them and have a piece of fruit. I know it sounds lame but it totally helps! Two if you give in...time yourself eatting it. It makes a huge difference the next time when you look back and think huh... enjoyed that 5 min and have to do work out...HOW many? to burn it off.

    Have a 1/2 donut to satisfy the urge if you must.

    Have one now or you might splurge later. You don't need to avoid, just limit. One donut will be fine or find someone to split one with. I do this at work with a fellow MFP member. Strength in numbers.

    I would probably take the donut, and pop it in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Something just happens when you nuke a donut...it's this warm gooeyness that just explodes in your mouth, and...oh man....

    But that's just me.

    There are so many comments I want to make in response to this, but every single one of them would earn be a strike.

    If you don't want to/can't fit it into your cal goals, ignore them. I deal with this all the time, in fact there are not only donuts in the office right now, but brownies as well. Donuts are a "trigger" food for me (can't stop at half of one, can't eat just one) and it is not worth the guilt and misery I'll feel afterward. Just not worth it.

    There is no such thing as "Good kind" from tim hortons.

    All those donuts are bull****

    man the **** up and stop eating bull****

    LOL

    Self-Deprivation is unhealthy, but still entertaining nonetheless. :drinker:

    You haven't had Dunkin Donuts then...
    Timmy's are AWESOME

    I dont eat manufactured food that contains 10000% more sugar than normal.

    At least your first edit made sense (though improbable). 10,000% more than normal? Normal WHAT? Normal FOOD is a little vague.

    A Dunkin' glazed donut has 12g of sugar.

    A medium apple is a pretty "normal" unmanufactured food with 13g sugar.....
    Today I learned that 13 X 100 = 12. It must be like my microwave's version of math, which says 61 > 100.

    People who bring in donuts/brownies/cookies/cake/brownies etc., half the time don't eat them themselves, they are just bringing them in so everyone else will eat them instead! I do it all the time; I'll leave a box of Oreos in the break room because I ate a few at home and don't want to finish the box--and they are usually gone by noon. Do you want your coworker to have that kind of influence over you?

    Don't eat it! And enjoy NOT eating it, with the satisfaction you are making a healthy choice for yourself. Save the calories for something you decide to eat on your own, not just something that happens to be sitting there!

    Oreos are not for sharing. They come in single serving containers.

    Someone had a birthday today and there is a nice looking chocolate cake with icing in the lunchroom.

    I just walk away.

    I'd make it fit, if I really wanted one. I had two edible arrangements come to the office yesterday, the ones with the chocolate covered fruit. I ate! I logged, I moved on with the rest of my day! I didn't even work out, because, you know what it was a rest day and I didn't need to! You don't have to go workout every time you have a treat. Have the damn donut if you want it, just log it accurately and stay to true to your calorie goal!

    They're the good kind from Tim Horton's, too! Tell me why I don't want one, PLEASE!!! :sad:

    You do want one. Just one...... Savor each and every bite. And then make the rest of your day fit into your calorie goals.

    WHAT IS AN EMPTY CALORIE AND WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING.

    Are there little calories just floating around in the air? Jeez, we're all in trouble.

    What's the problem? Just don't eat one. I always have healthy snacks at the office (keep a huge bag of chopped veggies in the fridge.) Have to have will power. I ignored the treats at work (every Wednesday AND Friday) for about 14 months no matter how tempting they looked until I reached my target weight last month. Now am in maintenance so will allow myself the occasional indulgence.

    Of course if you are in weight-loss mode and just can't resist a very special treat, then simply keep your overall calories for the day in your target range.

    Eat one if you want to... Don't eat one of you don't want to.

    Simple!

    What's wrong with donuts? I had one this morning.

    I wish i could just eat one donut.

    Truth is, I am telling myself that nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels...

    Hahhahhahha I love that!!!

    Maybe have a dedicated place in your office where people can leave goodies, but it's not in plain sight. We have a breakroom at work, but when people bring in donuts, they go in a small alcove. If you want something, you go there, but if you don't, you don't have to see it.
