    BASTIDGES!

    LOL! Thought my husband was the only one who said this!

    I'm with everyone else, if it's worth it, then yeah, i'm all over it, but so few things that people randomly bake and bring in here are, so....pass!

    Today the Insurance Rep brought his favorite HR ladies fresh fruit cups. I almost jumped him right then and there. My cup had MANGO in it.

    We have a very popular designer bakery nearby called White's that does everything right. If it's from White's I don't hesitate. If its catered cafeteria fodder I pass (unless its Macaroons, in which case I have as many as I can stuff in my greedy face).

    Bourbon Bacon Topping
    Carmelized Balsamic Onion Jam
    Turkey Burgers (white and dark lol)
    Waffle Fries w/ Masa Batter
    Sweet Potato Waffle Fries
    Breaded Cod
    Mahi Mahi
    Hatch Chile Chicken Street Tacos
    Queso Street Tacos
    Assorted Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes
    Black Cherry and Ricotta Cheesecake
    Salted Caramel Ice Cream w/ Sea Salt

    And about 28 other items that we have to sample for a spring product launch.

    I use my office break room as a dumping ground for sweets and other food I don't want around the house. Anything I put in there is gone in an hour or two. They're like ants with sugar. Since I'm weird about eating in front of people, it's not too hard to resist.

    I like the 100 calorie packs of chocolate covered pretzels. I have one of these when craving something worse. There sweet and yummy so I feel satisfied that I got a treat and there are a lot in the pack so I don't feel cheated

    I agree with several other posters. If it's GOOD free food, I'll fit it in. The success is in passing on marginal stuff just because it's there. I can take a bite and throw the rest out now.

    Me too

    I work for a food distribution company :laugh:

    Since I work in Inside Sales, we are supposed to sample all the new products so we know what we're talking about when working with our customers. I handle all of our casino accounts, and they always want to know about new products.

    This is what I do!!!!! Sometimes my husband will get sweet treats from customers and we have a piece, and its to the office the next day! Get that sh.t out of here!

    Currently dealing with this right now. My office loves to bring in goodies. Today it's doughnuts and chocolate. I've been resisting for about 2 weeks now. Feels good.

    OMG for once there aren't any sweets staring at me from the desk in front of me. It's been a constant strugle for months now. The sweet bringer finally got another position so she's not here anymore. She was killing me daily.

    My office is having what they refer to as a "grazing day" tomorrow. Fried chicken and all the fixins to go with it. I decided to make dessert because if I make it and bring it to work on a day like this, none of it will go home with me and I can forego eating any of it! Why does an office full of people who sit around need something called "grazing days" anyway?? Why not have "get moving days" instead where we all do some jumping jacks every hour?? LOL

    bacon sandwiches
    omg.

    congrats for resisting -- :)
    Why congratulate that?? I would congratulate eating the bacon sandwich.....every day should have bacon in it!

    I actually don't like bacon anymore...unless turkey bacon counts. *ducks and runs for cover*.

    As for cake....if you want it and can fit it into your day, go for it. We had Dunkin Donuts at a staff meeting last Friday, I wanted it, I ate it, I counted it. Mmmmmm.

    why in the world have "grazing day" on an obscure day in march?

    i mean, prior to holidays, etc. it's justified -- but not just any random day --

    -- it they had a "get moving day" i think, sadly, nobody would come -- :\
