I'm a bit of a germ-phobic, so luckily this isn't an issue for me, but I have heard others who brush their teeth to avoid temptation - do you think this might work for you? Or a big cup of low-cal hot chocolate.

Sorry, these aren't very good ideas but I didn't want to read and run :flowerforyou:

Haha, i have the same issue-i'm in an office of people who LOVE biscuits, meaning that the biscuit tin is always full; biscuits are my biggest weakness too, so it does get difficult.

Seeing as i know that is probably going to happen, i work it into my daily calorie allowance. And i remind myself that they will always be there tomorrow. If it is homemade cake or something like that, i'll take one but eat half, leave the other half for the next day or take it home for dessert, (because i HAVE to eat dessert; after being good all day, it's like a little reward).

Good luck

Thankfully my office is big enough that when someone brings in snacks like this, they are usually left in an area that aren't near me. Or they'll be brought around and offered but I'll just say, "No thanks". Sweets aren't my weakness though, as much as savouries are. My problem is when people are eating lunch at their desks and it smells really good, like fast foods. I have started leaving at lunch time just slightly early before those smells waft over.

In the case of peer pressure, let them know you're not able to eat those things now and have healthy snacks on hand. Depending on how comfortable you are with your coworkers, maybe let them know that it's really difficult to stay on track with it always around so maybe they could do their hand-outs and then put the container away so it's not a reminder? Worth a try.
