    Envision cockroaches or ants crawling over the donuts. Bleh!

    Watch someone else eat the donut and picture them with that giant donut around their middle. That won't be you!:tongue:

    You are diabetic - the donuts could put you in a diabetic coma....
    I think this is the key right here...to paraphrase Elaine Bennett "Are these donuts COMA worthy?" :wink:

    Remind me why eating the donut (donuts because I won't want to stop at one) would derail the progress I've been making.

    You need better willpower.

    Yes, admittedly. Being human and of a rebellious spirit I automatically want the thing I'm told I can't have. So far so good.

    I'm thoroughly enjoying the replies, though. Thanks all.

    This is the worst part of working in an office setting. We always have about 3 girls (myself included) that are more health conscious while everyone else stuffs sugary sweets in their mouth until they are sick... and the worst part is, they stack these sweets on the counter in front of the 2 main secretaries who are trying to lose weight. I am lucky because I work away from all of that and have an office to myself. It still makes its way to my office as one of our therapists walks around with those yummy chocolate cake Dunford donuts...trying to tempt me with his poison!

    I have 2 things that motivate me to say no... one is I am going to Cancun in January and I have a steady goal of 25-30 pounds before my trip....and second is, I really hate cardio! I do it because it is good for me and it helps me achieve my goals...but none the less I HATE EVERY SECOND OF IT! I want to do my 30 to 45 minutes and be done. I don't want to worry about doing it longer to burn off that 500 calorie donut I just ate. And seriously, this sounds mean, but I envision fat little piggies watching them scarf down all those empty calories. Also...I allow myself a free day once a week to indulge in a treat or a meal (Or adult beverage) so that I am focusing on my goal the rest of the week. This way I don't feel that I am depriving myself, yet I am sticking to my goal. If you really want a treat that is healthier without killing your diet or spiking your diabetes, Paleo has some really good muffin and brownie recipes :)

    Wait a minute. We are allowed to be mean? Eyes the wooden ruler on his desk.

    {sound of a ruler smacking into my palm}

    So, we want a donut, do we?

    Oh dear. Can we save that as a last resort? :wink:

    Don't give up what you most for what you want right now!

    Drink some water. Walk up and down a flight of stairs. You can do this!!

    That one slobby, gross guy in accounting fingered (hee hee) each one of those donuts, trying to figure out which one he wanted. He uses that finger to pick his nose and God knows what else. So that frosted donut isn't really frosting.....

    Do 5 push ups every time you think about a doughnut.

    I'm a meanie. But I'm not going to be helpful here.

    I'd eat the donut.

    Having a donut shaped lump in my thigh would be pretty weird.

    Just think of how proud we'll all be when you post at the end of today that you resisted!

    And, the sneezing post. Read that over and over and over again.

    Or think about the dude that made the donuts and how he forgot to wash his hands after he _______ (insert verb here)...

    Just think about the donuts sitting in a co-workers house. Now imagine, that house is on an episode of Hoarders.

    One of us. One of us. One of us.

    OP can give me all the donuts. Problem solved.

    Now visualizing piles of sugar covered in snot and creepy crawlies and people wearing donuts around their waists. For some reason the "ick" factors work better than knowing it isn't good for me. Whatever works, I say.
