    This always puzzles me. Be strong.
    A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.
    Also, remind yourself that you'll never be sorry you didn't eat that donut.

    How is whining being strong?
    So your telling me that by over eating for years, I can't lose weight?
    And depending on the donut yes I may be sorry I didn't eat.

    but i eat things I want in moderation, and make it fit into my daily macros/calories

    I am strong, I work out every day and lift weights. I eat cookies, donuts and what have you when I want to and make them fit into my calorie count. They don't show up on my hips (and didn't when i wasn't working on losing weight and ate them).

    I'd be sorry if I didn't eat the donut.

    Try coming to work and having your coworkers bring this sucker - about 20" diameter (apparently it shifted on the ride into work)

    If the second line is true, that means that no one would ever be able to lose the weight and change their body for the better. That is obviously not true - judging by the vast number of success stories we have on MFP..

    The third line is also not true. I would be very sorry if I didn't eat that donut.

    It's her birthday. She can have donuts if she wants donuts.

    Either work one into your day and thank her for bringing them, or exercise self-control and don't have one.

    I agree with this. Have it or don't. Make your choice.

    It's her birthday. Let her eat donuts.

    No one is forcing you to have one.
    You're an adult right?
    You can make decisions?

    So put these on and go about your day.

    Seriously though. That is just life. You will be constantly tempted. You can't control what other people do. You can only control what you do.

    Amen.

    Why?

    Maybe your coworker understands that donuts aren't what caused her to get overweight or that one donut isn't going to wreck her progress...why not just have one? You're an adult. You can choose to have one or not.

    This!

    If there's a boston creme I'll take it thanks

    AMEN! Hopefully there's 2...otherwise it's either split it or fight to the death...

    I'm one of the lucky few who isn't attached to donuts. I just think about the friedness and calorie loaded witch they call donuts, then that's very persuasive for me. If you need to see the numbers that are in donuts, I suggest googling calorie and nutrient's information through google. I guarantee those numbers will help make that donut less appealing to you.

    Have done it...still eat them. LOL

    Self control is developed and strengthened by practicing it in exactly situations like the one you described.
    Expecting that those who surround us adjust to our needs and make things easy for us does nothing for self discipline.
    I would suggest that you decide how much enjoying some of a doughnut is worth to you, or stay away from it.....you are 100% in control !
    I personally would not eat a doughnut, because if I have a treat I want something really special to make it worthwhile and a doughnut just does not fall into that category......for me, because it's my life.
    Good Luck !

    Yeah, pretty much if we're logging on this site we know what the numbers are. We probably don't eat them every day, but eat one once in a while. They're pretty appealing, even knowing the numbers.

    1 Doughnut won't kill your entire diet.
    just enjoy the Doughnut if you don't want it do not eat it! :flowerforyou:

    Exactly. Donuts are always appealing to me. But I have enough self control not to eat them all the time.
    Life's too short to freak out over a donut. I'd eat one whether it fit onto my calories or not. It's one day.

    A deficit helps you lose the weight, self control helps you keep it off. Practice makes perfect, OP.

    So this post is hella old... I still have to say, why did so many people shame this woman for asking us to share in a moment of her vulnerability? She did the right thing by reaching out for support.

    Most people just need us to be present with them in the moment and empathize, not tell them what to do!

    we have donuts every Friday in the office - If I can't enjoy something without guilt, I skip it. There will be days when you can splurge, and actually enjoy it. It doesn't sound like this is the time.:smile:

    orrrrrrrrrr we could help her realize that she doesnt need to eliminate donuts from her intake.

    seems to me that's more helpful than circling around the OP singing kumbaya while we all perpetuate her fear of foods she loves.

    I agree 100%
