    Ask if they can set up the donuts elsewhere.

    My office neighbor orders chicken fingers and french fries every single day. I can totally relate to the torture you feel right now lol
    You could always have one, rip it half, rip that in half and eat a quarter.....satisfy the craving but not adding too many calories.

    Doughnuts were always a weakness of mine! Unless they are from some amazing bakery that really does high quality stuff, I promise you they won't taste as good as you're thinking they will. I am always disappointed when I try a doughnut now, unless it's from Krispy Kreme.

    It's just not worth the calories to eat, empty, unsatisfying food. Stay strong!!! ...and maybe chew gum, brush teeth, drink water, etc... if it helps.

    don't look at them, but picture them in your mind for .001 second, then think about the burn that you'd have to do to work it back off, NOT NOT NOT worth it!!! I work in a salon where the other girls eat out everyday! you can do this, if you packed something sweet grapes, yogurt, apple something, then eat that instead!!! you can do it!!!

    I always tell myself there is a more satisfying/healthier snack to eat that isn't loaded with calories
    Try drinking water...usually helps
    You can do this!!!! Stay strong ;)

    What horribly mean co-workers :)
    Just stay focused playing on myfitnesspal lol.
    Just remember, later on today you will think "I am SOOOO happy I didn't eat that."
    That feeling will be awesome!

    Yes to drinking water. I drink 8 glasses while I sit at work to avoid the snack table that our receptionist keeps stocked with terribly high calorie food items. It works for the most part. Keeps you running to the bathroom instead of the snack table.

    I second moving them. I mean, it's making you uncomfortable, they should move them.

    "accidently" spill your coffee on them! lol Then no one can have them! ha ha ha Actually, if you HAVE to have one, I agree with the aboves about just having a half or quarter. I bet you may find them greasy & ucky. Good luck, stay strong!

    Show some willpower! Temptation is all around you. You cannot expect the rest of the world to alter their life to suit you. Show some grit! At the end of the day, you'll have some pride in your decisions.

    Picture her not washing her hands after going to the bathroom before she picked up the donuts.
    Now picture her coughing all over them before she brought them in.
    After that, picture you blood sugar rising to extreme levels and dropping you into an abyss of 3pm funk.

    Just imagine they have all fallen on the dirty floor outside and the nice lady who brought them just scooped them back in the box for you guys. Who knows? It might be true! Anyways, donuts were not a big favorite of mine until I started working somewhere that brought us donuts regularly. Then, I basically became addicted. But I agree with the people that say unless the donuts come from somewhere amazing (like Krispie Kreme or, if you live where I live, Voodoo donuts!) they aren't worth it.
