Too bad all those free, pretty-looking donuts in the rec room are made of 100% poison.

I mean I am sure they would taste delicious, if only they weren't made with 100% ricin flour. That's why I can't even think of touching them.
(Free treats at work, especially this time of the year, are SO annoying! I don't buy junk food at the grocery store anymore but it somehow still rears its ugly head!)
Good more for the rest of us...0 -

If you were my co-worker I would totally take you up on your offer of sweet delicious posion... especially if there is chocolate icing and maybe some festive sprinkles.

I've eaten a donut or two in the last few weeks. Can anyone tell me how much time I have left?0

Yes totally annoying vs pretty awesome someone decided to share with their co workers out of the goodness of their hearts
Perhaps. But perhaps not. I often bring treats I just don't want in my house to work. I do it so I'm not tempted, not out of the goodness of my heart. I actually feel pretty guilty sometimes when I see some of my obese co-workers pigging out on stuff I brought.0 -

^^^ This.
In for workplace sabotage and imagining good food has poison in it just to avoid partaking in something that was a totally nice gesture by someone in your office....
Workplace sabotage? I was just posting this as a joke, goodness gracious. Just expressing how hard it is to avoid junk food when you have a humongous sweet tooth and no caloric space for it. Of course it was a gesture of good will. There is no way in hell I would ever bring this up with any coworkers since I know it was a gesture of good will.
you can't fit a 200 calorie donut into your day...????

The one I was looking at at 360 calories would have been *23%* of my net calories for a slight weight loss trend. I can't afford that and also beat hunger cravings all day if I want to have a good deficit at the end of the day. It's about compromising, a 10 AM treat for no reason at all just doesn't fit into my day - if I have space after dinner, I can have a small 80 calorie cookie at home.
eat the damn donut and run a few laps. it's not going to kill you... yet.0 -

It's true. But it's them or me. They lost. I'm not proud of it.

Don't worry about it. I wouldn't.

This post was mostly a joke, I am super-aware that what I eat is 100% my responsibility. That being said... think of it this way. If your coworkers weren't eating the junk food you brought in, they would probably be going to the vending machines or a store for some junk?0 -

They would. That's how I justify it to myself.
I am half-joking. I don't 'worry' about it because it is their choice, but I do feel a twinge of guilt sometimes.0 -

It's amazing how crazy people get over donuts! I quit eating the donuts at work years ago because they did wacky things to my bodily functions (I don't eat anything from this bakery). People thought I was the crazy one. Now my work doesn't pay for donuts anymore and people were pi$$ed! Sad.0 -
I successfully avoided them for the entire time! Yay!
And of course it's a nice gesture to share. It's just a pity I literally can't partake at my height, weight, activity level, and goal weight. Maybe next year's holiday season, after I have more muscular mass, I could take one every now and then.
Some people in my company joke that its initials actually stand for a phrase along the lines of "gain 10 pounds" for this exact reason. The pastries are constant.
Good for you since you were trying to resist. I don't have too much wiggle room with my calories and sometimes I have to turn treats down. I am in a small office and there are rarely sweet treats, sometimes salads. I am appreciative because it is always one woman who goes out of her way to bring treats, but I have to balance if I have enough calories or not.0 -
I was in a study lounge at one of my school's buildings and there was a box of unattended donuts. I ate all of them then left. No shame.

Our VP doesn't want to have birthday parties anymore, so I started bringing in cupcakes. You have to celebrate the birthdays, dammit!

I just now read that sabotage thread. Wow. Yeah, I'm a different poster.
Um...I would never ever call this trend sabotage, because sabotage means there is intention to do others harm. I'm not an idiot, I know these are put out as a nice gesture, and emotionally, I do appreciate it.
In case you couldn't tell, I was kidding about there being poison in them.0 -
My hubbys making a apple pie w crumb topping and caramel sauce!!! He increased the insurance pay out on me!!!!!!!!0

I know you were joking, but in your mind do you demonize certain foods to avoid temptation? I guess whatever you did works for you. I just don't like to think of foods as "bad"0 -

I make money out of poisoning and sabotaging them.
