Good for YOU!!! that is a huge accomplishment and you should be so very proud of yourself. IMO those who are quibbling over a slice of cheesecake just don't truly understand the importance of what you did. Once you walked away with that plate (with full intention of eating it) it mattered to absolutely NO ONE if you ate the thing or put it in the garbage. You made a GREAT choice and I'm sure next time you stop even sooner! Congratulations on this NSV! (non-scale victory).0

BUT, stuff doesn't always happen as it should, so. . . good job OP, for sticking to your goals in the moment it really mattered! I'm sure this isn't your new modus operandi, of secretly tossing all of your coworkers treats in your office trash can.
Seriously, I have never seen so many sanctimonius judgments heaped on one stinking piece of cheesecake. If everyone on MFP is so righteous about what to eat, when to eat it, how to avoid temptation, what to do with tempatation, what the hell are they doing here?
There is a difference between turning down food, and taking food of your own volition, then throwing it away without touching it. I am flabbergasted at how many people here fail to grasp this.0 -
No one gives a crap if you abstain from eating it yourself. But throwing away food that a coworker was nice enough to bring in is pretty silly. Could have burned a few extra calories by returning to where the cake was and putting the slice back for someone else to enjoy.

Congrats on resisting the temptation to eat a plate of garbage.
This just in. World will stop spinning on its axis because someone threw away a piece of cheesecake that a co-worker brought to the office because maybe, possibly, someone else might have eaten it - or not.0 -

How dare you police someone else's food choices? How dare you throw away food that someone else brought in for people to enjoy? How dare you decide that your narrow worldview of some-foods-are-the-debil is shared by others?

oh have grasped the severity of of the crime just chosen not to be flabbergasted0 -
I believe in Abundance and that there is an infinite amount of cheesecake in the Universe. I'm also reminded of the Law of Conservation of Cheesecake which states that cheesecake cannot be created or destroyed. For these reasons, and because I have no attachment to Material Things I'm not concerned with someone moving some cheesecake from one place to another, different place.0

Fine, you eat the cheesecake out of the trash.0 -
To everyone saying 'don't waste food!!' - eating food we don't need is also wasting food. It's just made into poo.
Well done for beating cheesecake! Don't know if I could have!
That makes no sense. If we ate food that we didn't need - and it just turned into poo - nobody would be overweight.
When I was struggling with waste and throwing stuff away as a child, My mother told me that it is wasting food to eat it if it is more than your body needs.
I think she is right, because it becomes fat, which if excessive, is waste! And unhealthy.
Good for you OP that is a huge positive step in learning to do what is good for your body. Congratulations!!!!
Had she said that, sure. But that's not what she said. And she is utterly incorrect with what she said. Agree all you want with her - she's still spouting nonsense.-1 -

Perhaps I would if I were hungry, after all, "one man's trash..." as the saying goes. But I am at peace with the cheesecake finding its Destiny and Purpose without my interference.

Wait...cheesecake is garbage? I thought it was just thrown in the garbage?
Pretty sure I've never actually eaten garbage, but have eaten cheesecake so I'm pretty sure cheesecake (in general of course) isn't garbage.0 -

i think the op should have pre logged it first and then thought about it, but could it not also just show abit of control. save the calories for something else later?
control would be leaving it in the fridge, not eating it, and saving it for a day when OP wanted it.
throwing away perfectly good cheesecake because it is viewed as "bad" is, in my opinion, semi disordered eating.
Jeeezzzz
its cheesecake....he did not kill a cat 0 -
