I too have now experienced "diet sabotage"

Put them down the garbage disposal and don't look back.

You know the sweets wasn't that bad, but the part that angered me the most, was him laughing in my face when I said I'm trying to lose weight.

In this situation, there's always the somewhat less mature but more satisfying reaction of smiling sweetly at him as he watches you dump all of it in the trash.

@Jruzer, does a weight lifter put a 300 lb weight in the middle of his living room to exercise his muscle power? Or does he build up gradually within his capacity? It's the same with "will power". If a dieter knows they have will power for one treat, then that's their capacity. No reason to set themselves up to fail.

@PoisonIvy088, I'd be half tempted to give them all away publicly. Shame on your dad.

You don't need to freeze them. You don't need to give them away secretly. You don't need to have more willpower. You need to do what is right for you and if that means they get buried in the trash, then that's what you do. You would not bring home things that your dad has a hard time NOT eating, out of respect for his dietary needs and restrictions. You trying to lose weight is no different. He needs to respect the decision you've made even if he doesn't like or agree with it.

And just so you know, you'll have the last laugh in due time. Your dad's jealousy and insecurities have no place in your dieting plan. Tell him if he brings the stuff home, HE needs to eat them or they will go to waste. Since he CAN'T eat it, he's wasting his money. He won't do it often if he sees you're sticking to your plan. And I'm proud of you. You keep it up and don't quit! And the laughing...that was mean. But when you reach your goal, your dad will be proud too. Jealous, but proud.

Don't be ungrateful. Your dad thought of you. Just say thank you and explain him the situation politely.

Regift to your dad on his bday or Father's Day, whichever comes first.

Figure out which one you really like, and pack them up into single-serving ziplock bags. Eat a bag when it fits into your macros, and take the rest to work. Share the pain!

My wife is an amazing baker, which makes dieting hell. The best thing I can do is share the caloric load and take the goodies to work and get them the hell out of my house!

Mm. I wish that was an option. But from past experience, I'm better off just giving it all away at once. Because one bag will lead to another, and another, and another. And before I know it, its gone.

That's just me. It bothers me until its not there anymore. When I buy cookies I usually buy those little packs of 4. That way, I can eat them all and then its finished. There's no going back for more because there is no more.

I'm the exact same way. I just can't have it in the house because I end up eating it all at once. I guess subconsciously I figure if I'm going to eventually eat all those calories anyway then I should jut get it over and done with so it doesn't consume my thoughts for the next week or two.

I'm the same as you OP if I have one cookie... my brain switches into this horrible person and it's like "EAT ALL THE COOKIES!!!!!"
I have learned to not have any at all or drop them in a bin.... I think I saw other comments above that you could perhaps bring them in to work for others if you work in an environment that allows that.

Often times people who "sabatoge" don't really even know they are doing it. It's important to be strong and also make that person aware (even if you have to tell them several times).

Sorry he's not supportive. But well done for not starting in on them!

Throw them away. I don't blame you for not putting them in the freezer if you don't feel like you could moderate them right now.
