When people shove junk food in your face...

I have been known to throw the entire box of donuts away (when no one's looking, of course), just to avoid having these conversations...

You are right it is SO rude when people comment on how other people are eating!

I love that she threw the donuts away!!!

it was a National Doughnut Day, can you believe there is such a day?

I implimented a healthy eating snack schedule in my office....3x/wk someone is responsibly for bringing in something healthy...it has worked very well. We have had everything from a large fruit salad to a healthier version of spinach dip and toasted pita bread....maybe this will work for you, good luck!

First off, only a few months ago, I would have wished I had that problem, no-one ever offered food at work. Secondly, just either laugh along with them, or ignore them, knowing, smugly, that you're improving your health whilst they're taking in all that processed sugar at once.

This happens all the time. One time we had all this cake and pie left over from a party and this guy came to my desk w/ 2 plates and really huge slices of pie and cake. LIKE REALLY! I should have flipped them over on him LOL. Let me stop I gotta maintain my happy love walk in this fitness venture. Next time I will throw my bran cereal or a boiled egg at him. Okay that's not nice either is it. I kind of felt sad yesterday when my cube neighbor ate nothing but mountain dew, pop tarts, and doritos, but who am I to tell her what she should and should not eat.

I often get "you've lost over 40 pounds; don't you think you deserve a treat"......luckily, I do not like doughnuts, so this is not an issue for me, but I LOVE bagels...they are my breakfast-food weakness

it was a National Doughnut Day, can you believe there is such a day?

Yes, I can believe it. We're still living in a world that doesn't know enough about nutrition to know how many calories (and everything else) each piece of food was and how much you need. I know I didn't untill I started here. I reckon it should be taught in schools.

I know! drives me nuts. Especially at Christmas time... Here have a dainty....no thanks.... oh come on have one...No thanks I'm good... They're REALLY good... I'm sure they are.... Just have one I baked them myself.... I DONT WANT ONE THANK YOU!. Really I want to eat the whole freaking plate of them and then punch you in the face!! Grrrrrr!!!!!

First off let me just say, "LadyBug" you already look great so if you did sneak the occasional BITE of a donut, you'd still look amazing I'm sure. LOL I've been on your end of things many, many times because I'm a vegetarian and I try to only eat organic. I find when people are "shoving" foods my way it's usually for the fact that they either A) Don't understand that I'm not interested in that food; have made it and want to have the praise associated with something tasting good and making themself feel good; or C) they are miserable with themself so they want company and the more people they can convince to "eat the donut" the less miserable they will feel. I tend to shove back on occasion and bring in a healthier version of something equally as yummy, but made to my specifications. They can either try it or not. Makes no difference to me. I then have a wholesome, delicious treat that I can eat without guilt. On those occasions when this is not possible...baby shower, wedding, birthday, etc. I choose the healthiest thing to eat at the event. Sometimes that's a glass of water. LOL It's all about choice. We choose to do what's best for us! Hang in there LadyBug!

I just say "No Thank You". From that point forward any change in the tone of my refusal is up to them.

Gahhh!! This drives me nuts - especially when people know you're trying to eat well and try to throw you off. I work in a small office and someone is ALWAYS bringing in chips or cake or something and setting a plate on my desk. My husband tries to tell me "its ok to splurge sometimes babe, you're always too strict". If I splurged everytime he said I should I wouldn't ever eat well! Good for you for resisting - peanut butter and toast sounds yummy to me!

I tell people who bring me (or point out) bad foods like donuts this short story: "You know recently one of our coworkers in died in the office because he was overweight and a smoker, I think I'll pass so I can stick around a while longer."

It is very flustrating! My dad and mom are constantly trying to get me to eat unhealthy foods. Not because they dont care, but because they like to see that im eating enough. Thats the kind of family we are, we love food. But I just tell them no and adventually he stops. Sometimes I will cave but only if its not totally bad for me. It makes both of us happy

omg same problem here. A lot of people i'm around are somewhat overweight, and they all think i'm thin & I can eat whatever I want because I'm also one of the youngest people around adults usually. I know the pain. I HATE it!! People think that just because you are thin, you should eat junk food because nothing will happen to us.

As for you, I would say the office friends are probably feeling guilty for eating the dounut, and when they see that you don't eat it, they feel even worse. Because they realize that you got your body through restricting or limiting your intake, so they want you to eat it, so in their head they can justify their fatness on genetics not on their actions. if that makes sense?

My mom has the same problem at her work. She's 125 & trying to maintain, and her co-workers are all a lot bigger than her, and they all eat JUNK all the time, and they always give her a hard time for packing her own lunch & eating healthy. I think people are just upset with themselves!
