Uggghh so Im doin a summer co-op and theres one lady in the office who every Fri brings in one of her delicious baked deliciacies like theyre amazing....usually I can avoid them cuz she puts them by the coffee maker and I dont drink coffee....but today one of the other women wasl ike "you have to try it!" and i was like "No dont really like chocolate" (which is the truth) and she was like no no its not all chocolate try it and dragged me to the dessert and handed me one....Unfortunately I ate it cuz I HATE being rude, big problem I have...and it was reallly good....how should I handle a situation like that in the future...like next friday haha?

    try this - 'ok - if you're gonna FORCE me to eat that, you're gonna eat some tofu, salad .. fill in the blank' alternatively, you could take a page from MY book and say 'I'm still on probation for assault on the LAST person who tried to force me to do something'

    Id just be straight up and say you're tryin to watch what you eat. I absolutely know what you mean, my dad will buy some garbage and then is wondering why it isnt getting eaten, because NO ONE WANTS IT. It's crappy. For like 200 calories I can have a decent snack, as opposed to some tiny *kitten* little treat thing I dont want.

    I also hate the notion when people are like "Well you deserve a treat" no, the person who is trying to better themselves gets to say when they deserve a treat or not. One of my biggest peeves now as a healthier/future healthy person

    Just tell her "No thank you," and change the subject. You don't have to give an explanation as to why you don't want to eat something. If she pushes the issue, just tell her that you're not hungry right now, or that you're avoiding sweets right now, or whatever you like. It's not being rude to tell somebody you don't want to eat something. It's your mouth, you get to decide what you put in it. It's not like she baked it JUST for you or something.

    Say no or explain that you are watching what you eat and ask if someone would like to share one. No biggie.

    That use to happen to me constantly at work as well. I made it know to a few of my co workers that I was trying to lose weight and that sweets arent really an option for me right now. Since then, my co workers and bosses bring fruit and other healthy snacks in addition to the sweets.

    or, just say, thank you, but i don't want any. sounds like this coworker was being rude to you by dragging you there instead of respecting your wishes to not eat it. So in my opinion, a little rudeness would do her some good!

    I am not sure how your relationship is with your coworker(s). But, you could always be honest with her and tell her you made a decision to eat better and improve your health. You can always add that once you have one "treat" during the day, it sends you into a spiral or something to that effect (humor always helps ease any tension right?!). Let her know you would love to have her support :)
