So, here I am, at work, all happy about how well I have been doing, and a coworker places a cupcake on my desk......... a cupcake. Not only A cupcake, but possibly the yummiest looking, most tempting cupcake in the history of cupcakes. He, along with all others in my section, know that I am on a mission. A cupcake! And I resisted. I Turned down a cupcake! (maybe the first ever?)

    Great job :) For the longest time I turned them down too, but I finally got to a point where I could just eat half or a couple bites & throw the rest away (bury it deep...LOL) without feeling guilty or like I was blowing my entire day!

    It is sabotage. Get used to it...it's going to keep happening through your journey and life. Try not to fixate- it won't help.

    Good for you!

    LOL I have a moto - it's easier to walk away with none, then to stop at one!

    It's nerdy but true!

    I like to give people the benefit of a doubt, and not always assume that they have ulterior motives.

    Perhaps the gift giver understands that it's possible to eat a cupcake and not derail one's fitness goals. :flowerforyou:

    That is a really great point! It is MUCH easier to not have one at all than to resist a second (and possibly third) one!

    I was going to give you credit for resisting the urge to eat the cupcake, but you had to go and call someone's generosity "sabotage".

    well done, I work with people like that, then the comments start, 'just one won't hurt you' or 'don't lose too much as you'll look ill' etc.

    Normally it's from people who are larger than I, diet trolls!!

    It's just a cupcake, you know what they taste like, just stick with it x x

    Your coworker sounds like a jealous b!tch. Giving you a delicious and possibly homemade-from-the-heart treat and all. What a horrible thing to do to a person.

    No, I fully understand it was just kindness. I dont expect other people to think about my goals every time they want to share. I politely told him that I really appreciate it, but I couldnt indulge just yet. (dont have that kind of will power on day 3) and if he would like to give it to someone who COULD eat it, I wouldnt mind. I was not really angry, I was joking. I was mostly just proud I resisted. I am glad to see that some people take everything so seriously.......
