Overnight oats for breakfast. Sweet potato, chickpea and tzatziki wrap for lunch. Cherries for dessert. Happy, healthy Timber.
Oh what's that I see out of the corner of my eye? Someone's brought a load of multipacks of Penguins, Kit Kats and Gold bars in?
Pray 4 me   |

"I know what you mean. My office are always ordering food in together or getting doughnuts, cakes, biscuits or sweets. Even the daily rounds of toast that I can smell. "
We do Dominos days at the end of the month. They always coincide with a meeting I have to attend in person. I can never avoid it
One time they were throwing a bunch of it out so I took an entire pizza home too. Forced my hand, obviously. Pure utter fucking sabotage. |

Recite in your head "I do not eat chocolate".
When my head's in the right space I can happily walk past the chocolate, biscuit, cake, crisp aisles in any supermarket.
When my stomach is playing up they're like a magnet to me.
Alternatives usually have sweeteners I can't eat  |

Can't walk past it when it's literally 6 feet away from my desk can't move it either as it's a communal table |

One woman in my office had a weeklong birthday party. A week of cake and party food.
I mean, technically I supplied it because she’s a total babe and I adore her but still. Sabotaging cow. I just wanted to eat my nutritious lunch and try to stay in a calorie deficit but nooooo. I had to inhale a tube of Pringles and half a cake. |

Aww OP I totally understand this.
When I worked in the office and people brought in goodies that I wanted to resist I used to just smell the treats but not eat them. I found the fix of the smell was often enough. My colleagues used to laugh and offer to make me a horses nose bag to sniff empty packaging 
Other times I would think of the treats as being off or poisonous to trick my mind. Doesn't always work and probably won't work for others but it supported me when I lost weight.

It's not easy, I agree. May I suggest a large glass of water every time you feel tempted? It's a good habit to be in generally, it improves your digestion and it makes you feel fuller for longer.
It was a big help to me when self control was a factor for me. |

"I know what you mean. My office are always ordering food in together or getting doughnuts, cakes, biscuits or sweets. Even the daily rounds of toast that I can smell. "
Also I used to work in a place like this. Free breakfast with fancy pastries once a week. Team lunches every two weeks. Random takeaways and buffet lunch parties "just because". Food for literally every holiday and occasion under the sun. |

Honestly this isn't even once a week. The kitchen is virtually always carb central and they have a sweet tin. We even have a freezer which currently is full of icecreams. Luckily there's ice pops that are only 30 calories so I could join in in the heat |

"Send them my way and I’ll happily get rid of them for you
Ah that requires effort, can you not just come here?  "
If I start walking now I should make it there in a couple of days |

Is it even possible to NOT inhale the entire tube once you open it? I genuinely feel like "once you pop you can't stop" is 100% scientifically accurate. |

So pleased that everyone in our workplace are stingy bastards. No-one brings cake or sweets generally. Very occasionally, SMT will try to bribe us with junk but otherwise, you can go a w whole month or more, unmølested by Penguins or KitKats. |

I know, that was an issue for me too. It still worked."
It's okay I'm having a pre-tracked cuppa and an apple (which probably has the same amount of calories and more sugar than a Penguin to be fair  ) |

I think in our office it's either bribery from management after shitting on us or easing the guilt if they get everyone else to join in |

Mega head office sent cupcakes after a slightly difficult "we're listening" session. I didn't even get one because they'd all be snaffled while I was teaching! |

We used to get cupcakes with company branding on at every product launch/company wide meeting. They were basic, industrially made cupcakes so there'd always be loads left over. I used to take some home and put them in my freezer for cheat days 
Nothing tastes as good as free food! |

Update: you'll all be pleased to know I've made it home untainted by chocolate biscuit bars
There were loads left over though... Tomorrow is another day to be brave |
