Sabotage at work

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

Yes, yes I know. This is all down to me and my willpower and other people are still allowed to enjoy themselves. I'm just saying. Fuck my life.

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.

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

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.

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!
