Eating Sweets at Work

How do I say no to yummy food that's has been brought into work and all my work mates are eating it?

I have no idea.

The thing is this is sort of a regular occurrence. There are sometimes lollies in the Jar or the occasional cake or slice or someone has brought me a hot chocolate.

I take it because I don't want to feel like I'm being rude, but also because I don't want to make a big deal about trying to loose weight and am unhappy with my size.

The food is delicious as expected but after I've had it I feel like crap. It's something else that I now have to burn off, off what I already have to burn away. I'm creating more work for myself in order for me to reach my goal.

I guess I haven't thought of looking at it this way.

I am creating more work for myself. Why the hell do I want to be doing that. Loosing weight is definitely hard enough as it is, there is no point in my making it harder and that is exactly what I just did and have been doing all year.

Aren't I a DUMMY

Anyways I got off track . . . How do I say no at Work??

For now I legitimately want to go Cold Turkey so I've come up with a sort of step by step plan

1 - don't go into the back room where the yummy are
2 - when you know you have to go back, drink the rest of your water bottle before going
3 - when you are offered the yummy either say no
4 - if you can't say no then accept it, wrap it up and go put it in your bag so you can give it to your partner later
5 - if having it in your bag is too much of a temptation then don't wrap it, just throw it straight in the bin
6 - if it's a special occasion, a birthday or celebration then allow yourself 1 serving and that's it, after that revert back to the first 5 steps

And for later down the track (after the wedding)

7 - 1 serving is OK every now and then. Only one serving and only every now and then (like once a week)

Lastly the final thing I want to keep in mind is that maybe my partner and I are going our for dinner and might be getting desert, if you only allow yourself one a week then you might want to save it for that ?!?! (still this is after the wedding)
