Whenever dieting, when someone at work would offer me something like that my standard response was "You fucking know I can't eat shit like that...asshole/bitch (depending on gender)! How about if I stick that brownie up your ass!"

Nonerz, try it, after you do that to about 4 or 5 people in front of a group, especially when no one at work has ever seen you not be cheerful (I'm happy all the time in public), NO ONE will offer you junk food again.

Thanks for the tip...but that wouldn't go over very well in my office! Plus, I'm a "nice girl" and should realize that those goodies are not good for me! For a long time I showed great will power and was able to turn away even the yummiest looking treats! I just wanted the results more than the brownies, donuts, candy, etcetera. I was at the point where I counted every single solitary calorie! It was a bit nuts now that I'm reflecting back on it. I've now taken the mindset that I train hard, I make better choices now and I shouldn't beat myself up when I want a treat. The latter is the hard one for me...

BTW, my nickname was the "Food Nazi."

PBR -- <<<<<<<hugs>>>>>>

BBF -- In my office that would be considered hostile work environment!! We get written up for looking sideways at people. I'm still on probation for crossing my eyes!! LOL

Although I'm sure it would be effective....

I have a couple of coworkers who push baked goods like crack dealers. They make you feel like an awful person for declining. My favorite was when one of them was trying to give me a giant piece of carrot cake and explained that it was healthy because it didn't have nuts in it. lol

Not to say that I never eat sweets, I certainly do-- but I plan them. I have ice cream on Sundays. I can stay out of most everything junky all week when I promise myself ben and jerry's with breakfast on Sundays.

Right, I love people's perception of what is healthy. A guy I worked with always complained because he couldn't loose his gut, and he would ask me for advice, and never take it. He was always eating canned pears and nutrigrain bars at work. WHen I would say something about the pears, he would say they were ok becuase they were healthy. Hmm.. lets see, since its canned, most of the nutrients have been lost. Most of the calories are from fructose, which when eaten in large amounts slows down metabolism, and then its canned in pure sugar. Nutrigrain bars... loaded with sugar, void of nutritional value, and have hydrogenated oils in them. I don't eat that bad on some of my cheat days.

Raina, I know... they always try to make you feel bad and try to stuff it down your face, which is why I am such an asshole about it. People need to respect other people's lifestyles. I don't hold them down and inject them with testosterone or trenbolone... so they shouldn't try to force feed other people crap that will kill them and make them a lard ass. People like that really piss me off, which is hard to do... because I like most people.

Yeah, I used to get into the "healthy" VS "clean" with people - it never works. I always end up getting "What's wrong with fruit? It's healthy!" or "What's wrong with cereal? It has no fat and milk has protein!"

Ugh. I gave up. They eat how they want, I eat how I want and that's that. If they have an issue with it, tough.

Right. LoL I hear the same things. Then they ask me why I eat so much meat... and "is that oil dumped all over your salid?", "You are eating alot of cheese, that can't be healthy.", "Ewwww... your peanut butter is runny... that stuff is fattening you know."

 

[Daisy_Girl]

Oh yeah, the oils and nuts. I forgot you get that a lot from most women. Those are the women who cut out fat ENTIRELY and think weight lifting will make them "look like a man because they get really bulky when they lift". Ugh.

My most recent favorite was when my coworkers were talking about their lunches out & blah blah blah & you never come with. I told them they don't invite me which is why I don't go with them. Their reply? Well, we don't invite you cuz you eat weird things!

What's weird about chicken, vegetables & salad?? Oh wait, they aren't fried or covered in grease.
