Willpower only works for me, and looking at where I was when I started back in January...till now, those pics help me have a complete distaste for any of that stuff... also seeing the way they hoover it down, then complain about their physical appearance....
Sorry Im fiesty today

I completely understand what you are going through. Unfortunately, I work for the hospitality industry. So, as much I don't want to go to these things, I have to. Being hospitable and social is extremely important! Anyway, with regard to the "Sweet Feast", I usually bring a cup of green tea and munch on some almonds. Or, if it is allowed in your diet, bring tea/coffee and a protein bar. I say bring the cake, but have something else for you to eat.

Where I used to work -- they bought cakes for special occasions -- which I never liked cuz the frosting was waaaaaayyyyy too sweet. Blech!!
But it eventually got to the point where'd the boss would come around, say "Pizza for Lunch!! Except for Jen who won't eat it!!"
Go, chat & sit at a table or stand far away from the cake......

I just say No. I'm kinda with *Bunny* with the Hoovering down bit. I watch them enhale the pizza or sweets or whatever...and cringe. My mantra? Nothing tastes as good as lean & mean feels! It can be hard...but try to remember that you not eating makes them uncomfortable...but ultimately, that's their problem and not yours. Isn't it?

I hear ya on this one...The sales people send us cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and donuts from Krispy Creme. I just think of that commercial about "you are what you eat", with that girl who has cinnabons for a rear!! Do you know that commercial?

That's a good one!!
Are you able to picture things that gross you out?? Does being grossed out prevent you from eating certain things??
Lots of people touching brought-in-food can disturb me at times..... especially when I know a lot of people have unclean hands, breathe on the food, touch it & put it back -- I've seen people pick up a pastry -- take a bite & then put it back!!!!!!!!! :barf:
That'll keep me from eating it.....

I'm actually usually the one who brings in the cakes & stuff for my project teams. Everyone knows I eat chicken & sweet potatos all day so I just make sure to keep pushing the sweets on everyone else and repeat that I am, under no uncertain terms, bringing that stuff back into my house at the end of the day. I'll even go walk around and give the last pieces to people outside my groups who I need to keep good relations with. Then they feel special & I don't have to eat the stuff.
lol @ sassy
Or you can carry a recent picture of yourself when you're looking hot and look at it before you reach for that cake, so you see what you've been working so hard for lol
It works let tell you, last week we went to dinner at my boyfriend's mom's house and it was driving me crazy everyone was eating yummy desserts and then I caved and was like I want a piece of apple pie, my boyfriend looked at me as was like what, you want what, you realize you're competing soon and you want some apple pie I was like yea i do now give it to me, he said sure hold on a second though, pull out my digital camera, where that recent pic of my stomach was and was like here look at this....so do you still want the pie? I was like hmmmm no, you have it haha.
