My office is an absolute bugger for cake, sweets, biscuits, chocolate, baked goods etc etc. We have a designated area in the office on top of a filing cabinet for stuff people bring in, and there's rarely a day goes by that it isn't stocked with something calorific. In the event that it's empty, we have an emergency chocolate supply cupboard, which gets routinely re-stocked by anyone who goes on mat leave, changes jobs, gifts from patients (yes, we're bloody NHS staff not following dietary guidelines ). Every Friday is 'Cake Friday' where we all sit down to lunch together and there is a rota set up for two people, each week, to bring in cakes.
It's fucking wonderful dire.
I would never be such a stick in the mud to suggest curbing it, as my issue with being incapable of leaving anything on offer alone is just that - my issue.
So how do I leave it alone?? Any suggestions? My willpower is crap. I never, ever buy anything like that for home because I could never eat it in moderation, but it's at my face level all day, every day in work. I'm pretty good at keeping out of the emergency chocolate but the stuff that's easily grabbable is killing me.
What do I dooooooo?!
