Office Diet

Today was our department potluck and a reminder of how much I hate the food sharing at work. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't appreciate people coming by and offering me treats. It's just that no one ever has anything reasonably healthy. People always bring sweets. I think work is the worst environment for people trying to shed some fat or trying not to add more. The problem is people are not simply offering the treat. If you turn them down, they look at you funny and ask if you're sure. And then they'll ask you again. I've learned to turn people down and stand by it. They always comment about how I only eat healthy but in a slightly mocking manner. It's like there's a stigma in the workplace behind maintaining a healthier lifestyle. My advice to you is to stick to your guns. Just say no.
