My coworkers are trying to make me fat and unhealthy like them.

I was completely correct about co-worker 1. The first words out of her mouth was "but who am I going to sit with?" She's sitting with our boss! Ha!

I forgot to take into account that co-worker #2 is a food pusher. He routinely goes to charity bake sales buys a bunch of stuff and gives it to us. I kindly told him that I would watch the front desk while he went to get food since the boss and CW1 were there. He went got a plate and came back. He told me that there was plenty left if I wanted to take my turn. To which I said, I'm not taking a lunch break today, but thanks anyway. His response? It's not good to not eat anything all. Huh? I kindly said, I ate at my desk and don't want to stay late to take a break (I wanted to say, we're not all salaried pal, some of us don't get to take off for an hour and still get paid!). Again he pushes with "there's vegetarian lasagna." Seriously? Do I have to detail for him that I a) don't want white flour and b) don't eat cheese? I shouldn't have to. But I was stupid and did. Which he called a "Diet." And I said, well actually, I don't eat cheese because it's full of hormones and antiboitics that I don't want in my body. After that he brings me a plate of cookies and brownies and says to take two. I could smell the peanut butter and chocolate that's how close he brought them to me. And I already know how good they are. {sigh}

I just said as politely as possible no. No thanks. I already ate. Of course, he had to swing the plate in an arc in front of me one more time to make sure I didn't want it.

What is with people trying to make other people fat! Nobody here is obese. But they are not thin and their eating habits are not good. CW2's lunch usually consists of coke and cheetos or pretzels. I'm not going to claim to have great eating habits, but I eat well alot of the time.

I have to go through this again next week. The meeting I have is fine, they're getting me a cheese-less whole wheat pizza. Yet another of these lunches next thursday though. Maybe I'll be too sick to my stomach to go.

Well, all the coworkers and the boss are back - no other attempts to get me to eat - lunch is over and I successfully avoided temptation!

I am looking at my calories for today and I am going to be pretty low, so I think I will let myself make a Single Lady Cookie after dinner tonight. Figuring out the ingredients using stevia (calorie free) even with chocolate chips (organic dark) it would be under 100 calories.

Coworkers can be a pain in the butt when you try to diet.. If I hear another "Omg you cant just drink those stuff, you have to eat" I am gonna flip..

Keep up the good work.. You are doing great!
