HOW???

Every day this week in the office, someone has had a fking birthday/come back from hols etc etc, and loaded up the tables with cakes, sweets, chocolate etc.

My mind tells my body not to eat too much, but my body does not listen.

A slice of chocolate cake, a millionaire shortbread, 2 lines of Cadburys WholeNut, and about 15 Revels later, I now feel sick.

Oh, another pack of mini-smarties won't hurt....hehe

Anyone else suffer from this type of magnetic force? I look around and no-one else seems to be hunched over at their desks, busily clambering peanut M&Ms into their facial orifices.

I can eat as much rubbish as I want and still stay slim, so the way I deal with it is to eat all said cakes until the cakes are no more. Then theres no temptation.

Punch yourself in the nuts everytime you eat a cake/biscuit/chocolate. If the aversion therapy doesn't stop you, pretty soon you'll be doubled over with pain and not able to walk to the cakes anyway.

Easy just say no.

I am the only one in my team not in the friday cake club. Just an informal thing where a different person buys a big cake for the group every friday (usually carrot).

I have always been like that to. But my Dad has always warned me: "I was like you son. Now look at me - I am a lard-arse".

Just my luck the belly will mature just in time for my wedding in August....

add e-coli to the cakes, then you can eat as much as you like then lose the weight straight away.

Print this out and look at it when the cakes are given around.



Alternatively use as your PCs screen backdrop.

No matter what I eat I don't seem to put on weight. I just eat whatever cakes I fancy. Does this help?

That old gag.

My dad though he was 12 stone for 5 years until someone got on the scales with him to prove the needle only worked up to 12 stone where it got jammed.

I told everybody that I needed to lose 20 Kg and that they should NOT bring in Cakes and put them next to my desk. They did not stop. So what I did was to put the cakes and biscuits and chocolates I would have eaten into my lunch box and take it home for my wife who it appears has hollow legs.
