DeAna N 229 Posted July 25, 2012 That's my problem too - I work in a call center/production environment, and everyone is always bringing in treats and offering them. Its frustrating since I'm trying not to make it well known that I'm having the surgery (I work in an office full of women and they gossip!), but I've made it clear I'm on a diet... but they still offer. I know they mean well, but dang. We also have monthly potlucks that you're expected to keep filling your plate at - I've actually had it mentioned to me that I only had one plate, why didn't I have more, I'd hurt so and so's feelings for not trying their dish etc. lunch is alittle easier for me we don't eat in the same area but there is an area that holds the coffee tea and the hot shot for hot Water and everyday people bring in doughnuts and sweets. It just sits out for anyone to enjoy I have been trying to avoid that area completely but it's on the way to the scanner and copy machine so far so good but they aren't making this easy for me Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
