You know you are a food addict....

When your boss grabs your plate of dessert out of your hands at a work lunch!!!


I told my boss I didnt want to go to the party because I had to sit around tons of all my favorites - enchiladas, tamales, pizza, chips, dips, and DESSERTS.

So, i brought a talapia sandwich, and ate it. Was very very full and didnt feel tempted for an hour. But then, everyone moved to dessert. I sampled some desserts, and decided I really wanted more chocolate mouse!!! Nope, next thing I know, my boss comes from behind and snatches the plate. Hahaha. I was soooo stunned, but I think it's funny.

After the whole office watched this, I surely couldn't go back and get some, so he saved me a couple hundred calories.

But, I'm actually sad I didn't eat it, and im not even sure if its better or worse than the guilt I'd have felt if i DID eat it.

awe. its only funny b/c it is soo true ! but i am glad you didn't eat it, can you pass it over here? justtt kidding !

Funny. I can subconsciously grab something and not notice until too late. 

At least you don't work where people try to force you to eat. I read about that on OH and think, "WTF?" You have a great attitude about the intervention.

Great job bringing the talapia sandwich- ...hmmm...not sure that I would have done it.

You guys must have a great relationship for your boss to be so playful with you- very cool!

I know I'm a food addict because if there are cookies in the house, I'll keep going back and eating them till they are gone! LOL!

I try to remember what my wife says, "You don't have to eat them all today, there is always tomorrow" and even if there's not- she's right.

My boss told me once to just eat a little. I told him he was crazy. If I start, I can't stop. So...he helped me stop before I start :)  (not really cause I had tasted it a few min before but he wasnt there to see that lol).

I do just fine unless i take that first bite and then it sets off some kind of chemical reaction that has me reaching for me even as my head is screaming NO NO NO NO. I hate that part of life :-/

There are people in my office that are food pushers, but I am good at fending them off.

What a great boss for saving those calories... Especially since you did get to sample it already.

I am the same way... I can do great as long as I do not give into that first bite!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!  I would rather have nothing sometimes instead of a normal portion.  Like is it either zero Oreos or the whole bag.  I choose zero! 

I'm glad you went to the work party even though it is hard to be around food we love.  My work is obsessed with cake and I go because I don't want to be antisocial.  

 Oh my gawd, dont get me started on Oreos!! They cant be in the house AT.ALL.  they are truly my kryptonite.   

What a great story. Your boss is awesome.
