Co-workers keep bringing fattening cookies/donuts to work. How can I resist them?

I need to lose weight and it's so hard when my co-workers bring all these goodies in to work to share with the office. Do any of you have the same problem?

Thanks for the great answers, everyone! :)

For me it was easy. Most of that stuff is chocked full of enriched white flour and sugar, usually corn syrup and/or high fructose corn syrup and other forms of fake junk. I once looked at the ingredients list of a box of Hostess mini-donuts and was beyond disgusted. I think there was even lard in there. ICK.

You could also just start making healthier alternatives to share. The other evening at my Bible study, I made a chocolate cake with no eggs or milk or fat and whole wheat flour. It went over very well. (Bananas or apples sauce can be used as an egg substitute; Applesauce works for oil, too. Do a search for "vegan egg substitutes". With that, you'll find some good vegan recipe pages, too. VegWeb is one of my favorites.)

I hope this helps.
