Jeff needs to take some diet pills, exercise, and stop telling other people how to take care of themselves.

Instead of blaming “enablers” why don’t you express some will power?

Why are we attempting to curtail the happiness of others because a few people cannot control themselves. IN this situation, Jeff is a buttinski and should mind his own business…and his own waistline.

Seriously? You need someone to metaphorically slap your hand in order to avoid the cinnamon roll casserole, or to partake in it with moderation? Seriously?

sorry. i’m a fatty w/o much will power. this note is VERY appreciated. why would i want to go to an office where everyone’s fat and getting fatter. why enable us. i’ve noticed that it’s the people w/o weight issues that bring in the crap – and they never eat the crap they bring in. PASSIVE AGRESSIVE INDEED.

Right, like I said– he did it first, so it’s okay. It’s totally okay to be a jerk as long as someone else was a jerk first. I used that argument when I was a child, too.

I work with a lot of overweight people who are NOT happy about it but continue to eat crappily. I’ve packed on a bit myself so I’ve gone back to a low-carb, almost vegan diet which I actually like. They roll their eyes at what I eat and say shit like “I’d rather be fat than have to eat that!” I have never once said anything about anyone’s eating habits at work–including the diabetic lady who sneaks into the breakroom to eat handfuls of any birthday cake or cookies left about. I’m not one of those dieters who yammers on about it or claims to have all the answers…so why is it okay for the non-dieters to berate my choices??

I can guarantee that he’s already getting advice from doctors, and probably being harassed by his family. It sounds like he’s in enough pain from the foot ulcers and discomfort from diabetes that his health and his weight is never far from his mind. I’m sure he’ll be *really* glad when his co-workers start laying into him as well. Unless he asks for help, you have absolutely no reason to talk to him about his weight or his eating habits. There’s absolutely no point to talking to him, unless you think that your words would be more convincing then those of his doctors or his family. It’s not like you talk to him, and he suddenly realises; “Holy shit, I really AM fat! When the fuck did that happen???”

I found that one and two others. One is a cinnamon roll strata and the other is like bread pudding.

In his defence – and I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate here – gluttony IS one of the seven deadly sins. Whereas boozing it up or getting stoned isn’t, so it’s all good.

You mean they wouldn’t be allowed to go to the other company’s premises upstairs and sell them…because if their employees came down to buy them then that’s none of the upstairs bosses’ business.

Because the idea of making that using cinnamon rolls is so enticing that I’m seriously considering trying it this very afternoon.

Is a bread pudding in America the same as a bread pudding in Britain? In Britain it’s basically white bread put in a dish, maybe with some sultanas or other dried fruit if you’re feeling fancy, and then with custard poured on it and allowed to soak in and then baked. It comes out kind of like a bready creme brulée.

How can you defend that behavior? Holy shit, Mar. Equating junk food with alcohol or drug addiction is fucking ridiculous. If you absolutely cannot share the same plane of existence with a plate of junk food without shoving the entire content into your slimy gullet, then you’ve got some problems that aren’t going to be solved by being a whiny, insufferable cunt to your coworkers.
