Today a co-worker offered me the leftovers of her lunch, which I politely turned down.

Even that is progress, Mary! Good for you! Hopefully it won't be long before people in your office realize that you're serious and will actually start encouraging you. (I certainly don't think they're intentionally trying to sabotage your eating plan - they just aren't thinking of you being on a plan yet.)

Mary, I haven't been posting much these days, but when I have checked the boards, I've seen your posts and I want to tell you that I am so proud of you. You are doing great!!! So much of our eating patterns are habit. I know I'm guilty of popping junk in my mouth without even thinking about it. But, once you start making that conscious effort to change the pattern it gets easier and easier!! Stick with it!!! I can't wait to see you in your step-dance costume!! You CAN do it!

Great Job!!! You are doing such a wonderful job, you are an inspiration to people. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see a picture of you in that dancing dress.

It is hard for me to say no to food when I know it taste so good. I think at work co-workers are mainly trying to be polite & not realizing what they are doing. I find it is easier for me when there's yummy food around to dive deeper into work & try to keep myself busy while everyone else munches & visits. That is really hard because I like to both talk & eat.

Kudos to you for having the will power and foresight to turn down the leftovers. I believe I can see you in that costume too! ;-)
