Dear Co-workers,

Please, please, knock it off with the food. Or at least tone it down a bit. I thought we were going to have a monthly birthday celebration but there's a celebration for each one. If it was just cake it might be reasonable but there's enough food for an army and it just sits there tempting me all day. I usually stay away and end up feeling like I'm being rude. This week I joined you all (two days in a row!) and I just ended up feeling sick.

So I'm not going to ask you to stop the all day feeding frenzies if that's what you like. But I simply can't participate any more. Please don't keep reminding me that there's food. I feel so much better when I control what I eat. I'm sorry if it's rude.

Sincerely,
Workplace Party Pooper
