<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Hi all, I'm (re)starting the journey to weight loss again, and have found it relatively easy to eat well at work until we have afternoon tea. In my workplace, once a week one of my team puts up afternoon tea for the whole team. This stuff is rarely good for you, and is generally along the lines of cheese and crackers, dips and salami, cakes and biscuits and lollies for  good measure.

Now, in itself, this is not a problem. The problem is that I sit about 1 meter away from the table which this is all laid out on. This means that I'm constantly under pressure while it's there, and I find it really difficult to bear the temptation - and once I crack, and have one little thing, often I go bananas and break my calorie budget for the day.

This week I lasted for two hours until I cracked. 

A few things that are out of the question - I can't move the food and I can't change desks (and for a couple of other unrelated reasons, I wouldn't want to change desks). I have asked for more healthy foods to be on offer, but as each week it's someone else getting the food, I would have to convince each one of my team before this would work. While I could make this my "cheat" once a week, I'd much rather have some other item as a cheat - such as a cooked breakfast on a Saturday morning. So I have to learn how to bear up under the temptation.

What strategies do you use to beat overwhelming food temptation?
