How can I resist the temptation to eat on the job?

[romaswift_]

I've recently got a job working in a takeaway, across teatime so subsequently, I'm always hungry when I go, or at least by the last hour of my shift. The chef's are really lovely and give us food to eat whilst we're working such as chips, chicken etc..
First of all I thought this was great! Like free food - bonus! But I really want to stop this unhealthy habit, especially as I'm never hungry when I get home for my dinner my mum has cooked me!
How do I resist the temptation when delicious food is right in front of me?

The key is that you're always hungry when you go. You should break that habit like being hungry before you go grocery shopping usually leads to people buying way more than they need. So before you go to work, eat a full fulfilling healthy meal and then pack with you healthy snacks like carrot sticks, air popped popcorn, water, 100% juice, etc. When you get tempted, reach for your own snacks, instead of those of the chef.

Grab a snack before you go to work and view eating like that as unprofessional, what would the customers think if they saw you all just munching away on the food? I work in a hospital and although food and drink isn't allowed at the desk yet people still do it, I never started that habit because I feel it's inappropriate to just be eating while all the family members are coming in and out of patient rooms.

Maybe you can eat a snack before you go and take a water bottle with you so you'll be less tempted to snack.

Ooh sounds like an ideal job for me😋.

Well obviously you can take the food but don't eat it until you get home.

Just eat before you go so you won't be hungry.

Always eat before you go. Easy as that.
