Sigh! Why give me chocolates?
But do stand up for yourself and your needs! I politely refuse the gift in the first place, hand it back to the person and then put my hands behind my back so they can't give it back. And thank them profusely for their thoughtfulness. Did that with 3 boxes over the holidays. I know myself and temptation too well.
