My job is making me fat...

I have been working at a candy store for the past year.
I was normal size to thin when I started but since working there I have gained enough weight to be worried that yes my job is making me fat. I enjoy the rest of this job but I really am worried that if I don't leave soon I will become seriously overweight. btw no I don't just eat the products for free I buy a lot.
Of course I have tried not eating it but lets be honest if you are working with chocolate and smelling it all day you are going to eat it I would call myself a chocoholic. Seriously its like an alcoholic working at a bar. Should I quit? Would you be able to avoid eating your favorite food if you handled it all day?

    Hit the gym and eat healthy foods to balance out the sugar. Protein will keep you fuller for longer and should negate craving the candy. You also need to eat fibre and learn some self-control and portioning.

    Why don't you exercise to balance it out? Maybe use the chocolate as a reward every time you complete an exercise routine.

    I have been working at a place that sells and makes cookies, brownies, cakes, churros, and other types of junk food for almost a decade. As great as the food looked and smelled, I hardly ever buy their products. It's best not to blame your job for your actions, OP.

    You are making yourself fat (Probably fatter). Yeah I would be able to avoid eating it because I have willpower. Get some constitution and stop blaming your weakness on outside forces.

      I can have self control as long as Im not around chocolate all the time. I weighed 120 ish when I started now Im like 160!I didn't eat it or any junk food for a two years before. However being there all day I CANNOT stop myself. If youre a guy imagine working in a porn shop and not looking at it. Could you?

    Quitting your job probably is not a good idea because there is a chance you may have trouble finding another one immediately. You should go for placement gym like companies with gym. That would be fine.

    Quitting your job probably isn't a good idea because thereis a chance you might have trouble finding another one right away. Maybe search for another more suitable job while still working at this one until you get another job offer.

      I am. I know it sounds kind of pathetic this whole thing, but ALL the other people I work with are fat. My boss is fat and shes been there 10 years and she even says she was skinny when she started. And its not just chocolate, its awesomely good chocolate.
      I sound like a lil piggy but, that's my weakness.
