I am very sorry to hear that, can you tell me a little about the circumstances?
assistant
Question
I work around food all day and it makes me hungry so I have been sneaking bites of food when no ones looking. I am afraid. I will get caught

So, you are feeling guilty that you've been breaking the rules and your conscience is catching up with you?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Well yes. that is correct. but the food looks sooooo good. how can you no eat?
user

Well, you won't be able to eat if you get fired ;) I can understand the temptation though - I used to work fast food and I would steal fries sometimes Do you ever have any sort of compulsion to steal other things or is it just food?
assistant
Self-disclosure,Question

user

I think that everyone is sometimes tempted to do things that they know that they should not do so do not worry too much but you don't want to risk your job
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Ok. so are you saying you stopped stealing fries?
user

Unfortunately I was fired. Though not for stealing fries. I was just a terrible cook.

thanks for saying that. I makes you human. Though I do not know if I will be able to stop eating. how do I stop?
user

Well, you could try to have a big meal before you go to work so you'd be less tempted?
assistant

hey that's not a bad idea. Any others?
user

Hmm well do you have any friends at work you could confide in who might be able to stop you? Just tell them to remind you that you might be fired if you keep going!

Are you religious? You could make pledge to God that you would not steal from work anymore.
assistant

religion has not effect on my judgements. I wish I had such faith. perhaps the world would be a safer and more peaceful world if god would punish those who tried to game the system

Yes I agree. Well, what about talking to family members and promising them that you will stop? You do not want to leave your family penniless. Or, if worse came to worse, would you consider looking for a job that did not involve being around food all day?

Yes perhaps a job with out food would be the solution . like a gambler should not work at a casino. this is a revelatoin
