I've had issues with a couple of my co-workers who sometimes act like they think it's a funny game to try to get me to eat whatever they are offering. "It's just a little, it won't hurt anything." "I made it especially for you!" and even "You're not even that big (lol). I found something to say that stops them dead in their tracks.
"I now choose to not eat that." This sounds every bit as awkward as it seems it would. It doesn't flow, it doesn't sound like something anyone would say in normal conversation. It works like a charm. The first time I say it to someone I usually get a confused "Oh?", and after that mainly irritation. Which is fine, I find being tempted while eating less to be pretty irritating also. If I were to get any other follow up I would say "Sure, but I now choose no." on repeat.
I'm fine with being regarded as weird if it helps me get to goal.
