Getting shafted out of something that you wanted, usually at work, because of some rule of "politeness" or "team spirit". From the movie "Office Space", when the ratio of people to cake was too big and Milton was told to keep passing it, so eventually everybody gets a piece except for him.

If someone needs to pass on the chocolate cake, it means that they're a little hefty and need to lose a little weight. Could also imply pre-diabetic-ness.
