It's my birthday today, and my isster's tomorrow, so my whole family is getting together at a restaurant for dinner. It's authentic indian food, so fatty, creamy deliciousness is inevitable. My only plan for tracking that is to "not eat after I'm not hungry"... on that same level, should i have my cake and eat it too?
It's one day / year, i almost always turn down cake or eat 1/2 a piece. (I'm a mini blizzard kind of person - portion control)
But it's my birthday. If there is cake to be had, i should have it, no|?
What about other monumental days like your wedding, anniversary, etc.
happy Birthday! It's your birthday don't wory about calories or fat or carbs or anything. It's one day if you can't enjoy your birthday then watching calories/fat/carbs whatever has become an obsesive habbit and that's not a good place to be. After your birthday dinner get back at it and don't let it be a down slide for you.0 -
how can this even be a question?0

I eat birthday cake - mine, my friends', my family's, any random person that offers me some of their birthday cake.
In fact, I'll eat just about any cake offered to me. :laugh:
Sad, but true. (to be fair, I always find a way to make it fit within my macros)0 -
I'll eat your birthday cake!
That sounds wrong.
...how YOU doin? :laugh:0 -
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I'm not a fan of cake (gluten free and lactose free so it's a killer for me... literally) but my birthday's on the 17th and I assure you I will be indulging in an extra glass of wine or 2!!
Enjoy yur day and your cake, you've earned it!!!0 -
oh eat your cake hunny, and happy birthday to you!! Last weekend I had all kinds of cake, granite little pieces but between multiple grad partys and my moms birthday it was abundant. I done well though, I have had almost half a grad cake on my counter since Sunday and have only had a tiny piece on Tuesday! I am hoping my family finally makes it disappear soon!0

not eating cake every time it's offered is something healthy people do
not eating cake on your birthday is something people with eating disorders do
I like this thinking.
I really just made this post to attention *kitten* some happy birthdays.Thanks for the attention!
I remember when i was on WW, someone talked about mindlessly tossing a dessert in their mouth then spitting it in the garbage because they realized they didn't mean to eat it, and didn't want to log the points. Everyone applauded her for overcoming the dessert tray. That's when i quit ww...0 -
Of course! (Well, I don't like cake, so I eat my birthday cookie or whatever.) Just eat a small piece, and watch your portions at other meals. If you go a little over.... oh well! It's your birthday, it's ok to indulge SLIGHTLY.0
-
Hell yeah. Although I have a summer birthday and have watermelon w/ candles instead because I prefer it!
I do eat cake, ice cream, cookies, etc. at every 'celebration' that I go to. I just make sure I exercise a bit more that day, eat smaller portions of the meals I eat beforehand, I don't eat a HUGE piece of whatever and I don't go back for seconds.
You have to live your life. A 'diet' will ruin the fun of eating! Enjoy!0 -
I eat the entire cake.
Not even lying.
In a period of a couple days, I will put away an entire chocolate sheet cake.0 -
for whatever reason, my mind went to a really, really dirty place

My birthday was yesterday and yes I had a piece of cake.0

i DO eat my cake....and if you're not fast enough, i will eat yours too!
NOM! you snooze, you loose (<
lol)0 -
First off, Happy Birthday
My birthday is next month. I haven't been eating any sweets for awhile now. I am thinking that I will get mini cupcakes and have 1. Lot less calories and I won't feel guilty! No ice cream for me either! I just don't want it anymore.
Hope you have a great day!0 -
I don't like cake - so it's not a temptation for me.0

One day of splurging isn't going to undo every other day you are on track. Do you plan on never eating birthday cake again? Moderation + sustainable habits are the key. It takes 3500 calories OVER maintenance to gain a true pound--one piece of cake isn't going to do that (Unless your one piece is the whole thing
) 0 -
A birthday is a day you should do nice things for yourself. People give you presents so you should give yourself a present too. There is a choice of 2 presents and you should choose the one you want most: sexy, attractive body or cake and a fat body0

it's your birthday...as someone said...
healthy people just don't eat all the cake all the time...
unhealthy people create food restrictions and or have a lack of food sensibility...
I would totally eat the cake....well not the WHOLE thing....but a piece...
I will be honest....there have been years when I didn't eat the cake....but it was because I was having such a great time that the cake was gone by the time I remembered to grab a piece!!!
that should the ONLY time you don't eat the birthday cake!0 -
I made AND ate my birthday cake last week. There's still some in the fridge.
I should have some for lunch.
Basically. YES.0 -
Eat the entire freakin' cake if you want. Ok, maybe share a little.
It's once a year. Unless you're finding events to celebrate with food every other week, it just isn't something to sweat.0 -
Last year I didn't as I was trying so hard to be good and I think I needed to break from typical things I would do. But this year, I know myself better and I will have a piece of my cake, in fact I had two pieces (not on the same day) of my husbands birthday cake last weekend, and it was wonderful! One or two splurges is not going to derail your progress. Life is about living and having fun, so it is ok to treat yourself. Enjoy!
so agree!!!0 -
Happy Birthday and yes, have a bit of your own cake. Life's too short to miss out on the occasional treat!0
-
Happy Birthday! Mine is Monday and you better believe I'm having cake! Or actually, Jeni's ice cream, which is heavenly and sinful, all at once. Enjoy in a controlled manner, plan for it, and be grateful you are around to have a birthday and use your taste buds! Some people aren't so fortunate...0

Eat your birthday cake and enjoy every bite!0

Happy Birthday, birthday people!
This year for my birthday I asked my mama to make me one of her carrot cakes (seriously, full fat, like a cup of oil, 6 eggs, cream cheese and god knows what else) for my birthday. I knew I was starting to get serious about getting healthier, losing weight, and I also knew that couldn't happen until ALL of the cake was gone.
It was delicious. Next year I'll probably have something a little lighter LOL.0 -
heck yes I would eat my own birthday cake! Mine was cheesecake had some the day after too!
Its your birthday, if you feel like having a piece of cake I say go for it, enjoy it even if its just a small piece
as for other special events, I might have cake, or not depends if it was worth it to me (Chocolate cake + worth it. Carrot cake = not worth it!!)
Happy Birthday!!!:drinker:0 -
If you don't eat your birthday cake, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands! But, there can't be any nuts!
Happy Birthday :flowerforyou:0 -
It's my birthday tomorrow, too, so happy birthday to us! I doubt I will have an actual birthday cake as we're going to be away from home for the weekend, but I will definitely be having dessert!0
