    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.

    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)

    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!

    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...

    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.

    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!

    I eat the entire cake.

    Not even lying.

    In a period of a couple days, I will put away an entire chocolate sheet cake.

    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!

    I don't like cake - so it's not a temptation for me.

    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 ;) )

    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 body

    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!
