What do you do?
Have your cake and enjoy it
We never know when is going to be our last one so we should enjoy every min of our lives
It's possible to enjoy life without cake. Thinking we need sweets in order have enjoyment sounds a bit disordered.
More so than a position that one "needs to exercise"?0 -

You have managed to stress me out on a Friday.
OP - If you like and enjoy cake, then by all means have it on your birthday! I hope you have a wonderful birthday with friends and family and yummy cake! 0 -

Of course. Without it we all risk losing muscle and bone and mobility and flexibility.0 -

Yes, pie always wins! Especially strawberry-rhubarb...

am i still disordered if i don't enjoy the cake?0 -
It's your birthday once a year; if you want a piece of cake, have a piece of cake. Like has been said countless times in this thread, one day of enjoying something special isn't going to derail everything you've done. People get too hung up on things.0

I'd say look at it like a lifestyle. Are you never going to have cake again - of course not. Have a piece of cake if you want it. Maybe account for it in what you eat the rest of the day - say if you are having a celebration dinner and cake, maybe go lighter at lunch and breakfast. Maybe exercise a little bit more. And the next day move back on to your plan. 0

The amount of cake I eat on my birthday is not my problem. Eat the cake.0

Well, it is Friday so I guess a thread about cake getting controversial is to be expected *shakes head*
If you really enjoy cake, by all means have a small piece, log it, and get on with your day. And by the way, happy birthday!0 -
Happy almost birthday! Your sweating a "piece" of cake? I'd eat at least half of it! I enjoy b-days and holidays w no guilt!0

am i still disordered if i don't enjoy the cake?
I'm not sure, let's wait till the person defining who is disorder and who isn't responds.
sounds like a plan.
in the meantime i will exercise, since i NEED to do that.0 -
I eat the cake and everything else, always. Holidays, birthdays and special occasions are good things and meant to be celebrated with food, friends and family. Live it up, enjoy and get back on track the next day.Sunday is my birthday and I've been debating whether I should have a piece of cake with everyone. I think...it's my bday, I deserve it. But on the otherhand are all the calories worth the 2 minutes of delicious cake? I'm thinking no.
What do you do?
Health is the result of what you do everyday; happiness is eating the cake on special occasions. Both are important!

Does every adult that is not overweight without medical issues exercise?
How would I know what every adult does? And I'm not interested in hijacking the thread.
OP, if you want cake on your birthday, then enjoy. If, as you said, it's not worth it to you, then enjoy your day without cake. It's your life, live it as you want.0 -
I don't really like cake, but I'd settle for some pie and ice cream...
Yes, I give myself a pass 1 day a year and it's my Bday. Eat what you want. It's literally 1 day out of 365.0 -

The cake I made for my son's birthday last weekend. It's a s'mores cake - graham cracker cake layers, filled with toasted marshmallow buttercream, frosted in chocolate marshmallow, edible campfire on top. A masterpiece, if I may say so myself.
And yes, I ate a piece. More than once.0 -

I once made a red velvet cake from scratch on a Saturday night because I had all of the ingredients and I was bored0
