HELP! There is chocolate cake staring at me!!!!

tyediri

So a coworker has brought some yummy chocolate cake to work today and everyone is on about how delicious it is! I haven't even looked at it yet, but it's just there and I can't stop thinking about it! HELP!! lol

The only thing motivating me is the fact that I weighed myself this morning and I had lost weight and I don't want to gain it all back!!!

Have some if you want it, one slice of chocolate cake will not make you gain 13 lbs back. Or, you know, don't. :flowerforyou:

Not this. You don't need to use exercise to make you feel better about eating food.

Yay! Thanks people! I will eat a tiny skinny slice and dance a little bit harder during zumba tonight!

Nom nom!

I'd eat the cake, and enjoy it, and NOT do exercise, thats like punishment for eating cake.

I'd just fit it in my macros.

i save exercise for fun and enjoyment.. not for punishment.

I wouldn't have any. It might be too yummy that you go have more!
^ That is my problem anyway.

Eat a piece of cake. Make it work in your day. Enjoy it and then move on.

Although a lot of people will tell you to exercise it away - try not to fall into the trap of making exercise a punishment for eating. Your goal should be a healthy, balanced life. Not a life of rewards and punishments. Just my opinion.

Walk away, remove yourself. "If you hang around a barber shop your gonna get a haircut!"

a slice of chocolate cake is not going to make you gain all the weight back.

if you really want a small piece then have some, as long as you under your calorie goal for the day you will be fine..

I also exercise for FUN and not punishment... :-D

Thanks all! I had a tiny piece and found it a bit too rich. Definitely not tempted for more. lol

Yes, I agree that using exercise for punishment is not a good idea. I enjoy Zumba though, and I was umm-ing and arr-ing about doing it tonight as I'm hurting from Body Pump last Friday (yes it's been 3 days. Grrr). The cake helped me decide that I WILL do Zumba so that I stay within my calorie goal. I do enjoy some booty shakin!!! x

Good for you on having that cake I don't think we need to punish ourselves for a little treat either.

I wish i had some chocolate cake!

I would have to say no once I have a little I might not stop.

I am with you - just a nibble usually is enough to satisfy the craving without going crazy over it.

Good luck to you!
