My mom said she would cook me anything she wants/ make me any cake or dessert I want.
I told her I don't want anything high in calories or fat if it can be avoided because I won't have fun trying to not eat a lot of it on my bday.

What are some good low cal/low fat dessert recipes you guys know of?

    Angel food cake "iced" with Dream Whip mixed with diet Jello powder. My grandson has type 1 diabetes and even he can have this. A few fresh strawberries as a garnish make it look quite festive.

    I like apple crisp, you can add lots of other fruit to it and you can make it with a minimal amount of butter and sugar. I use lots of cinnamon, nutmeg and cranberries when I make it.

    I would possibly seek out professional help, if you cannot enjoy 1 day of eating slightly higher cals than usual

    I think Dunkin Donuts has that as a donut...or maybe its krispy kreme.

    Do not have Kamikaze shots, because, well, poor taste given your birth date...

    I really wish someone had offered to bake me a high calorie, high fat cake on my birthday. I had to bake my own. :sad:

    I don't count calories on my birthday!! I eat whatever I want and enjoy my day! The day after my birthday I'm back to beast mode - healthy eating and working out....bye bye cake. The important thing is consistency. There was a quote on Nerd Fitness once that I can't completely remember but the gist of it is - If you're awesome, consistent and staying on target 200 + days a year, don't worry about a handful of special events.

    ^^^This^^^

    If you are in it for the long haul and know you have the willpower to get back to your new lifestyle, in the long run, its not even a speed bump. You may gain a pound of water weight is all.

    I totally agree and follow this "...consistent and staying on target 200 + days a year, don't worry about a handful of special events."
