Okay guys, I need some support here. Cake is being served at my office in a little while because someone is leaving. I know for a fact that it is not delicious cake, but sometimes when they're passing it around, I just can't help myself.
I need a list of foods more delicious than store bought cake that I theoretically could enjoy instead when I get home! The idea of a good dessert when I get home will get me over the idea of the store bought cake, I know it!

Blech. Grocery store cake. People rave over it but I have never had a grocery store bakery cake that is good.
Anyway, stuff to eat at home: Kashi dark chocolate/almond/sea salt bar, chocolate covered almonds, strawberries, avocado, chocolate milk, Noosa passion fruit yogurt.0 -

I love this list...although I'd probably swap out that noosa flavor for trawberry rhubarb!
I would also say a nice snack of 1-2 scrambled eggs with some green tomato relish and a tbsp. of hazelnut spread or PB for "dessert"0 -

Gelato is always the answer. Except occasionally homemade cupcakes are the answer.0 -

Exactly!
If you have really made up your mind not to eat sugary crap like cake, there shouldn't be any temptation.0 -

I made this mistake once before--wasting calories on non-delicious cake.
Use those calories on something you will actually find delicious.0 -
So you don't like store bought cake...
I think that is incentive enough to say no.
Sorry, but I got nothing.0 -

Did she say she was giving up anything?? No just passing on sub standard cake so she can have something much better when she's home.0 -
I succeeded! Just to put the nail in the coffin, I looked up how many calories/how much fat and sugar would be in a piece, and it was unsettling. Speaking of gelato, I might have an affogato when I get home tonight as a treat!
Thanks, everyone, for your support!0 -
I find that when I can focus on something that tastes better, I'm less likely to eat storebought cake/something high in calories and not delicious!0

I just ate a Nonni Sea Salt & Caramel Biscotti. I want another... I would eat that over grocery store cake. Bakery cake, though, I'm eating it.0
