I can't believe I ate the whole thing...

Its not JUST about cals in vs cals out. Its what your putting in your body, its all fat and sugar and you really should only treat yourself to something like that maybe once every few weeks.

OK, nevermind, I looked it up on this site and it's over 1500 calories a slice!!! Throw the cake away, just toss it, get rid of it....NOW!

OMG! I guess I have to agree.... I could not eat a quarter of a slice at a time while it stares at me!!!

Wow! You should burn calories just logging it.

Some of these replies remind me of that Sex and the City episode when Miranda becomes addicted to chocolate, makes a chocolate cake and eats nearly all of it, throws it in the trash then eats a piece from the trash in desperation!

Lol

In all honesty though i would just bring it at the gym, there's no way I'd be able to eat it in pieces. What's done is done

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Well I know what I'd do - and you should do the same, it's your birthday.
I would eat the whole thing today - gone, finished. You don't need to salivate at the thought of it in the fridge. Even if you freeze or hide slices it will torment you. EAT IT!!!!!! ... and just forget this one day to log your calories :-)
I must ask though not being American or familiar with Cheesefactory - how the hell do they get 1500 calories into one slice? I baked a big cake the other day and carefully added all the calories for a total of about 2500. It was so big it took me two days to eat :-)

wanna bet you lose weight from this indulgence?

How do you figure? At 1500 calories a slice, I'm putting on weight just thinking about it. :happy:

I dunno about you, but my goal here is to keep the weight off... you can't deny yourself everything forever.

You do have measure what's worth it to YOU and what's not;
what are trigger foods and which treats you can manage portion control;

It's funny now that I'm watching what I eat I enjoy my food more, because I'm not eating without thinking.
when I do eat a treat it's oh so much yummier than it was before.

Dude, eat the cake..

Exactly!!

A big ol' cake staring you in the face! You're either gonna have the will power to eat sparingly (which most of us who love sweets cannot) or you're going to go overboard and eat more than you wish. I agree with freezing it. If you can eat it without feeling guilty, then go for it, but if you're going to regret your impulses you're best to get rid of it. It's just cake, you control it, don't let it control you. I didn't even look when this was first posted but it could be gone already. lol.

Cheesecake will mess up a diet quicker than anything. You cannot safely build up enough exercise calories in one day to balance that cheesecake. If you did a 1500 calorie fun run, the possibility of dying from exhaustion is high.

Thanks everyone! This has been fun!!

I do believe that one should be able to cheat every once in a while. I don't cheat often,but I do have a sweet tooth and when there is something like that carrot cake in my vicinity, I want to eat the whole thing.

We have just less than half of the cake left. Game plan for tonight is to have dinner with the family and everyone gets a piece until there is nothing left. I get one more piece of cake and the family makes the rest go away.

Win-Win situation!

Stay strong, motivated, and have a great weekend!

Just don't worry about it now. The damage is done and I don't think it will have a huge impact anyway. Just remember tomorrow how you felt after eating that and make sure you do not do it again and eat more healthy snacks if you are craving. To make sure you're not OD on calories.
Good luck x
