Aurg. I'm so disappointed in myself. I've been doing really well lately, but today I just couldn't resist cake.

Somehow I rationalized this in my head and took 1 square in (from the middle, so there wasn't as much frosting!) of cake and I ate it in like 4 bites.

Thankfully I had enough cals for it and I'm going to the gym tonight, but geeze, why can't I say no to cake?

:grumble:

    Don't feel too bad... I broke and had a kit kat today. I think it happens to the best of us. LOL Just make sure you spend a few extra minutes at the gym tonight. Cake sure is yummy... but don't forget that is what got us here to begin with.

    becasue we grew up in a time and place where it was rude to say no...well that was my excuse.. but a small piece won't kill you... and .... dont be disappointed or discouraged..were looseing weight to better ourselfs... not deprive ourselfs...so if once in a blue moon u have cake... enjoy it as you eat it... thats my philosophy of it...... enjoy and good luck:flowerforyou:

    Sounds like you had pretty good self-control to me (considering you COULD have eaten the rest BUT that square from the middle)! BUT, one piece of cake isn't going to throw you off completely now is it??? IS it??? OF COURSE NOT!!!!

    You'll be fine!!!!! :wink:

    I wish I could, but there are like 8 other people in this meeting with me and they might think I'm crazy. But I really want to.

    Little enjoyments should be enjoyed. Don't hate yourself!! Realize what you did, what you're going to do to avoid it in the future, and move on. Gettin mad at yourself won't let you learn :smile:

    :flowerforyou: Good luck!

    Everyone deserves a reward. I read somewhere than when trying to maintain self-control, but coming across something you really want, then only take three bites. First bite, to see if you like it; second bite, to enjoy it; and the third bite to say good-bye. I try and use this idea often...and make sure i take HUGE bites :wink:

    you do have to treat yourself or when you do give in after avoiding temptation it wont be pretty at all plus we are addicted to sugar so that may be the case, next time split a piece with a friend...swear it works!!!!
