    :sad: After having a horrific stomach acid attack the other night after overindulging in cake, I am not going to have any problems saying no to cake in future.

    I just think of how many miles I have to run to burn it off. Answer: TOO MANY. Not worth the seconds of deliciousness in my mouth. Strawberries are just as sweet and delicious and BETTER .

    I have cake all the time.

    I just mix the cake mix with diet soda instead of the normal oils, eggs, and such.


    It's very yummy.

    I never say "no" to cake. I just have the teensiest piece possible.

    It isn't that you CAN'T eat the cake, it is that you CHOOSE not to because it will add unnecessary calories for your day.

    However if you really want it - EAT IT! Log the calories into your counter and continue your day like normal.

    If you restrict yourself too much - you are setting yourself up to fail. Eat anything you want - just stick to your calories and control your portions.

    I don't have problem with cake - I am not a fan. I have a problem with real food and eating too much of it lol

    Why say no? I do not understand. Eat a small piece of the cake, log it, and go get some activity. I do not tell myself I can't have something it makes me crave it. I want this to be a live style change not a diet. I can not win on a diet because I restrict myself too much and end up quitting and binge. Not what I want for myself. I want to have a healthy lifestyle that includes sweets and treats. It is more manageable that way and I can continue on that way.

    Take a piece, say thank you, poke at it, put it in the trash.

    I have a small piece. Log it. And move on.

    BAM! Easy as that.

    I find that 'no thanks' works pretty well :)

    Either that, or just have a small slice, pop it onto your food list and then do an extra half hour of exercise!

    If I REALLY want a piece, I take a small piece, log it, and forget about it!

    Don't deny yourself, but keep the portion size under control :)

    I don't say no to cake, but I rarely find it right under my nose for free and I'm way to cheap to pay for it. Also, I don't like most icings so that helps me avoid cake. Same thing with any other baked good, I like mine the best, and I'm rarely confronted with it for free and am too cheap to pay for it.

    cake is good, but is terrible for you mentally and physically. if you are trying to avoid eating sweets, just get outta there.

    eventually it wont appeal to you, but not at first.

    You have to do it repeatedly. Discipline is like a muscle. It only grows if you exercise it regularly. The first few times it's going to suck. Then it will suck less the longer you keep at it until cake doesn't have any more power over you and it doesn't fill that emotional craving.
