Goodbye -- Sniffle Sniffle

Stepson had a birthday yesterday and his wife invited us to dinner which turned out to be pizza with cake and ice cream for dessert. Easily the most unhealthy meal I've had in 2013.

Figured it was one of the times where you have to do the family thing. Kept my servings somewhat small and got back in the swing of things today.

I like your thinking on this and I am finally able to do this most of the time, but to have a cake, especially home baked, laying around calling out to me every waking moment is trouble. I have thrown things away as well, but the easiest solution is to not have it in the house except for maybe special occasions when there are lots of people to help finish it off.

I ate tiramisu, lemon merenge pie and Better Than Sex cake for a week and a half because if I didn't it would have been thrown in the trash.

I still lost weight. Sure, it was less than I normally lose in a week, but hey, it's better than wasting all that food. Not gonna lie - you should be ashamed. Should have just, I dunno, not eaten the cake you bought for your child? If my mother did that to me I would ****ing bawl my eyes out. That wasn't your cake in the first place. If you're so out of control that you feel the need to throw away your own child's cake so YOU don't eat it, you have a problem and need to see a doctor.

Shame on you. That's disgusting.

Daughter had her birthday party Saturday night
Of course there was cake and of course I had some
Then late last night I had some more
And today I am 1 lb heavier then my last weigh in because of 2 days of celebrations
And no doubt 2 different yummy delicous cake

Well today I did a very hard thing threw every last piece of the cake extras that were in a bag (u know the parts you cut off to make the cake even) and i threw them in the trash because i knew if i kept having them in the fridge even if to save for kids dessert I would be tempted so I just threw it away

Great! Good for you. I did the same with the leftover Christmas cookies that we had around the house after Christmas last year. Even though I managed to avoid eating any during the holidays, I was afraid that I would weaken at some point (post-holiday letdown?) and eat them. So they all went in the garbage. Boy, did that ever feel good! And I spent the rest of the day in perfect peace.

SanteMulberry

You threw perfectly good cake in the garbage.


There is absolutely no reason why you can't have a slice at the end of the day.

The problem is that it could trigger a binge. I could probably have the stuff around now and not touch it, but it takes a number of months of "sobriety" to avoid eating things like that if they are in the house.

The kids don't need it either.

I think it's great that you did that. And at some point, you'll hopefully be able to have a small piece of cake, count it and just move on. It's important to learn to be able to satisfy those cravings without going overboard.

But you've got the right mindset. If it's still a trigger, get rid of it until it's not.

Good for you. I've also given cake and regular Coke to the skinny neighbors next door.

I don't think you understand how addictive sweets are for some people. She did the right thing.

I don't need my Nintendo WiiU. Wanna throw it in the trash because you pulled a muscle playing my game and won't stop playing it? I should hope not, because it's NOT yours, and it was a GIFT.

You people either don't have children, were born with silver spoons up your rears, or are just plain crazy vegan health nuts who think the world's ending because a cow farted.

Disgusting. Bye.

You mad?

Your comments are completely uncalled for and dramatic.

who said her daughter didnt have several servings? i am sure she enjoyed the cake.

Even though I commented that would measure and keep the cake, I am offended by your ridiculousness here.

wow.

Agreed. I personally would have kept the cake to have as my daily treat, but I'm not personally offended that the OP threw it out.

Not to mention the OP said she threw away the cake extras. The parts you cut off to make it pretty. Not her daughters birthday cake. Someone that gets this upset over a minor issue like this is clearly one candle short of a birthday cake themselves.
