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

    If it's not there, you can't eat it. You should be very proud of yourself. That was an awesome show of the strenght you have inside of you. Me? If I had been there with you, I might have dove right into the trash can after them!

    Really great job!!

    Some treats I allow myself when they fit into my calories for the day, but there are certain treats that I just do not bring into the house because I know I can't be trusted to not eatz it allz.

    Recently heard a cute thing -- you either waste it or "waist" it. Better to waste.

    Good for you!
    It was very hard to do I am sure.
    Lucky for me I have ducks and chickens so I throw the
    extra foods to them.

    This is so true!! We always think "oh if I throw that away its suck a waste!". But really, if you're keeping it in the house and you know you'll be the one to pick at it... 1) You're just setting yourself up for failure later 2) Its going to go to your waist! :)

    Great job OP! Don't feel bad about it at all. Think about how much less stress you SAVED yourself from not eating it later and regretting... etc.

    This.

    Seriously though, good for you for being able to do that! I never realized it before I started trying to lose weight, but it really takes a lot of willpower to do stuff like that sometimes.

    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.

    I like this phrase and tell myself this when I remember.

    Since most birthday cakes have very little nutritional value, They are better off in the garbage. Good job! If it was me I would have eaten all the cake in one sitting.

    BRAVE Girl! GOOD Girl! It's hard to do that -- but you did the right thing... I hate it when that stuff calls out to you from the fridge (which it does and... birthday cake screams LOUD!!!) :) Keep up the great work!!!!

    This.

    Fit the cake in your day...measure it next time and enjoy it....I have learned( and it took a while, believe me) that letting go of restrictions freed me from obsessing about food.

    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.

    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. :smile:

    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.
