I had two cupcakes at my father-in-law's 50th birthday last night. Oh my gosh, they were sooo good!0

I feel your pain - I am also a baker and know how hard it is. Most of it is portion control - I add recipes into MFP and see how many calories my cupcakes come to. I found out my oreo cupcakes (which I would have 2-3 a day previously) came to over 300 calories. So now I would half the mixture so the cupcakes are smaller, less calories, but I still get to enjoy the taste. I've been on MFP for a month and I am losing steadily so it must work - I've not cut out anything I enjoy I just eat less of it! Or you could save up calories/exercise to earn one. But don't deprive yourself of anything or you will fail - that's the mistake I've made in the past and only lasted about a week or two and have then ended up binging!0

My mantra has been: "everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial". So yes, when I want the cupcake I eat the cupcake. I eat right the bulk of the time and an occasional cupcake is not how I got 45 pounds overweight. It was three cupcakes and a bag of chili cheese fritos with a diet pepsi and calling it lunch on a regular basis that got me there.
And I don't starve myself all day to eat the cupcake. I just say "hey today I'm gonna be three hundred calories over. I'd better keep an eye on things this week to make sure it doesn't get out of hand." Because it can easily for me. We crave what we eat. When we eat garbage, it tends (for many of us) to create a craving for more garbage. I make a conscious decision to eat the treat, and then move on with my normal lifestyle of reasonable eating. When I allow myself to indulge in moderation on occasion, I eliminate the binge eating that comes with deprivation lifestyles.
But that's just me.0 -
The only reason you cant have them is if you cant control yourself. I will eat 4 cupcakes in one day, so I never have them. I also would rather watch tv than exercise off some cupcake calories, and I don't want to save room in my diary for a cup cake instead of real food. That being said, as long as your nutritional goals are being met, and you have the calories, have a cupcake!0

I'm missing chocolate cakes... cupcakes with frosting. I've been at this for 2 weeks now and for me I am trying to eat healthier for the rest of my life, so I do not see it as a diet. But I am a serious food lover and enjoy baking - and eating what I bake. Is there anybody out there that still eat some of their favourite 'naughty' food and still lose weight? Cheers mi dears0

Hot dogs topped with macaroni and cheese?! I you.
It was from Ditch Plains (UWS NY) and yummy as hell. They top them with bacon on request, as if something that great could get better.
That just needed to be reposted. Where's a drooley smiley when you need one?!0 -
I had 2 donuts for breakfast and probably gonna have 3 soft tacos from taco bell after work, cheat days are yummy.0

oh my! i have lost 4 lbs. I had a get together last weekend for a friend who is getting married in July. Another friend has a cupcake business.... she bought these red velet cupcakes with cream cheese icing.... i lasted as long as I could and I had 2.... 1 would just not cut it. They were out of this world. I have been trying all week to work it off. I felt soooooooo guilty but they were sooooooooooooo worth it.0

Yup. And I had some damn good Doritos today and I'm still within my daily limit.0

Yes..I will never give up the foods i love completely!0

Yes. The only food I have that is off limits, is the food I don't like the taste of.
Fit it into your day, exercise to work for it, or accept that one treat occasionally isn't going to ruin your progress.
^^^^ This^^^
Just came off a week's vacation by family where there were treats offered constantly. I had some in moderation and not all the time. I tried to fit in some exercise although it was not my usual amount or routine. I made sure I logged my food. I finished my vacation with a slight loss.0 -
Yes, my grocery store had TastyKake pies on sale 10 for $10.00. Husband says, we don't need them. I said but I am going to have 1 and that is all. So I got the tasty-klaire pie and it was really good. And I did log it!
If you don't give your self a little leeway....you might lose it all and eat everything in sight.0 -
Yes. Yes I do. I had one today, actually.
I still indulge sometimes. But I also ran 60 minutes today, burning over 760 calories. So...... I earned my cupcake?0 -
I have a chocolate chip cookie everyday...fresh baked and a little underdone. I've also lost almost 30 pounds. It's okay to indulge...in moderation. I'd go CRAZY if I cut out anything I love!0

I totally agree with some of the advices. Depriving yourself from stuff you love, will result in craving.. And you do not want that to happen.. Therefore, eat whatever you like, simply make sure you are within your calorie. However, I would not advice eating greasy stuff all the time though.. Once in a while, it's perfectly okay.. Enjoy..0

I still treat myself to stuff often. I don't want to deprive myself for the rest of my life. I just do an extra workout or eat great the rest of the day.
I do love to bake as well, but I find that if I need to bake something I keep some and give it away. I send it to work with my husband or school with my kids. I give it to people who have helped, bring them to play dates, etc. I still get to bake, I still get to give my kids yummy treats, but I don't have to have 4 doz cookies or 2 doz cupcakes in the house to tempt me.0 -
Hell to the yes. I make killer red velvet ones from scratch.0
