Give me strength!
Despite the sugar craving nearly dragging me out of my chair, I will eat my carrots and pout in my cubicle.

Because nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
Except maybe chocolate cake.

    I would have eaten the cake... so good or bad for you, depending on how you view it. Most of the time, I just fit it in my calories.

    I'd skip the cake. It never tastes as good as you think it will.:smile:

    I've been skinny and I've had cheesecake. Cheesecake is much better than being skinny. I also know that long term success is not depriving yourself of things you enjoy, but learning to incorporate them as treats. Have a small portion and fit it into your calorie goal. You don't have to be miserable to lose weight.

    I'd choose wine over cake, too. Unless it's really REALLY good chocolate cake.

    We have cake at my work all the time. Or donuts, popcorn, whatever. All stuff I choose not to eat, but it's really hard some days. If it doesn't fit into your day, skip it and be happy with yourself for the choices you're making. If it does fit into your day then have a small amount. It's up to you, that's the nice thing. You decide what you're going to eat.

    There is probably a hair buried somewhere deep in that cake too ...

    I'm still getting used to this whole calorie counting thing. I feel like I'm making healthy choices, but the calories are still so high! I just need to figure out where to cut things out or find things that curb my appetite. And believe me, I'm insatiable.

    Is it good cake? Like, did some French chef come in and whip it up by hand and them flame torched a little creme brulee to go with it? If so, face plant into that cake! (Or, you know, have a small, reasonable slice.)
    Or is it some dry, grocery store cake or a "homemade" cake that someone made from a box that is most likely dry and cardboard-ish with icing that tastes sickeningly sweet because it came out of a plastic tub? If that is the case, don't waste your calories and stick to your carrots!

    I haven't had office cake, bagel, or donuts in over a year. I just tell everyone I choose not to partake at the company "trough", but everyone should feel free to help themselves.

    I think you can take a middle ground: have a SMALL piece of the cake.

    Avoidance: no cake.
    Indulgence: a big piece of cake.
    Middle way: a SMALL slice.

    Chocolate cake always tastes better than skinny. Always. AND wine, and bacon. Glad I don't wanna be skinny anymore. Priorities. The office cake is a lie. Office cake always sucks. Always. Such a huge letdown.
