    Cake for the win! I also had cake last night & only went two calories over my goal.

    You should never say no to cake!
    Unless it's bad cake. Bad cake is one of the world's great disappointments.

    Hello MFP community,
    Last night i went out for a birthday meal with my family, afterwards there was birthday cake as is usually the case at birthday parties, anyway i had a piece of the cake, now my dilemma is i've very guilty for it since, but it did not take me over my calorie goal for the day but did take me over the sugar allowance due to the icing. I had also been out and burned 500 calories on my bike before the meal, my question is should i have said no to the cake?

    Did you just start on mfp? Because I totally worried about stuff like this when I started. Now I eat cake at every birthday I'm invited to. It's not the birthdays that make ya fat, it's the everydays.

    I have done MFP before, just want to make sure that this time round i do it right!

    Thanks for all the feedback all!

    Remember, this is a lifestyle change; you're not planning on avoiding cake for the rest of your life (unless you are some sort of superhuman, lol), so let yourself enjoy it! Sounds like you deserve it for being so strict the rest of the time :)

    Cake is delicious. Fitting cake into your calorie goal is a victory, all the way.

    Awww, it's your Birthday! It only happens once a year and it's yours (and all the other people born on the day) I really wouldn't feel guilty about it! Maybe if it was someone in the office who brought cake in for their Birthday but once a year won't derail you. In fact, I think you should have had icecream with it :wink:

    I like to still enjoy life every now and then so I say yes to cake. It fit in your calories and you exercised, I wouldn't even give it another thought!
