    That is usually from restricting yourself too much. Moderation is key.

    Don't restrict yourself completely. That will only make you eventually give in and binge eat. Try to keep cake out of your home so that your forced to look at other options while craving something sweet. OR try cutting the cake into portion-sized pieces when you first get it, package them individually (in a tupperware container, bag or whatever) and that way you can just grab a pre-sliced piece and know that it's your limit. That would be easy to fit into your day!

    Well, if you changed your goal to lose 1 pound a week, that would give you a bit more in the way of calories and you'd still be able to progress in weight loss. Then you could eat all the nutrients plus maybe have a bit of room for some treat each day.

    As far as the whole cake, would it help to make cupcakes instead? You could indulge in 2 cupcakes and feel really treated, but have a stopping point before the whole thing is gone. I'm making 2 assumptions here - that you can create a way to store the other cupcakes out of sight (I have a cupcake tray thing with a plastic lid, great for transporting, but also for closing them up and putting them in the cupboard); and that you're making these treats yourself, since 2 homemade cupcakes are generally about the same calories and 1 "normal" serving of cake, where I don't know anything about store bought cupcakes with all the frosting. (You might be able to find similar tricks for other treats)

    I find having kids helps... you can't make cake/pie/cookies, etc or have ice cream in the house and eat it all. They'll find a way to devour 3/4 of it for you.

    As a mom of 5, yes, this really can be true (honestly, sometimes I'm lucky to just get the 1 piece :lol: )

    However, I'm not sure having kids is exactly conducive to the losing weight goal. That's kinda why I'm here. :kissing_heart:

    No success? Are you weighing your food and using the correct entries and the recipe builder? If it's simply a matter of eating too much cake, well, I feel ya.

    I could eat an entire cake too, but I don't. Self control!!! Earn your cake.

    Wednesday night i had 2 pieces of cake, cup and a half of ice cream and 12 ounces of chocolate milk. earned it by running 6 miles and eating clean during the day.

    I love cake, chocolate, ice cream and desserts in general. I just don't keep any of them in the house. I will plan for a treat 1 day a week and I go out to get a single serving so I'm not tempted by having desserts around all the time. It has been working really well for the last 11.5 months and I have lost more than 90 pounds.

    Cake is one of the things I tend to avoid... moderation is hard for me, especially as it's typically just so much better the first day.

    I decorate specialty cakes, but I make so many I don't really ever want cake anymore. So while I make a lot of them, I am kind of meh on cake and and I leave them at other people's houses! Want me to come to a baby shower and bring cake, birthday party? No problem, but under no circumstances will I take any left overs home, you order cake, you get allll the cake. I have one tiny piece and the rest is not my problem!

    Cake anyone?

    I only bake when there are people around to eat it, otherwise I will chip away at whatever is baked until it's all gone. I really love cake.

    NB. 'Chip away' is a figurative term. My baking is actually quite good!
