    I don't really restrict myself all that much. If it was me and I wanted it, I would probably go cut one in quarters and eat my smaller portion.

    Sorry they sound so good. I am weak but you are strong! Go for a little walk. It will help.

    you did good by only eating a quarter of it. what I do is I try to imagine who made the dessert, and if i can imagine them with dirty hands or little kids that stick their fingers in the mix, etc. then I can gross myself out enough to not take one. I'm crazy, I know.

    I completely understand. Today is the 2nd Annual Bake-Off. As soon as I figure out how, I will post a picture of our lunchroom, with a list of what they have.

    I think they enjoy taunting me.

    A list:
    Ricotta Cheese Cookies
    Raspberry Bars
    Red Velvet Cupcakes
    Honey Nut Cake Bar
    Gooey Bars
    Sweet Potato Meringue Pie
    Berry Cheesecake
    Triple Chocolate Mousse
    Peach Cobbler
    Chocolate Creme Brulee
    Almond Tres Leche Cake
    Molasses Cake

    no reason to restrict yourself completely. Great job only having 1/4 of it! I had a deliciously wonderful caramel bar of some kind that someone brought in for birthdays today. It was wonderful, but will not ruin the rest of my day.

    Admit that you want the cupcake, but look at it rationally. Is it worth skipping all the yummy calories you can have later today if you abstain now? Are you the kind of person who could take one, but only eat half and save the rest for tomorrow?

    Look at every bite as a decision. Is it worth it? Sometimes it is, but often it just isn't.

    There is an Angel Food cake with either cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting in the break room and I have to walk by it every time I go to the restroom. Which is a lot given the amount of water I have been drinking. So far I have resisted. I am about to make another trip and hopefully there won't be any left.

    I'm of the thought that if you deprive yourself you will binge later. I'm glad you ate a little. Now I want a cupcake...Thanks :wink:

    Someone beat me to it! I was going to say that someone probably sneezed on them.

    Was it as tasty as it sounds? You know someone else was hoping they could just take half or a quarter but was to chicken to cut it. You did them a favor!

    you can have one. or go cut one in half. thats a nice way of treating yourself, but also giving yourself a limit.
