So my co-worker brought in coffee cake from the Corner Bakery today and I thought "eh i've been good all week maybe i'll have a little slice." so I decided out of curiuosity to look up the calories first.

770 CALORIES IN 1/14TH OF THE STUPID CAKE!!!!!!! :noway:

Crazy business. I'm soooo glad I looked that up before I ate some because I would have been so upset with myself.

Here's to a good day for all!!! :heart:

    so tempting...smart looking it up first-I always eat it and then panic when I see the calories, but I'm slowly learning not to do that. Have a good day.:wink:

    Great Job! I think our best tool for losing weight is acknowledging what and how much we are eating. Coffee cake is good, but definitely not good enough to spend half a days calories on! Cheers to you and I hope I can have the same will power today:)

    Great job! That is exactly where I'm trying to get. I want to habitually check out the nutrion data before I open my mouth. The disappointment of finding out how much I consumed after it's in there is too great and not a fair trade off.

    Thanks for the encouragement!

    Woah! That's crazy! It kind of makes it loose it's appeal once you find out how bad it is for you. Good job!

    Great job! I've been dodging bullets alot lately after looking stuff up on MFP. I never realzied just how many calories were in things such as your coffee cake. It's amazing something so small has that many calories! Way to avoid it!

    A co-worker brought in Banana Rum Cake today. She is a professional baker as a 2nd job (weddings, parties, etc.) and her baked goods are simply TO DIE FOR. But I'm avoiding her corridor like the plaque today, or I will HAVE to have some.

    Thanks for sharing so I know I'm not alone here...

    I know....my soon to be sister in law bought these Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese biscuits and I was going to eat one this AM, but looked at the nutrition facts first. 440 calories in that little bitty sandwich!! :noway: :noway: Needless to say I didn't eat it....having a tablespoon of peanut butter on a piece of whole wheat toast instead. Some foods are SO not worth the calories that are in them!!
