My friend wants me to eat cake

You can always just "get full" from dinner and just eat a little piece to try it.
You can also work out a little harder to earn a bigger piece.

Or she could say no politely instead of going through all this crap. She doesn't want it, stop it.

If she doesn't want it, she should just say that and not give an excuse about dieting because that just opens it up for discussion and cajoling.

In your situation, here is what I might do.
Eat the cake, because I want to - not to make a friend feel better.
And afterward?
Take an hour walk with some head phones.
End of story :drinker:

well i have no time to work out today so i cant fit it into my calories and to be honest i dont want to eat it .. im happy with my greek yoghurt . I just dont like the fact that i almost feel like i should eat it to make her feel better ....

don't eat the cake and don't feel guilty about it. As individuals, we must make decisions for ourselves. Sure, don't hurt others intentionally....but don't hurt yourself either.

A friend will understand that eating cake is not healthy for you. Putting your health first is difficult at times but doing so helps us reach our goals. I have learned a bite of something usually solves the problem.

Best to you in your journey.

if you want it, eat it.
if you dont, dont.

for ME, elimination from my diet is the road to failure.
if i want cake, i will have cake (and eat it too). i will then account for that in the coming days, or prepare for it beforehand.

make a choice and own it.

Thank you ! my friend makes me feel guilty by saying oh maybe i shouldnt have a piece then if your not having one .

I dont want to eat it. I just shouldnt be made to feel guilty about my lifestyle choice.

You can't take responsibility for other peoples' decisions and actions, and you don't need to take responsibility for their feelings either as long as you didn't do something harmful to them.

Dogs shouldn't eat human food, it's horrible for their digestive systems.

But... humans eat meat... dogs eat meat...

Surely you don't suggest your blanket statement should cover every canine nutritional base!

Jeez. Really? Use some common sense and/or don't be a d*ck.

Dont eat the cake, dont feel guilty. Im sure it will get eaten by somebody, it doesnt have to be you

1) Do you WANT to eat cake? It's your decision not hers...

--If you DO NOT want to eat cake...
say "no thank you" you shouldn't really have to defend your choices.
(but some people really do pressure you into it... So I sometimes back pocket a few reasons why I can't indulge unrelated to dieting. Your dieting often makes others feel guilty that they are not. if they can pressure you into being "bad" they feel better. So just take that out of the equation.)

--If you DO want to eat cake...
budget for it with your diet and exercise calories.
(bank some calories OVER A COUPLE OF DAYS before and/or after the event... If your like me and do it all in one fell swoop you'll probably be hungry and cranky and that puts you at greater risk for falling off the wagon.)

2) Is cake a TRIGGER FOOD for you.
There are some foods that can have a little of and move on and then there are some foods that I can't stop until it's gone.
When I was a fat kid, my Grandma used to say. "One won't hurt" After a while my answer to that was "One is worse than none!" I had recognized that one just made me want more.

REMEMBER:
We are here to live a better life, not to lead a life of constant deprivation (or constant indulgence) and part of living a better life (in my opinion) is enjoying time (and meals) with friends. Not stressing every breathing moment about food, but figuring out how to balance it all. (do you think I have enough parenthesis in the sentence?)
