There is cake in the house! HELP!


Quote  |  Reply

My dad and brother went to the bakery today. My brother loves anything unhealthy (and yet doesn't put on any weight). Anyway, they brought home this awesome cake: black forest with banana filling, topped with chocolate-coated banana pieces.
I just had a banana-grape salad and also this sweet banana/coconut bar (80 cal). So, if it was my sweet tooth, it should ave been satisfied by now. But the cake keeps calling!!!
It's becoming reeeeeeeeeally hard to ignore this delicious piece of heaven sitting in the refrigerator. So, I come to you guys: HELP!

Quick go for a walk!

(Glad it's at your house not mine - that sounds REALLY good)

after your walk brush and floss your teeth and drink a bunch of water!

Tell your dad and brother to eat the cake already!!

I can totally relate!!!!  My wife is pregnant and there is a bunch of ice cream in the house.  Believe it or not, everytime i have a craving, I eat a sour, baby kosher dill pickle and for some reason it totally takes my mind and stomach off of sweets.  Call me crazy.  Then I drink a ton of water and get out of the room.

 

water! i should have done that before i went for the cheesecake at my house.
I have to make my friend a birthday cake tonight. Doesn't bother me. I don't have a sweet tooth. 

But if it was chips and salsa I would be munching instead of typing.

My suggestion is just learn how to control it! I know that it's hard ignoring cake or something that you really really like but you can't always just go for a walk whenever you are presented with a cake lol I have a big family which means we always have cakes, ice cream (which I absolutely LOVE), candies, chocolate etc. However, I have learned to control my impulse to just go and get a piece of cake or scoop of ice cream. I know that it's easier said than done but it's something that can definitely be done. I can now go to the kitchen look at a cake and not eat any even tho I really want a piece. If it doesn't fit into your daily calorie target then tell yourself that you don't need to eat any and just don't think about it. Hope it helps and best of luck to you =D

 

p.s. Remember that you are strong and you can do this!!!

Do you have neighbors that annoy you?  Take them the cake...  Then they'll be fat and you won't... HAHA!!!!   And it might help them be less annoying....

 LMAO!!! Too funny Tongue out

 

But now that I think about it... One of my neighbors gave us a cake a while back!!! But I didn't have any... HA take that evil neighbors Yell

find some gross pics on the internet... blood, gore, real gross... hurry

My brother just bought Ben & Jerry's.. Ugh! Luckily we had a low fat ice cream so I just had some of that.. I try to think about how I don't want to lose all the progress I've made!

lol, i read your post in the morning when it didnt have that many replies to it, and moved on with my life.

 

then my mom came home from work with this ultra-delicious marble cake.

 

hahahaaa. i was thinkin of your post when I was glaring at the scrumptious cake. it was sitting there, scrutinizing me.. patronizing me.. tempting me.. ahhhhh! xD

 

so basically i looked up the calories and the serving size.. blehhh.. one slice is 200 calories!! so basically I cut the cake up in very very very very thin slices, so I estimate it to be 60 calories a slice now. ^___^ this way, i'll just tell myself I'm not allowed more than one slice a day.

 

g'luck!
