My boss just came up and put a slice of cake on my desk as it is his birthday and he is sharing a cake his sister brought it. He didn't even ask! I didn't want to refuse so I just took a couple of bites and wrapped it up when he wasn't looking. I hid it in my lunch box and I will give it to my hubby later! I have an empty plate that looks like I ate it. I'm sneaky...like a cake ninja.
I can't believe I resisted the cake! Talk about resisting temptation.
Do you calculate the couple of bites, if so what do you calculate it as? Not knowing would drive me nuts all day.
Did you savour it? :D
I'm going to live vicariously through you. mwhahaha!
Great job resisting and staying strong! I wouldn't stress over a couple of bites, I understand counting calories but it's ok to live a tad. 100 cals one way or another on one day isn't going to affect you.
You should be concentrating giving yourself congratulations and burning calories patting yourself on the back then worrying about a few bits of cake. ;-)
Oh I wasn't worrying or stressing at all! I was just proud of my resistance! Of my cake ninja-ness! Buahahaha...
I'm aware that the 100 won't affect me. It's about the nutritional content of the food, not the calories really. I don't like eating too much sugar and processed stuff.
Okay..work is boring today...

Good point, very very true.
That was slightly rude of your boss. What if you had some kind of food allergy that he didn't know about? Here at the office we just leave food out in the mail room/copy room so people can take what they want. (I'm both dreading and anticipating the day after Halloween. Might have to just not check my office mail at all on Nov. 1)
Cake ninja! Cool! 
"everybody was kung fu fighting!!..." oh, sorry, got the cake ninja thing in my head!! i am so proud of you! it is really hard to stay in the mindset especially when everyone around you is knowingly or unknowingly trying to sabatage you! (i actually had someone at a previous job try to pressure me so hard about eating a stinkin piece of cake that i had to get rude about it...not rude really, just very insistant that i was not going to eat it) i have been off refined sugar for about 2 years now... and started a new job about a year ago...right at christmas!! i work at a drs office so ALL the drug reps and patients and other offices that we refer patients to would bring in junk!! it took my co workers about 3 or 4 months to realize that i wasn't going to partake in the goodies by saying things like, no thank you or i really appreciate you thinking of me, but i really don't want any of (fill in the blank) and if they get on you about "DIETING" (arg how i detest that word) then you can simply state, no, not dieting just watching my sugar or cholesterol or whatever thing fits in that spot...people will totally leave you alone about the pressure of over eating or unhealthy eating if they think you are doing it for medical reasons...oh, an allergy works really well too!!! ("no thank you, i am allergic to sugar, when i eat it i get all broken out in fat"!!! hehe...little levity works to...) and i am not saying to fib...you ARE watching your health, but if they are being persistant then you can throw those things in...
...now if they brought in nuts or fruit i was all over that!! hehe...but not the other stuff...BUT when patients would bring in goodies and then when they are leaving the office ask how they were , etc, i would tell them it was delicious or that i was going to take it home since i had just eaten, etc...and they were happy about that...i would never want to hurt their feelings but i also wasnt going to give in because of that either...it is really hard sometimes...and i have to "white knuckle" it some days...but those are the days that i just stay away from the kitchen at work and try to keep really focused on what i am doing...oh, and i would/will live vicariously through my co workers, too...they would eat it and when i ask how it was, i really want to know...that way i can make a conscience decision if i want to deal with the sugar reaction that i get (if it would be worth it) and eat it...but don't tell me..."oh, it really isnt good" or "you wouldn't like it"...please, if i ask tell me!!!
also, a good way to think is that "it isn't mine"...the treats that is...or that if i was a diabetic, i wouldn't be able to eat it...it is just really hard sometimes..and that fact that you took a couple of bites and then stopped!!! WOW that is just awesome!!! i could NEVER do that...i am an ALL OR NOTHING so you get extra ninja points from me for that!!!!! HY-YAHHHH!!!
sorry for the ramble...i guess i am just putting off going riding (cycling) so early...it is really cold outside this morning!!
be well!
