Happy Birthday to me! I turned 45 yesterday. For the first time ever, I did not have birthday cake for my birthday. Honestly, I didn't even want it, which was HUGE for me! Usually it is all I can think about leading up to my birthday. I never cared about the rest of the meal, but the cake would be something I gave considerable thought to. One year, I even baked my favorite cake for myself, german chocolate with the coconut pecan frosting. No one else in my family really likes it, so I ended up eating practically a whole cake over the course of a few days. This time, I was so full on my tiny dinner that cake (even a bite) would not have been an option. For a moment, I missed the birthday tradition, but when I realized that I did not even have the slightest desire for cake, I knew I had cause to really celebrate! Food, particularly sweets, no longer have a strangle hold over me! Woo Hoo! 45 is going to be a great year!!

Congrats... And happy birthday, my birthday is Friday the 10th and I am and I will be 10 days post op. Not wanting that birthday cake is the best present I could ask for.

Happy Birthday and congratulations on your success so far!~ I can't wait until I no longer want birthday cake or any type of cake for that matter...

Happy birthday to you. I can't wait until the sugar and chocolate cloud leave my life. I hope it works like that for me also.
