I'm 2 months and a week....

ITS MY BIRTHDAY is it so bad that I'm really really really considering to have some cake ?!?!

If you think about it, I'm going to feel full by the 5th spoonful... How bad can 5 spoons of cake be on my bday ??? I really want a bit of bday cake

Thanks!

I'm going to be the bad guy. Don't eat cake. Do something nice for yourself instead. You'll feel better and be proud of yourself. What better gift than the gift of health? Go get a massage or a pedicure' date=' go to a great chick flick, just do something cool and awesome for yourself that doesn't involve food. You can do it, just be strong and don't listen to the enablers. This is a new life, don't fall back into old behaviors. Cake sucks, don't do it. Celebrations do NOT need to be about food. Let us know what happens, I believe in you and that you can do the right thing for yourself. Happy birthday to the new you![/quote']

Bad guy? No not to me...

I remember my first birthday after the sleeve.

It made me sad... But what made me sad is the first thing I thought about was the damn cake!

Why do we have equate celebrations with food?

It is so ingrained in us.

Should we have cake? I don't know I can't predict what is best for each individual. But for me? I'm trying to change some patterns..

so I try not to think about food as part of the event or celebration.

My youngest bday was Friday. We get these designer cupcakes. I had 1/2one without the frosting. I got carrot cake for me. I am glad I had it. Was the first cake like thing I had had since my surgery in May. If you want it take a little but know you have control to stop.

My family & I will get together soon for my BD......I was figuring on one bite of cake

Have some cake birthday lady I enjoyed a small sliver at my sisters bday party last weekend. The difference...the cake ended up coming home with us, and I didn't even consider or want another piece. My husband and son polished off the rest. It was even my favorite type of cake! (yellow with chocolate frosting)

Happy Birthday!

That sliver of cake sounds huge! lol

That sliver of cake sounds huge! lol
