[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the grocery store last night and thought about buying myself a single slice of chocolate cake as a treat. I looked at all the different cakes for about 15 minutes and ultimately left without cake.

Last night I ate a bunch of fruit instead that wasn’t really satisfying. And today I really want chocolate cake. I wish I had just listened to my body yesterday and eaten the one slice of cake.

I’ve lost a hundred pounds in the past two years and now have a bmi on the high end of the normal range. I haven’t had cake in a month and sometimes should just eat some cake. [/quote]

Following up on this, I went back to the store yesterday and got myself a slice of the cake I wanted, and ate it after dinner that night.  Now I'm happy.  The End.

OP, if you are trying to lose but find yourself eating cake every day, or a few times a week, that's clearly a problem getting in the way of you losing.  If it helps, I have one cheat day/week, when I allow myself a limited amount of indulgences (burger, chips, dessert, etc).  I've seen how much I gain from this and overall I'm fine with it when my other 6 days are more restrictive -- I still kept losing, and psychologically it was helpful to know something was coming.  So that helped me in a way with my willpower for the rest of the week, which I did need to maintain in order to come out with a net gain at the end of a week.

Good luck![/quote]
