Let me explain why I did this to myself.
I came in to work today to find a chocolate cake sitting in the lounge. The cake is the size of the coffee table and weighs about 15 pounds. I opened the door this morning and was like, "oh crap!". PLUS, I am all alone at work today and there was a note beside the cake that reads "If this cake is not finished by Friday, May 28th, please throw away".
I have never been one to waste cake - sooo....
I ate a piece! And not just a small piece - a big one:
I got about 1/2 way through the cake then decided just to eat the icing (my favourite part) and toss the rest. So, in all I had about half that piece and counted it as about 10 points (but this is a total guesstimate). Seriously, I know better than to do this to myself. It was just one moment of weakness with no one here to hold me accountable! Dammit!
Now I am sitting here at work with some seriously bad stomach pains and I can feel the bloating set in. I hope it all dissipates before the big party tonight. Guess I'm not going to be drinking as much wine as I initially planned to drink.
Here's where my twisted logic comes into play. After devouring the pile of chocolate icing, I decided to balance it out a bit. So now I am eating a tub of orange slices
and a plate of fruit.
I'm hoping this will make up for the cake... but I know it won't. Thank goodness the weekend it almost here! I need to get away from this cake! I am so disappointed in myself - I haven't given in to cake in 3 months!
What will I do now? I'm going to go for a power walk on my lunch hour.
Cake is evil. It just is. My son had a birthday last weekend and I had my 1st anniversay - that was 3 cakes in one weekend!!!!! I can't waste cake either. But yeah - eating fruit is waay better for ya, and it kinds does make up for it. kinda. :P Feel better, and just ignore cake. cake is evil.
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa don't punish yourself, it was only a peice of cake, not the entire fridge. Once and awhile it's alright to remind yourself what cake taste like. I think its awesome you didnt eat the whole slice!! Have awesome fun at your party :) Drink a glass of wine for me!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm cake. Been there, done that. Immidiate gratification is always fun, for a short time. We all have done this and it is always delicious. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, stay on plan, and don't let this hurt you anymore than just your stomach!
