Congratulations and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Arctic_Mama · 12-12-2012, 09:43 PM

Great job Cindy! Doesn't it feel good to be the one in control of the food, not the food in control of you? I'm always so proud of myself when I abstain from something I don't really want badly enough to plan in - I've never regretted NOT eating a food, but I can't say the converse is true

Trigger828 · 12-13-2012, 02:42 AM

to your DD

congrats to you. cake doesn't make or break a birthday!! good for you!!

vanillayo · 12-13-2012, 04:51 AM

Good for you and by the way you don't look old enough to have a 21 yr old!

i never had birthday cake on my birthday either. that is because, after my 12th birthday, (earth)mom was not going to make them anymore, probably because she felt i was getting too fat. (i was!) at the ripe old age of 21, you are exhibiting great character.

Awwww why thank you...I will be 46 in April

sfmom · 12-13-2012, 12:43 PM

Great job saying no to the birthday cake!!! I agree you certainly don't look like you would have a 21 year old child

ladyinlove56 · 12-13-2012, 05:18 PM

Good job Cindy...I know you felt good....keep it up..

Adoug4ho · 12-13-2012, 06:38 PM

Arctic Mama, you're so right! I turned down Trader Joes sea salt brownies. Looked amazing, but didn't appeal enough to me to make it worth breaking plan. So NOT regretting not having one

lynnport · 12-13-2012, 09:39 PM

I totally get it.. I work at an elementary school and we've had goodies all week. Thank goodness for my almonds and cheese sticks in the fridge.

NH_Free · 12-14-2012, 03:18 PM

I think that feeling of control when you resist some off-plan food is actually addictive! The more I do it, the more I look forward to doing it again. It was especially fun when my control freak MIL used to get visibly angry that I wouldn't eat some sugary garbage she made.

theLossgirl · 12-14-2012, 06:40 PM

I did not do so well. I made a cake today for my 9 year old step daughter's birthday. I had a small piece.

It was delicious, though!
