I really want to bake some cupcakes. I just really fancy cake. 😂
I have all the ingredients but am meant to be on a diet and am working towards a time sensitive goal.

Do I make the cakes or not?

YABU: don’t make the cakes. Wait 3 months till your time sensitive goal
YANBU: Life is too short, make the cakes!

What's your will power like? Could you make, eat one and give the rest away?

shellyleppard · 28/10/2024 18:16

Make the cakes, eat two maybe and freeze or give away the rest?? My address is .....🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bake them, have one, freeze the rest. Take one out a day or every other day, that way you will only have a little treat and not eat 4 before thinking of shit I've done it again.

Don’t do it!! Frozen cake is delicious! Make a fruit skewer (with chocolate sauce if you must) and wait for the cake. The time will come ☺️

Don't do it OP. You will only feel crap afterwards & beat yourself up

I've lost 31lbs since February & I find that if I can distract myself at all the craving passes.

Then you will feel wonderful & it solidifies your willpower.

Imagine how good you'll feel in 3 months time at your event looking & feeling your best.

Do you work in an office? I bake then take 80% into work when I'm on a health kick.

Don't. It's taken me sooooo long to realise I always feel worse after 'cheating'; planned days are great. Random off piste, not great.

Sounds like a tough decision! Maybe you can make a small batch to satisfy the craving without going overboard, or save it as a reward for hitting a milestone in your goal.
