Does Delicious Cake Tempt You to Diet-Destruction?
When her 15 year old son celebrated his birthday, Laura of RARAwithLaura.com had a major diet crisis! Has this ever happened to you?
. . . . .
“My son’s 15th birthday was yesterday. He is at school, the hubby is at work and I am working from home. At 10:22 a.m today I started eating birthday cake. I forgot that it was there and when I opened the refrigerator it spoke to me saying things like ” you know you need me, want me and nobody is here except you”. “Just have a sliver and by the way leave the knife in here with me in case you want to sliver all day”. I am thinking about putting the cake out on the deck hence I bet that is how the song “McAurthur’s Park” [sic] came about! Someone left my cake out in the rain!!!! The best thing that could happen for my hips right about now is that my cake is left out in the rain and I can no longer consume it! I want to throw it out but my son will come home from school and ask where is my cake?
I am going to go to the prayer chair and pray for guidance and self control! Yes, you heard me right I am now praying about not eating all that cake!”

A note from the editor: Dieting can be a terrible bore. Even “Skinny Cow” deserts don’t cut it with me anymore. Best advice – enjoy the cake when you have it, just keep that single slice to a SINGLE slice. It’s all about portion control. So let go of the guilts and enjoy your dessert! ~ P. Mullaly
