if you are out of induction, and feel you have will power, then take only 2 forkfuls/spoonfuls of cake. try to avoid
the icing part.

this way you feel as if you "participated", but at the
same time you did not overdo it.

of course, if you think you will devour any cake given
to you, then this is bad advice. We have to face
these occasions for the rest of our lives and there will
be moments of a bite or two. when it becomes a few pieces and then the next day some more and some more
that is an issue.

now that I am pretty much at goal, I dont fret if I steal
a few pieces of pasta from the kids, or grab a bite of
something here or there BUT i dont binge.
