Mmmmm Cake

[amy0121]

TODAY MY FAMILY TRIED TO KILL ME
MY MOM MADE HER FAMOUS HOMEMADE CAKE AND FROSTING
WHICH I HAVEN'T HAD IN LIKE A YEAR
IT'S MY BROTHERS BIRTHDAY
OH YEAH AND THEY HAD ICE CREAM
THEN THEY PROCEDED TO BUY EVERY KIND OF FOOD I CAN'T EAT
THE WORST THEY LEFT ME ALONE WITH THE CAKE FOR AN HOUR
IT WAS SAD
I WANTED TO CRY, I THINK I DID
WHY IS FOOD DO FLIPPIN HARD TO AVOID
THEN MY MOM SAVED ME FROM A BIG MISTAKE
THE FOODS STILL THERE, I WAS A GOOD GIRL, BUT IT FEELS LIKE TORTURE

HArd isnt it? Well done for not scoffing the cake!

When there are birthdays I always bring something atkins friendly. THere are many great ( and yummy) atkins friendly cake recipes and cheesecake recipes ( some induction friendly too!) I always make sure i bring those along for my brother ( he is on Atkins too) and myself so we dont feel left out. Actually the non-atkineers tend to love my atkins cakes too!

Terrific Amy for resisting the torture! Guess what... it gets easier as you go along, I promise!
Being prepared with stuff you can eat is definitely the way to go.

Congrats again!

That's nuts.
I went home last weekend and my mom had made some yummy food, but it wasn't atkins friendly. Luckily, my family is very supportive of me losing weight and they're healthy eaters so there's nearly always something I can eat. Even if it's just a snack.
Hang in there. If you're family doesn't have snacks/food available to you just take your own food. Sometimes my family has ordered pizza on a Friday b/c Saturday is grocery day, so there's nothing to eat. I stop by the grocery store before I get to their house.

Congrats on not giving in!! i have a birthday party on sat and i asked what food there is, i have being told that there is lots of chicken and cocktail sausages so i don't feel too bad now!!

BUT GO U!! i don't think i would have the power to say no to my ma's food!

My son's Birthday was yesterday so I know how you feel. It does get hard at times but I promise it does get better! I felt like a much stronger person by saying no to all that.
