Birthday cake calling my name..
Well, today is my son's 10th birthday. I can't believe it, only feels like yesterday he was born... don't get me started, it makes me sad to think about it. We aren't doing much, I just took off of work and we are going to hang out together today, but the husband had to work. We are going to take him to the beach this weekend for his birthday though.
Just a few odds and ends to do today, but one of them is to pick up the 10 LAYERED CHOC. CAKE, which just happens to be my favorite in the world. Question is... can I resist the urge to eat the whole thing? What is it in our minds that flips that switch as to where, we have to have it. Oh don't worry, i am gonna treat myself and have a piece. I just don't want the chocolate monster in me to take over and swallow the whole thing!!!
Maybe it will not be so bad, I know in the back of my mind, that if I eat alot of it my stomach will pay me back later, then I will send some home with everybody. Yep that's what I will do.
Anyways, I did my walking and weights this morning, so I feel pretty good. I hope you all are doing well, and having a great week.
Lots of love,
Kami

Treats
It is good to have a treat every so often to keep yourself from going over the edge. Enjoy! I have been treating myself way too much lately so I am avoiding the chocolate chip and white chocolate chunk cookies in the break room.
Yes, I do hate that people don't consider other people's dietary concerns when they plan events like that. Junk food is just cheaper and easier so that is what everybody goes for. I was grateful that at least they had the salad. My DH has been very supportive and he even tried to talk me out of Dairy Queen on Sunday but we were just both really craving Mexican last night.

I know how you feel
I know exactly how you feel!! I met my step-sisters when they were 9 and 10....now they're 18 and 19!! The 18yo is starting college in September...I don't know where the time went! As for the cake...your idea is perfect. Just keep pushing the cake on the guests and the rest just tell yourself that it's only for your son. One piece isn't that bad..just up your activity for the day and you'll be fine.

Definitely give it away
It's awful when that monster creeps out - well it kind of jumps out and takes over.
Many happy returns to your son for his birthday 
Time does fly by.
Have a great day.
