Before I went on my no sugar eating that I am on now, I have eaten full sized entire layer cakes on a weekend. Half a cake on Sat and the other half on Sun. Tippins layer cakes are out of this world. I used to buy the yorkie dogs (can get those at Walmart bakery). They are two cupcakes loaded with enough frosting to shape it into a fluffy yorkie dog. I have baked a dozen chocolate chip cookies only to eat the entire batch and have to make a dozen more. Been there done that!
I used to do that when I hiked, walked, and rode my bike often. I used to do a lot of yard work, too.
It still doesn't cause me to gain weight, but my shape has changed.
Because it had no nutritional value whatsoever...or you know you have a few extra pounds to lose...or you simply overindulged...or you claim to be a vegetarian, but you secretly eat meat! I’m sure you can think of something.
I did this. I was vegetarian for a year, then I introduced some fish back in for reasons of convenience. I didn't eat fish every day, but once a week or so, usually because they would have a choice of salmon at the business dinners I attend. I work for Muslims, so they would always ask for a fish or vegetarian entree if meat was being served because they are restricted to halal, so it worked out for all of us.
Then a couple of months ago, I went to a business dinner where they were placing down slices of medium rare beef before us on plates. This would be the time to request an alternate meal, but I looked at it and made a silent thanks to the life of the cow and I ate it. I felt mildly guilty, but I really, really wanted at that moment to eat that meat.
The next day, I was doing things around my house and I realized that I felt exceptionally good. It took most of the day reflecting here and there on how well I felt, when I had no sense of NOT feeling well previously, when it hit me that I'd started feeling good the night before after my dinner.
I don't know if I was low on something that my body was craving or what, but I wanted that meat and I felt better after I ate it. I plan to continue to focus on eating mostly vegetarian, but I've had some meat here and there since. Since I was not eating meat because of the way animals are treated in the meat-production industry, I have some guilt when I do. I try at least to be cognizant of where my meal came from.

Thanks for sharing! I am not vegetarian and I think it would be extremely difficult for me to give up meat. When I was a kid, I attended a religious school that encouraged vegetarianism, but the brainwashing was not successful with me.
I don't feel guilty about anything I eat. Yes I need to lose weight but I'll worry about that when I'm well enough to resume my normally active lifestyle. OMG there was these most amazing home made treats at therapy yesterday. I hope there are still some left this afternoon when I go back. Food is fun and that's all the fun I get until I'm better again.
I bought a smallish, single layer, round chocolate cake with buttercream frosting from the grocery store on Monday. It’s the kind of cake that you buy to celebrate something. It had pretty roses on it. Anyway, it wasn’t my birthday but I bought it anyway and I finished it off this morning. I ate the whole thing by myself since I live alone. I often do this with pie and don’t feel terribly bad about it, but cake makes me feel especially guilty.
So what have you all indulged in lately that you probably shouldn’t have? Let it out and release the guilt!
Not a thing. I eat what I eat with no time nor emotional energy wasted in hand-wringing.
