There's two birthdays at work today. Its supposed to be my no junk food day. I need will power to not eat cake!

at the risk of being a bad influence, a little small piece wouldn't hurt anything

^ You're horrible.
I'm trying to avoid junk food too. My weakness is more for things like greasy chinese food and coconut milk drenched thai food, etc. Not so much the sweets, but just as bad for you really. I find the biggest issue to be portion sizes. Whether it be meal sizes at restaurants or the size of slice people insist on cutting for you at a party, they are just too big. And I feel obligated not to waste my food. I wish I could order child size portions, but a lot of places won't let you if you're over 12. Before anyone makes anorexia accusations remember that I am the hieght of a 10 year old... and I have a lower metabolism as an adult. So I should be eating child sized portions.

Agree, a small reward every now and then is soothing to the soul    It's really about portion control. I'm not going to ruin myself out of obligation to anyone or anything.

[Mandy]

Yeah I managed to have only a small piece. About a half cup size. Portion control is hard!

^especially when you're the only one in the entire room applying it.

I guess I'm lucky that I can eat whatever I want and not get all fat and bad--within reason, of course.

My weakness is for the salt and savory categories. I can tear through a bag of pretzels, chips, peanuts--you name it--with ease and I love things like olives, shrimp, lobster, etc. as well as good rich cheeses.

I'm off to 7-11....

I can put an entire sausage in my mouth.

I can put an entire sausage in my mouth.

oooh you must be a very popular young fellow!

[Itsy Bitsy]

I would never have a whole sausage in one sitting.
