I have 3 girls, ages 8, 7 and 4. It seems that we are always getting invited to a kiddie birthday party, or are having one ourselves!!

Whenever I am able to abstain from the cake and the pizza, I always feel so deprived. Usually I hold out during the party, but then soon thereafter I also usually delve into some kind of binge either later or the next day and seem to sabotage myself anyway.

Tonight I am making a birthday dinner for my father. The menu is fish tacos and I can easily stay away from the tortilla and the rice and beans.

My problem will be the chocolate cake. I am already thinking about it and wanting to have a piece of cake.

I am in my second week of a semi induction by the way, I've been very clean except for 90% dark chocolate - a few squares at night, and two small sugar filled candies that I couldn't seem to help. My resistance is fairly strong, but I know I will be faced with everyone eating the chocolate cake but me and that makes me feel upset.
