What's your take on it while in the losing phase?

I do it.

How far out are you? Do you work out? Is your weight loss ok?

I want to be strong right now but there's hot fudge cake in the other room. It smells divine. I used to eat this when I was little and haven't had it in years.

I think of I do it ill exercise tomorrow even tho its supposed to be my day off. Maybe. But is it worth it? I like my day off. Man. Delimma.

Ok. I had a piece. A small one and it was delicious and now I'm over it.

I eat dessert a very small one, once or twice a week. It makes it so I'm not craving it, I also like trying some healthier dessert options. Yesterday I had banana with cinnamon and a bit of honey on it. It was so yummy

having a little dessert every so often isn't going to hurt you. It can help in a way, by keeping the cravings for it at bay. i do'nt worry about little splurges every no and then, i'm human, sometimes i really really really want pizza. So i have 1 small slice, and i'm satisfied, don't need anymore, want it, sure, but i can push that aside easy.

I am not quite 6 months, I have lost 78 pounds so far, I do not exercise (I know I should...), and I do indulge in a treat or two every now and again. I don't make it a habit, but I don't deny myself if I have a craving. I figure that this change has to be forever, and I'm not going to deny myself treats forever, so I need to learn to eat sensibly so I can maintain a healthy life style. For me, that includes the occasional treat.

I agree. I felt happy after eating the chocolate cake. Not because I had a sugar high (I didn't) but because you know what? I had A PIECE. not 6 pieces over the course of the day. One. That's it. I can now eat a small piece if dessert like a normal person ven though my head wanted more. That feels amazing!

I also worked out an hour afterwards.

Cake=168 calories

Exercise burned 218.

Boom!

Now, I don't plan on doing this daily. But I felt in control. And coming from a sugar addict about cake, that's something!
