What should I do?
-
There are 3 peices of Iced Madeira Cake (with chocolate bits on top) in the fridge, I can have one if I want. BUT I promised myself that today was going to be a NO CAKE DAY (obviously that was before I knew about the free cake). :rolleyes: So do I eat the cake and break my promise or abstain and feel like a saint? :confused: The Lounge: I need your decision! :-D

You can always have a muffin if you like.

Take one to eat tomorrow, then you can do both.
Now that is clever ... but it will require will power ... so there may be a small problem! Eeek!

its fine as its NO CAKE DAY not NO FREE CAKE DAY any comparison would come back as they are not equal
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

Fridays cannot be No Cake Days. It is an unwritten rule. Monday - Thursdays, yes. But Fridays, No! Take the cake.

That was my big mistake! I should have remembered:
Friday != NO_CAKE_DAY

Abstain: if you give in once you'll do it again. If you don't have it, it'll be much easier to turn it down next time.

Use the same counting method as I would when I go out to the pub. The only slices of cake, or in my case beers, that you have to count are the ones you buy. You see, if it's free then it has no value and so it can't 'really' exist. There is no cake.

I'm sure you'll remember next time. Lucky there are friends around to remind you of these most important facts of life.

Bend the rules of your mind. Its Friday. Eat you Cake. You still maintain Ethics by not eating other 2 cakes :) Walk a mile today and enjoy it.

What a silly idea. :laugh: Mrs Wife has a cup with "I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter!" written on it.

As someone who is on a diet (I am eating 1/2 portions and it works great). My suggestion would be to eat half a piece slowly - that way you can enjoy the taste and not feel guilty. Alternatively get someone to upset you, make sure you have lots of mascara running down your face, then stuff all three pieces in your mouth as quickly as you can making sure you get lots of chocolate everywhere :laugh:
