    I have done that before. Its great before and during the cake consumption, but afterwards the regret sets in when your bloated stomach tries to digest the consequences of your actions

    As somebody who used to weigh over 350 pounds, you need to be the thing that stops you. I promise, losing the weight is harder than just not buying that cake in the first place.

      It’s a cruel joke that life is too short not to enjoy these things, but by enjoying them, you make your life shorter.

    As a “European” I never forget that I can just walk around the corner to buy cake because I don’t live in a suburban hellhole where I need a car to get food

      I mean, unless it’s decorated, cakes are fairly cheap (especially if you compare it to other foods by calories per dollar)

      I’d say the biggest thing stopping most people from doing this regularly is a desire to not get type 2 diabetes lol

        Eating sugar doesn’t give anyone T2 diabetes. It’s largely a hereditary metabolic disease.

          You’re definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it…

          But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.

            Unhealthy food choices in general can help cause obesity which increases one’s risk, as does age; still largely hereditary. How do I know? My maternal grandmother was type 1 diabetic, my mother was T2, myself and all three of my siblings are T2. It’s part of the counseling after your diagnosis. It’s probably better to listen to health care professionals instead of folks on the internet.

    Wait until they figure out they can buy the cake mixes, and it’s possible to make your own cakes, with as much extra stuff as you want. I once made a cake with embedded cookies, and a peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I regret nothing.

      Cafés are literally one of the only things open on Sundays here, and they sell cake.

        And many bakeries also are open for some hours on a Sunday. And the shops at a train station.

          I guess I associate it with weird old religious laws in the US that have been slowly, but not fully phased out over the years.

          Lots of places here can’t sell alcohol on Sundays before a certain time still.
