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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yah, honestly to me “living your best life” might include not doing that to yourself so that you don’t suffer the consequences of obscene overconsumption.

The subject is open to constant interpretation.

A whole bag of Cheetos is still acceptable though. They put air where the calories are supposed to hide.

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.

For me gaining weight is harder than losing it. I can eat all of that for myself and didn't gain weight but still got the diabetes for myself

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

Sounds like communism to me

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do they have cake in communism?!

If I wasn't lazy I would be doomed.

Only thing stopping you is your bank account 😆

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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

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.

I watched a girl storm into a supermarket and grab some things.

I later saw her in the parking lot sitting in her pickup truck's bed and going down on a whole rotisserie chicken and a cake.

I think about her all the time.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure you can use "going down on" in that way, but still I feel like I have to meet this woman.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

You never deep throated a chicken leg, or licked between the layers of cake just to get to the frosting?

Look at this adult with a car. I bet you even claim to have impulse control too!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If I stopped buying cakes on a whim I might be able to afford a car.

As a diabetic I grapple with this often. Turns out can and should are very different things :( curse you pancreas. You too mom. Kids don't do drugs with a baby in the womb. Your kids will suffer.

And eat a whole supermarket rotisserie chicken on your car just after you bought it. Some call it depression, I call it freedom.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

But a very select few call it .... keto

There's nobody selling cake in my car. What have I done wrong?!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

You need to be driving a food truck

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately it's usually not available in the older models.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

LOL, just made a comment about watches and came here.

Mid-80's and mom was appalled at the notion of a $30 Swatch when a Timex could be had for $10. No Swatch. ☹

Woke up one Saturday morning, decided I was fucking 50-yo and I could buy a damned Swatch if I wanted to! Bought TWO!

Truly realizing you're an adult is quite freeing. :)

I wish I could... I can't drive, and I have celiac disease so bad that it has destroyed my gut so much, that even gluten free cakes make me sick.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

As an "adult" I always remember that this is bad for my health and I have to stop me. Luckily I'm too lazy to get in my car just to buy a cake.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Credit card declines

You're also free to get fat and die of a heart attack. It's like nobody cares.

Why would you need to buy a cake? Everything is a cake nowadays. Just stick your knife into something.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Wait. My walls. My doors. I've been a man living inside of cake this whole time. Unless...

Well you can, but the consequences of doing so are much worse in adulthood

Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once

Except you might not have a car.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

But maybe you live in a place where you could just walk.
