I Asked For The Fruit!

A few weeks ago we were at a big, special birthday party.  I ate a very low carbohydrate meal, like a good girl.  Then they brought out the dessert.  As you can see, I requested the fruit.  Yes, there was fruit on my piece of cake, a half a fresh fig and some grapes.

Sometimes it's better to compromise than obsess; that's as long as it's done infrequently.  Also, if the cake (or other off-diet treat) doesn't taste truly good, stop eating it.  Quite often they look better than they taste, but not trying and thinking about it is worse, because then there's a chance of gorging and losing control.
