Oh dear Forum Friends - I have to tell you my horror tale from yesterday evening:

Had a busy day and was feeling particularly tired. Got home to teenage daughter making a huge chocolate cake! :wideyed: Consequently couldn't starting making dinner, so after a cup of tea decided to take the dog for a long walk. By the time I came back I was naturally even more tired and starving hungry. Went to make some scrambled eggs and discovered daughter had left big chunks of chocolate cake on a plate where she had sliced the top off the cake - you guessed it, I couldn't resist, I was too hungry and tired! However, I couldn't stop at just one little piece, it was soooo nice, I ended up shoving loads in and came back for more after I had eaten my eggs! :sour: Consequently I was WIDE awake at 4:30 this morning tossing and turning and dying of thirst and I am very grumpy this morning! :dead::shifty:

So the moral of the story is..... suggestions below please!

....you're human! Perhaps a little word to your daughter might be worthwhile (lead me not into temptation) - but this blip isn't an everyday thing, so don't beat yourself up.

Hope you're feeling okay this morning.

:)

When I make cakes, I use Natvia sugar substitute (there's one for baking - available on Amazon) & you only need half the amount of sugar that the recipe states. For choc cake, use cocoa powder or melted 80% choc. I have this as an occasional treat - don't beat yourself up for your lapse!

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
Forgive me father, for I have sinned!
Get back on track today to make up for it :) I don't know if I could ignore the cake either, it sounded wonderful!

...have the cake but don't eat it?:wacky:

or if you want the serious answer - get your teenage daughter to clean up after she has finished. I have twin 16 year old daughters - good luck with getting her to try that!:banghead:

Yes, now you mention it, the kitchen still looked like a chocolate bomb had hit it this morning! She is 13. :meh:

If your going to eat chocolate cake then make sure you get a whole slice at least then it will have been worth it. Other wise don't eat it at all.

Point good little baker daughter in the direction of our low carb recipes thread and Ewelina's blog, and then you can scoff guilt free chocolate cake happily ever after...:D

Is the moral of the story "when you get home don't have a cup of tea and take your dog for a walk because you will eat chocolate cake"?

Loved all of your replies to Brunneria. I appreciate that all of you that left comments of comfort for her also had your humour button fully pressed in! . . May the force be with you all.

Your daughter has taken away your control over your environment.
You need to explain to her that you are attempting never to give in to the temptation of eating get the wrong get food and leaving out chocolate cake undermines your resolve and is disrespectful.

If you manage to get that message across to a teenager let me know how u did it and I wil try the same technique on my daughter

Can I suggest that the moral of the story is: Never leave an unchained teenager unsupervised - they don't have your best interests at heart..... LOL ;)
