Try having a very thin sliver of cake if you must. Focus on the celebration and eat just a bite or two. Any more would constitute a deliberate desire for cake and not the family experience. Even that small amount at this point in time could cause you to have cravings. Whether or not you can cope with them is up to you. Just remember, what you are doing for your family by losing weight and getting healthier is much more important, and long lasting to them, than eating something. What will they remember ten years from now? A piece of cake shared? Or a thin mom?
