I was raised poor so even now that I can afford it, I feel something forbidding me from buying cake. That and knowing that I gain weight very easily and it takes me lots of hours to get raid of it.
Regular grocery store cake is usually not worth it anyway. You’re much better off making your own, or at least your wallet and taste buds are better off, even if your blood sugar is not
Where I live cake isn't that expensive to make, or to buy, as long as it doesn't have some elaborate decorations on it. But any excuse to not eat it is probably the healthier choice.
yeah every time I eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's, it takes a literal month to burn it off. The last time I had Ben and Jerry's was probably 2021. I've learned that hard lesson so many times. I figure it's easier to NOT eat something than it is to run a literal marathon to burn it off.
