Birthday cake alternatives for the big 4-0 ??
So Thursday I turn the BIG 4-0 ... birthday cake has always been my weekness . I've always had a piece when I was banded for the 6.5 years I had that... then after my revision last year I was able to pass on it due to my rny and wanting to not to get sick, wanting to get to goal, being fresh out of surgery, things were easy to stick to small amount of meat and hardly and hunger . I've still got 14 lbs to get to goal , hunger has returned in a big way, I am worried I may be weak when faced with a beautiful birthday cake with my name on it lol. I'm sort of joking , but I am curious if anyone has any low carb alternative for birthday cake? My only go to dessert has been sugar free pudding ...or triple zero yogurt but was wanting to have Maybe something cakey on hand ..... for my moment of weekness

So I turn 40 this week too (high-five!). I don't have low carb options to offer, but did eat a cupcake today, part of my birthday weekend festivities. I feel no guilt (or illness).
Ive asked my family not to buy me a cake, too much temptation. I've been on a 'no candy till my birthday limitation since Easter, so I've asked them to give me a piece of candy- that I will enjoy, guilt free.
Happy Birthday!
