Possibly 3 or 4. After that, I would have gone to Tim Horton's and get
one or two of wonderful dougnuts. Then the water retention for a few
days. And then two bagles the next day... If I go ahead with a
dessert, I will be extremely selective and it will be on my own time
when I know I have the discipline to have only one piece, but a high-
quality one.

I'm very proud of you for being this honest with yourself and with us complete
strangers. It's unfortunately very easy to turn one piece of cake into a high-
carb binge lasting days, weeks or months. But, the other side is also true; I
know because I've been there. I've had that piece of cake, sometimes just a
bite, and continued on plan without backsliding. I just want you to know that
when and if you're ready, that option is always open to you if you think you
can handle it.

Thanks for your support, Orlando. Soon or late, I will try a piece of
these "foods of the devil". I'm going to my family in a few months.
They always have them. It's gonna be hard because I'm not the one who
will do the cooking. As much as possible, I will eat the food I know
will not hurt me. I expect people rising eyebrows on some of the
things I love to eat like banana with natural peanut butter.
Absolutely to avoid: Milk! It surely makes me overeat!
