    As an adult you should realize that eating a cake any time you want is unhealthy and should have the self control to delay that gratification. Sure noone can stop you, but you should have the self respect to stop yourself.

      Today is the day. I have delayed gratification for over 40 years and today is the day I eat a whole damn cake.

        You know I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a whole cake, and at this point I think I would regret it before I was even half finished lol, but if you’ve got the mettle good speed to you 🙇

        No. Calories in, calories out. No one can break the laws of physics.

            They do affect everyone the same in the sense that all people will gain weight at the same rate. But the weight distribution in the body will be different.

              This is actually false again. I’ve always had a massive sweet tooth, especially for baked goods, but still stayed skinnier than my friends. Some people really can just put it away.

                No, it’s not. You’re just unaware of how much calories you actually consume and what your expenditure is.
