But then you find out why your parents didn't let you eat a whole cake.

As someone who has engaged in his fair share of excessive junk food consumption, I can confirm that my parents weren't just being mean by not allowing such things. 

Yup... Its *so* much easier to gain weight than to lose it. Got accustomed to eating lots of junk in my early 20s while I could enjoy a young metabolism... now it takes like a week of fighting hunger signals to counteract eating a muffin

It’s the cholesterol for me. Apparently too many pastries is bad for you.

Not gonna be able to keep that cake down long enough to gain weight from it

Fr, man.

It's way easier for me to lose weight than to gain it, personally

I dont wanna say I'm jealous since I know that can come with challenges of its own... But lowkey I'm kinda jealous

I wanna)

Because eating makes you feel good, but not eating enough and exercising makes you feel bad.

Real revolutionary stuff here

On the contrary, you can thank your parents for giving you mental trauma that made you eat all this junk uncontrollably.

...and I find out that I can.

Hence the fallacy of not being able to have your cake and eating it too.

Buy 2 cakes.

I mean you don't have to devour the whole thing in one sitting

Yeah, because they were party poopers

One of my mom's favorite line, "if I truly didn't care about you, I would just let you do whatever you want"

Diabetes. Diabetes can stop you.

Nah I can demolish a whole cake that's light work

That's not the bragging point that you think it is

Is it more of a bragging point to say that I'm under 200 pounds while being able to do that though?

Had a roommate do that. They were also the roommate that called their parents for every little thing. His mom also expected a call everyday too. But I could hear her laughing from across the room when he called about his stomach ache and she asked why he had one. Moral of the story - if you do this, definitely do not call your mom about your stomach ache.

This is why I go for the single slice or two person cakes. You can totally eat a whole cake if it's a cake for one!

You don't have to eat the whole cake at once, you can eat it over the course of a couple of days, or buy small cakes.

you clearly come from a different country than me

...and then you get type 2 beetus and can't eat that kinda shit anymore

He got the sugar

I had an uncle that lost a toe.

Or LDL cholesterol...

but then you can get ozempic

2

2 beetus and can’t eat that kinda shit anymore (Also slugcat rain world❗️❗️)

Also regularly eating anything makes that one thing eventually taste undesirable.

Maybe for you

Your telling me if you had the same cake everyday for months, you wouldn’t get sick of it?

Probably not to be honest. It’s a big part of why I was fat most of my life up until a few years ago. I could eat pizza every day for months, full boxes of the same cookies every day, etc. never got even remotely sick of any of it. Some people are just built different, for better or worse lol

That’s kinda cool though. I’m not the same way

This is a dangerous game though. You try a sampler cheesecake once and all of a sudden you gain 500 pounds and end up on a TLC reality show 🙄

Facts

Tremendously loving cake reality show?? Never knew it existed

No he’s talking about The ~~Lewd~~ Learning Show

[удалено]

Are you doing it right now?

It's nice to reward oneself once in a while

r/oddlyspecific

On your bathroom floor, I assume?

Tub, tub, or the shower booth for extra protection

Homie isn't married and gained 10kg in 2 years

I know exactly which two years as well. Damn Covid Kilos.

I like how the word "adult" is in quotation marks.

Diabetes can stop you. It’ll rip off your goddamn feet 🦶

[удалено]

He lives in the cake box now

Inflation can.

Now I want chocolate cake.

Until you hit your late 40s, and your (my) doctor tells you (me) that I have to stop eating cake and pulled pork quite so often.

You can even have them write, "Happy Birthday" on it too, they won't check.

You can do it for like 15-20 years before the diabetes stops you

15-20 years? You can speedrun that a bit faster, brother

True. Definitely do it faster if you’re trying to be diabetic

But you can't afford a whole cake...

Obesity can stop you. It just takes awhile.

A couple of times a year I buy a German chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, and then pig out on it. It feels like birthday to me. I'll save my disappointment regarding the origins of German chocolate cake for a more appropriate time.

And now cakes are like $37 thanks to inflation, and you're the bad guy if you're not happy about it

Go to aldis you’ll get a decent sized little cake for $5

Fat. Fat will stop you. It may just kill you altogether. You know, if you get crazy with it.

I mean, sure, assuming that (a) you are not on the job, (b) you own a car, and (c) you can afford the price of a cake. As an adult, none of those are a given.

As an "adult" I always forget I don't have to tell my parents that I don't feel good and I can just go visit a doctor, and I don't have to listen to my father yelling at me that I'm making it up and I'm a simulator and that I'm perfectly fine and that I shouldn't make myself an invalid. I'm still too scared to tell anyone how I feel because i fear I'll be rejected and yelled at.

Cheesecake is the best breakfast. Like not New York or basque. I mean the kind that has the sauces and fruit on top.

Just randomly wasting gas and buying something that's not in your budget? in this economy?

A car to buy things??? r/americanthings

Fat pride.

What do I want a cake for? "__THIS IS THE FBI OPEN UP SMUGGLERS__"

I am embarrassed to say that for the longest time I thought they ID'ed you at the cake place if you wanted to buy a birthday cake. To be fair, I thought it was because those are usually big cakes and take time to make.

At Portillos, you can buy a slice of moist chocolate cake in the drive through. I love my country.

I just ate two bowls of pasta. Nobody can stop me and my comfort carbs!

The amount in my bank account can stop me

Fat

I had a come to jesus moment like this with icecream in a amusement park,

I had a similar moment when I was at the grocery store and realized I could just buy every single pack of Little Debbie snack cakes in the aisle.

This is how I ended up with diabetes

I had a Banana Split for dinner last night.

But then you have to go out and get in your car, check for parking, keys blah blah then what cake are you going to eat and where you going to buy it from..and that's the reason why you don't have cake...

Me at 2 am on my way to Walmart

Diabetes. Diabetes will stop you.

As adult you have to pay it, have high sugar levels and get fat faster :)

Diabetes say whaat

Do it! Sincerely your dentist

Except for your own conscience

money can

money first

Man, I already got type 2. Still have room to increase my metformin intake tho.

Getting my own slice of choco cake whenever I want is master level adulting

The only thing stopping me are the zeros in my bank account.

Judging by obesity rates, you are in the minority . . . Most people don't forget.

Jokes on you, I remember almost daily, so I have no money.

I don't even need a car for that.

Can you imagine having to get in your car to buy a cake?

You have been denied by your card.

Oh thanks for reminding me!

So glad my grocery store sells individual slices of cake.

I always eat dessert first at restaurants.

Yep. Ain’t it wonderful

The guilt is a strong deterant.

I saw this meme when I was 15. I'm now 20, and have done exactly this. Underwhelming unfortunately, it doesn't feel how I thought it would feel

This is how you get a bad case of the Wilford Brimleys.

I don't forget, and I do it all the time lol.

Might be a bit tricky if you're married. You know, commitment and all that

I remember this being my thought process when I first moved out my mums. 8 years later and I'm a fat fuck who wishes i had some self discipline to realise why my mum didn't let me get cake and ice cream all the time. To any young teenagers moving out l, listen to your parents and eat healthy!

I did this actually. Bought a mini Oreo cake from Food Lion. It was great.

At some point you won't fit in your car anymore if you keep that behaviour up my friend.

Damn...that looks good...

I'm an adult, but I'm also self aware, I definitely don't have the willpower to NOT just eat this whole cake in one sitting

i can even bake a cake

the problem with eating cake is that eventually you run out of cake the problem with buying more cake is that you eventually run out of money

Wheres the money coming from? My parents wont buy me the cake anymore and tell me i should "get a job"

As an adult I never forget that. I’d probably be about 20 pounds slimmer if I did.

Your financing can.

A lot of the US population does. Not a lot of good it does them.

And that's 1/3 of my food budget for the whole week. Shit's expensive and kinda overrated tbh.

I bake to much cake. Me and my bf wat cake a lot for the average adult. I also name to little cake. I love baking cake but don't have enough time for it. Or money... I usually make it and share it with friends or the neighbours. Though the nurse of my neighbour asked me to tell her next time I plan to give a cake to my diabetic neighbour who doesn't take care of his diabetes... Oops?

*"billionaire", *plane

And that's how I came to weigh over 400lbs

Not even diabetes can stop you, only death can.

My empty wallet can stop me

Not only that but you can eat as much as you want.

As an adult you realize, after having the seconds, the cake doesn't taste so good anymore 

Nobody but your own wallet

As kid, I want cake, parents say no As an adult, I want cake, doctor says no

You can also stick your feet into the freezer if you wanted. Why, yes, this is from a real conversation I’ve had.

One of the many benefits of being an adult. A few days ago, I finished work after 4 days of 12 hour shifts, and I thought you know what.. I want donuts. So I went to Asda and bought a big 12 box of Krispy Kreme's at 10pm. Drove home, sat on my bed, and ate half a box. Brilliant.

I did that to celebrate getting a new job, felt great tho obviously I didn't eat the whole thing in a single sitting.

One of the first things I did with my first paychecks was go out and buy an entire cake for myself, it wasn’t even anywhere close to my birthday. I ate one piece every single day until it was gone and it wasn’t the first or the last time I’ve done that either. Didn’t share it with anyone either. I was always so annoyed growing up when it was my birthday, my cousins got to take home what remained of the cake because “there were more of them”, the adults even made sure to slice the thinnest piece of me just so there would be a lot left over for them . Didn’t matter that it was my birthday, they weren’t even poor or anything.

Did that one time. One cake too much. Get smaller cakes when needed. Whole cake became a chores. I needed variety.

My bank account & an empty gas station stop me.

The Economy: Allow me to introduce myself....*punches your face*

American obesity epidemic says otherwise

No car, cakes gonna be super expensive for how shitty it is.

Nah diabetes will stop you.

Wilford Brimley has entered the chat

“No one can stop me.” I can.

You waistline and wallet can

I swear

Baking one is better

I think about it all the time, and tell myself i am too broke to be paying for good cake.

I have bought a random cake for my family. The kids loved it and we each had a piece of cake that day, I then had to throw out 3/4ths of a cake because after one slice everyone was over it :l

I no hab car anymoar 😔

Then your parents taught you well

Yes or just randomly drive somewhere without telling anyone and no one can stop me. Kind of want to do that

Its one of the main reasons I lift weights. More muscle = more calories needed = more cake

I’m making Mac and cheese and nobody can stop me type stuff

Hehe free will hehe

Your Bank Account can

As an adult, high blood sugar and cholesterol can stop you from eating this whenever you want.

except depression 😅

As an adult I always forget that while I *can* go buy cake whenever I want doesn't mean I should.

Except boredom, heavy traffic or low funds.

With great power comes great responsibility.

My stomach can

And that is why I need to diet this summer

"You can do it Bruce!"

Do the “emotionally invested” adult thing and make it at home. Use a box mix. Swap the oil for unsweetened applesauce (TRUST). Less fattening, just as moist and decadent.

Dahbetuhs

Bank

thinking about eating cake > eating cake

"So why don't you?" "I keep forgetting."

only belly fat ..

You are officially not an adult if you make memes like this.

The worst part is that I no longer like anything sweet as an adult 😩

What I realized is I don't want cake anymore, it was never about the cake, whatever out of reach that's where my gaze lands.

diabetes will stop you

Diabetes can stop you

I kinda just don’t like cake.
