>every year my family asks me what cake I want when we celebrate my birthday
>been trying to eat less like shit for the past 4-ish years, keep telling them it might be fun to eschew our fatassed tradition of a big dessert after a big meal and just have a smorgastarta for dinner
>they tell me to stop being a fag, that they won't eat that shit, and to choose a real cake

Heckin based

Because they want me to go whole hog I usually go a full 180 and tell them to make a chocolate Guinness cake.
I understand why my idea pisses them off, they're all excited to have cake as well on my birthday.

>>17186835
Your family is right anon, swedes are fags

>>17186857
Just ask them for a normal sweet cake like a fudge cake or red velvet and ..just have a small slice.
You know, moderation which is the keystone of all good diets?
Stop thinking complete denial is a good thing for dieting.

>>17186872
I'd also be cool with coming over for JUST cake.
They want a big dinner, they want a lot of booze, and then after all that they want cake.
I usually go for a small slice of my guinness cake, but it still feels like a lot when it's following steak, potatoes, artichokes with tarragon butter, pinot noir, and salad.

>>17186827
Take that thing outside.

>>17186827
what's the difference?

>>17186879
wow, how horrible your lilfe must be. boo fucking hoo

>>17186927
I like my family, for right now sharing life with them is very nice, but when they die several decades before me because of too much food I'll be very sad to put their giant novelty coffins in massive holes that look like they were supposed to be foundations for human houses, not graves.

>>17186942
you cannot escape your genes, might as well celebrate with your family like a normal person and be a faggot for the remaining 364 days of the year

>>17186956
You're saying he has to be fat just because his family is?

>>17186962
him being fat has nothing to do with having dinner and cake with his family on his birthday.

>>17186962
It's a commonly spread theory about fatties that they're genetically destined to fat.

>>17186969
Only midwits think being fat isn't caused by genetics

>>17186847
Right, based. Be a fatass like all the unadventurous fast-food eating lards on CK.

>>17186969
Its their mental genetics not some bullshit metabolism excuse

>>17186962
Start exercising that way you can eat like them

BLOODY FUCK, can you all just address my thread???

>>17187022
does meat loaf count as cake?

>>17187022
>nooooooooo you gotta stay on topic! I'll throw a big moody I swear!

>>17187011
My baby brother will wake up, he'll start his day off with double hashbrowns covered in green chili, cheddar, and sausage, to drink is a caramel latte.Lunch is a quarter pounder, large fries, diet dr. pepper. His typical dinners are steak with two whole potatoes roasted in butter, both covered with a homecooked béarnaise or a half pound of chicken breast with a generous heap of fried gnocchi in basil and parmesan, a fried eggplant/red pepper pizza, pork cutlets in a pan cream sauce with fresh sourdough- he loves to cook for himself but it's like a fucking parody of French-style decadence. He burns through a pound of butter, a litre of olive oil, a bottle of white cooking wine every week.
In between that it's takis, oreos, salt and vinegar kettle chips, chocolate, roasted nuts, etc.
I'd have to be going on weekly 14ers or be a pro football player to eat his daily intake healthily.
Even then, I think 5k+ cals in cals out can take a toll on the ticker even if you aren't getting fat.

>>17186872
It's not just the calories. A small slice of overly sweetened cake tastes just as bad as a big slice.

>>17186827
They're really popular in Brazil.

>>17187022
Just eat the way you want. Dont take cake away from fatties though. Sure fire way to piss them 9ff

>>17187051
What is his age, weight and height?

>>17187085
23, 5'9, and I think he's up to 300+

>>17186827
We do have one, it's called meat loaf.

>>17187051
>I have to be a football player to share 1 meal with him
Also slap the shit of that fucking caramel shitty shit out of his hand he can be a lardass but that's no excuse to drink that girly shit

>>17186827
This just looks like a shit sandwich with frosting.

>>17187099
Thats a problem.

>>17187099
Yeah, that's ridiculous. He's going to die.

>>17187141
So are you, faggot.

>>17187141
Oh yeah.
Our other brother is less bad at 6'1 and 250-ish but I'm pretty much guaranteed to be the last one alive.
It's gonna be shitty, I wish we could all be old men together.

>>17186835
You sound lame, telling your family to not have a feast during a celebration.

>>17187022
I'd be willing to try a savory cake or pie. What would you recommend?

>>17186827
>>17186899
>>17187068
this is fucking digusting

>>17186827
Is lasagna a savory cake?

>>17188954
no
>>17187982
not op, but i would definitely recommend a club sandwich one. especially if you're a bit skeptical to the concept because it's a much more clear and familiar flavor
t swede

>>17186980
You do realize that it is possible for a healthy fit human being that exercises regularly to eat a cake for their birthday, right? Having a slice or two of cake for your birthday is not going to reverse 4 years of trying to eat healthier, especially if you have also made improvements to your fitness levels. Sounds like you have failed yourself, so blame others for your failures.

>>17188979
First of all, cake is boring, OPs parents are whiny fucking manchildren for turning their noses up at his novel suggestion. Secondly, Denying the context of the rest of the thread, cool, expected it.

>>17186827
>>17187068
would eat
>>17186899
looking at that is making me gag

>>17189061
what do you have against the hurgin fucker

>>17189012
>cake is boring
You can't taste

>>17186835
How old are you

>>17186827
Who says they haven't?

>>17186827
This is baked angel food cake from the Sims 3 except it's not on fire

>>17187068
I want the salami one

>>17189589
That's not a savoury cake, it's an abomination.

>a sandwich is a savoury cake

seems satanic

>>17186827
Because that is not a cake, it's a fancy sandwich that you can't eat with your hands fucker.

>>17186998
Genetics are a major factor to determining who is predisposed to obesity. Those who gain weight with ridiculous ease.

>>17189941
My maintenance intake seems to be about 100 or so calories left than the general reccomendation, but I'm lazy, a manlet, and being a fat probably fucked over my metabolism.
Genetics may play some role, but they're secondary to habit.
if you're """gentetically fat""" you don't have to live a crazy life where you're on a treadmill half the day and eating only water cress, it's more that where your pal Greg gets a turkey sandwich with avocado and mayo, you'll be set with the same sandwich, open-faced and skipping the mayo.

>>17186827
Hey, I made a similar one for Christmas!

>>17186835
>he doesn't fast before feast days
