have your cake and eat it, too

[Guest guest]

I love a certain kind of cake. Funny thing is that I don't necessarily consider it a sign of self-love for me to eat a lot of cake. I just did. Last week I made a cake and I ate it. :-) I liked the cake, but did not like myself for eating that much cake. Sad, ain't it?

I just reread my post to you, sorry if it sounded like lecturing. I just wanted to commiserate.

And it does cause me a lot of emotional turmoil. I know that cake represents celebration for me. I'm very careful to stop when I'm full though. I do need to find another way to love and nourish my emotional self.
