CB, it's great that your hubby wants to celebrate for you, but that cake is no celebration! Tell him to stick a candle in your MF bar and sing Happy BIrthday, and call it a day! :-)
Seriously, don't even consider the cake. While of course you can choose to eat it, I think you're asking for trouble. A birthday celebration is really not about the cake or ice cream. It's about the excitement of a (hopefully) great year passed, and an even better year coming. You WILL have a better year, and a happier, healthier, more joyful one, IF you take care of yourself now. And that means making choices that are going to get you to goal.
People - we need to shake up our thought processes. It's not about the food. Each day, every holiday, vacation, celebration - it's about the people. Not the food. Celebrate yourselves. Celebrate your family and friends. Celebrate life. It's not the food. Just because it's been there in the past, does NOT mean it has to be there for your future.
Almost happy birthday to you, I hope the year brings you great happiness and success!
