If I am out at a birthday party or some other social function and the usual foods are available, I tell myself this... The birthday cake is not going to taste any different than any other birthday cake you have had over the years, so remember how the last one tasted and keep it moving. This is my way of avoiding unwanted calories.
It's my birthday Saturday 10/2. A while back I did a web search for birthday freebies. I joined several of my favorite local restaurants and between last week and now, I can eat free meals and/or desserts/appetizers for the next 2 weeks. : ) No strings attached. Just print out the coupons celebrating your birthday they send you.
