you can make it yourself! You just get a regular ol' cake mix (Duncan Hines or whatever) and, instead of the eggs and various whatnots you put in the mix, substitute 12 oz. of diet coke.
Seriously.
It is a bit sticky but surprisingly tasty.

I'm with the boys. The scale is like my lifeblood. I have to have it to keep myself on track otherwise it's really easy for me to procrastinate and just say "oh, I'll eat better tomorrow." If I see the effect of my eating everytime I step on the scale it's easier to keep going.
And, this diet coke cake intrigues me....

I had a temp job for a couple of months last summer/fall, and there was a doctor's scale there. That's how I knew I lost the 30 lbs. But now I don't have access to one, so I am winging it.

The entire reason I've gained twenty pounds in the last three months (besides asshole men) is because I avoided the scale. Sunday was my day of reckoning -- after gorging on Saturday on my birthday cake. I will not be old and fat!

Try it, Colleen. It's good without icing.
A bit sticky, really, but that's ok by me. Just be sure to coat your pan well with pam. I tried some kind of double chocolate mania of some kind and it was well worth the stickiness.
The bonus part is, of course, that you pretty much count the serving nutritional information for the mix only since you're adding absolutely 0 calories, fat and sugar to the prepared final product.
Also, I weigh everything, including my food, Colleen. I found near-instant results by eating the suggested portions of food only.

But SOMMS, you so purdy.
Now you're all making me paranoid that I don't have a scale.

I'm still within the "normal" weight range for my height but it's the BMI reading on the scale that scared the crap out of me.

That's not what I've heard, but that's for another thread.
I have been having Slim Fast Banana Nut Muffin bars for breakfast.

Slim Fast bars aside, i'm VERY leery of most of those "diet/nutritional" bars. If you look at their contents, they're pretty much packing the amount of calories, fat and sugar you'd find in a snickers. And they don't taste nearly as good.
#1517
Posted: 1/3/07 at 8:53am
Yes, I'm very careful of which ones I go for. Slim-Fast and South Beach are good.
What's amazing to me is that most of the "diet meal bars" out there are covered in chocolate. WTF is that?

Well, chocolate's not automatically bad, you know.
In fact, I have some cocoa that's REALLY tasty (organic) and, made with skim milk, has less calories than most any other drink you could have outside of water. But I'm just talking about the fact that most of those things taste like cardboard butt and have the nutritional value of a candy bar...so why pick the crappy one?

I hear ya - it just annoys me - if I'm having a meal, I don't want it covered in chocolate. 99% of them are.

You're definitely a lesbian if you don't want it covered in chocolate. That stuff goes well on anything!

I always have granola bars of some sort on hand. They are great for taking on the go, and with my travel schedule, it helps to have these on the plane (since the only snacks on planes are gross or too small!)
I like the classic, old-school Nature Valley crunchy granola bars. Two slim ones in a pack - I think it's about 3 pts for the 2-pack. They are pretty filling. I like the maple brown sugar flavor and the oats & honey flavor.
I haven't tried the South Beach or Slim Fast bars. I will look into that.
I did not care for the Kellogs Smart Start bars. Too sticky for me. Kind of like a heavy and overly chewy rice crispy treat.

Those are my favorite too, Peach. I'll buy a box of those at Fairway and keep them at my work desk for breakfast each week.

South Beach makes some good ones that are good for carrying around - I like the peanut butter ones.

My thing is--I've gained about ten pounds since the summer, but I have been working out the past 6 weeks. So, while I look pretty damn good, I'm a titch heavier. My hope is that when I quit eating like a spawn of Fat Satan, the fat will melt away to reveal a muthaf***in' hottie.
