Christ! That's a lot of chocolate! lol 

Twould calm a chocolate craving!! 

I came on this to lose weight and ur making it harder 😟 

Sorry, Maddie. I don't eat chocolate cake often. That's why I shared this piece with my hudband. It wasn't a huge slice...pic is a close up.  

Wow that really looks like a slice of heaven😍 I can't eat it...but I can sure as heck dream about it! Thanks for the sweet dreams😊 

Omg that what I want for my bday 

Celtic Phoenix— I bake a lot and have learned to successfully substitute SWERVE for the sugar in many baked goods. I am not diabetic but so very many of my friends have diabesity that when I make treats I try to mitigate the damage. It has worked so successfully in many of my recipes (including a chocolate zucchini cake) that the substitution is now the standard recipe. Even with that being said, you cannot then eat twice as much. It is still all about portion control and moderation. 

A couple of points.... I have hit my goal & I'm in maintenance. I did eat desserts while losing but sparingly. This cake was a complementary slice from a lunch out on Thurs. It has been in the fridge til I thought I could "afford" the calories. I shared to cut those calories in half. My weight did NOT go up overnight after eating this 😊 

for me nothing is really off limits except processed food that contain artificial ingredients or msg--asthma and migraine trigger. If I indulge I simply adjust calories for a few days to compensate. I average calories over a week. Maddie, something being off limits depends on what your individual plan is, sometimes you will see foods on here that do not fit your plan.  

Oh man that looks sooooooo good 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
