Pudding cake or cobbler?

For years whenever I don't feel well, I "mother" myself and bake a pudding cake. Unfortunately, I'm the only one who likes it and I end up eating most of it myself. Recently I saw a recipe on FB for a Chocolate Cobbler. It looks almost identical to my recipe except the cake is chocolate and mine is white cake with a chocolate sauce. That Chocolate Cobbler is driving me insane with desire. But I know I'll end up eating the whole thing! This comes at a time when I need to lose about 4 or 5 pounds. So, to rationalize my intention to bake and eat that sugar and fat laden thing, I'm not eating any sweets for three days. Then I plan to make that cobbler and eat (almost) all I want of it. Trouble is, I don't eat that many sweets as it is, so cutting them out for three days probably won't balance the sugar I'll consume from the cobbler. If I really use some self-control, I'll try to take some to my uncle before I eat it all. If I believed in luck, I'd ask y'all to wish me some.

I would probably go for the chocolate cobbler.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could limit the amount I eat. But it's just so tempting!

Divide it in portions and have a small piece every day. After eating, you drink lots of water to dilute the sugar effect.

If I can freeze some of it, I might try that. Does water really help with the sugar?

@1creekgirl I can't really make a recommendation but I heard it from a friend who says the 'reaction' she got after eating sweet things stopped after she started drinking lots of water immediately afterwards - so I do that whenever I indulge myself in guilty pleasures - just in case.

If you don't indulge yourself, who will indulge you? Be happy and proud that you can make things to delight your taste buds and celebrate that with a chocolate cobbler.

So, do you remember if you made the cobbler. The food in the picture looks very delicious.

@1creekgirl I looked up the recipe and it sounds easy to make. You have tempted my no sugar rule!

If it's as good as my regular pudding cake, it will be scrumptious.

Good luck with that..I have a cake here.I had to put it in the freezer..It was defintely causing me to eat too many sweets and my pants were tighter. I think the more of it you can give away the better. I would go for the pudding cake I think..

I think they are real similar. But I'm not going to make it until I see a pound or two gone down. I have no will power!

Who won't lose his self control for it. I can smell from the pic how delicious it would be. If you are health conscious then you can make it small and should have someone with you to share it.

My husband won't eat it, but our grandson is coming tonight so I bet he'll share it with me.

I made some pudding last weekend, reminded us both of this "dessert" that we used to enjoy as a family when our son was young. I always served it in stemware, and it taught him how to eat out of good crystal-invaluable lesson in my books.

@1creekgirl Well it taught him manners and kind of dressed up the plain old pudding.

Chocolate cobbler sounds delicious, I like everything with chocolate. You can divide all the quantities in half (or in 3) and make a small one.

@1creekgirl This is what I usually do, if I make too much, I eat the whole thing.

Thank you! Now I want this chocolate cobbler! I would eat it all too. Unless Tony found it first then he would. Make it and freeze half.

That seems like a nice plan. Or you can go out for a walk to burn the extra calories

Ha! Easy for you to say! I do better if I don't take the first bite at all than to quit after one bite.

I think you can freeze some so you will not eat it all at once.
