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!

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.

@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!

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

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

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

Thanks, Anna, that's a good idea. Then I won't have as much to stuff with!

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.

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.

And it looks so good by the way I see why you would eat it all
