I'm sorrounded by yummy and delicious food all day long. After a long day of dealing with upset guests, I take refuge in eating a cookie or two. It's not ideal but I try to keep myself busy with work and away from the kitchen. Anyone know of better ways to deal with stress from work? Am I the only one that gets a warm feeling after eating a home made cookie?

    There has always been something about food and comfort for me.Eating one cookie almost always leads me to other foods, especially salty foods, first sweet then salty. I remember becoming upset, once, when my mom gave me less milk than my brothers and I thought she loved me less. If you can stop with a single serving and not move on to other foods, I don't see a problem. If It's not sabotaging your weight loss, do it.Excercise makes me feel uplifted and motivated, but that's hard to do at the end of the day when I'm tired. Working a craft, like knitting helps. I don't focus on stress, just the end result of the knitting project.
