Could you check my diary?

Dealing with cookies (I have two little boys):

- Bake and freeze (like someone else said)
- Your brothers probably don't need cookies every day either. Make it a weekend thing.
- Have just one as a treat sometimes and make an occasion of it - like afternoon tea with a pretty cup on a tray - just not every day.
- Visualisation: Think of your stomach as a lovely glass bowl and then think of the food that you eat inside the bowl. Glass bowls look great filled with fruit and salads, freshly cut vegetables etc. Not mashed up cookies. Or consider the fats in the cookies clogging your arteries and making it difficult for you to get any blood to your heart, think of having to use a walker at age 50, think of all the operations/illnesses you will have if you keep eating them. Then try and eat the cookies. Not so appealing is it?

Yeah, seriously, cut the milk.
It'd give you more calories to eat in healthy food, like veggies and fruit.
Plus, water will help you get rid of excess water weight as well.

I keep gum in the kitchen for when I cook or bake. Keeps me from snacking on what ever I am making.
Definately helps a little.

I second the gum suggestion! I chew it after dinner, too, sometimes to help curb dessert cravings.
