My not-so-serious theory on sweets

courtneyweiss

Okay, this is so funny. This is often how my husband and I would justify treats in the past. Why must cookies come in such large packages? Torture, that's why.

But seriously, I think the idea of logging them first to see what you'd be putting into your body is a great idea. Thinking about that much sugar makes me ill.

But cookies are so good...

So I limited myself to 1 serving if anyone is curious. We'll see how long that lasts.

You're very brave. :laugh: I am not the type of person who can eat one or two cookies and then be done. No, I need to have all of them, or none of them. One of my friends can have just two and put them back...I always told her how lucky she was to be able to do that! And told her how jealous I was! :laugh:

That was my theory tonight too with cheesecake ( :noway: ) I figured let's get it out of the way tonight so tomorrow I won't have to have it staring at me. It's funny how nasty I felt eating that cheesecake...I eventually sat it on the floor, and let my cats have their way with it.

They're in the kitchen calling to you...come eat me, Monster...Yah, that sounds bad. You're a stronger man than I.

So my wife buys a thing of Chips Ahoy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies knowing damn well I have very little will power against these type of tasty treats. :grumble:

So here's what I would do normally... eat the whole bag that same night.

Here's where my theory comes in. If I eat them all now they can't keep tempting me the rest of the week, right? Plus I only have one day of going WAY over my calories instead of multiple days still going over just not as quite as much as if I'd eat the whole bag. :laugh:

So far so good so far though. I'm actually getting a little sick thinking about having to eat the whole bag tonight. :sick: :laugh:

It must be a valid theory, since I have used the exact same logic in past.

So many comments and none of them appropriate.

:laugh: :laugh: But they made me laugh reading them all. Especially thinking about BrendaLee's cats bouncing off the wallafter eating the cheesecake. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I was talking about what I could say in reply to BrendaLee's last comment but you're right. I bring out the worst in folks according to her anyway.

Um true story, any comment with the phrase "come eat me" in it, must illicit inappropriate responses. It's like the law.

I like the way you think. LOL

That's my theory! Why ruin a whole week? Just one night and move on:laugh:

Seriously. I theorize like that too. Get it done and move on. :laugh:

I'm going to have to do some online research to find out what's worse long term just for the heck of it:

6 cookies a night for a week on top of normal upkeep calories
or
42 cookies in a day on top of normal upkeep calories

Maybe say doing that once a month...

I'm curious about this also. Let us know.:laugh:

GOOD JOB- I love cheesecake-my favorite is from Costco. Ever tried it?

Just sounds like a mean wife...I try not to bring anything sweet into the house, especially chocolate, unless i know the teens will be around to destroy it before hubby sees it. He has a real problem with chocolate and oatmeal cookies.
