    What about baking something and giving it away to a neighbor with a busy schedule or small kids? Someone that doesn't have time to bake. Or a nursing home or hospital, or even a soup kitchen? I bet you could find plenty of people who would appreciate your talent without you having it sitting around being tempting.

    I bake all the time. I love cooking and baking. The key is cooking healthier, and portioning it out. I like to bake, then keep a small amount for my hubby and I, and then share the rest with friends and coworkers.

    I have those days for sure. Mine was with chocolate chip cookies several weeks ago now. And some days I just eat more than I should. All I can say is don't beat yourself up, everyone goes over unless there is truly a perfect person out there.

    Maybe try and look at is as a "treat" day, or a special day where you can have some goodies without guilt. You work hard and eat right most of the time I am guessing. It is ok to overindulge once in awhile. This isn't about depriving ourselves of some fun foods or slack days. It's about balance. You are ok and you are with others that do the same. The more you eat right and exercise the less guilt you will feel I think. In fact, you will probably just get on here and cheer about the "goodies" you indulged in and didn't gain an ounce!!

    I do this as well. The thing that makes me not have an issue is to bake later in the evening, almost at bedtime, on Sunday and then bring whatever I baked to work the next day so it isn't sitting around my house. I also stop the temptation of the beaters and whatnot by immediately making whatever batter I am using then once I'm done, pour it into the proper apparatus then throw the mixing bowl and all accessories under water. Putting them in the sink and dousing with water will DEFINITELY make me not eat that stuff.
