    Cookies are calling my name...

    edited January 24 in Motivation and Support
    My mom brought over a container of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for my daughter. I did eat one and I logged it. I am literally sitting here obsessing about them. I am afraid once I put my daughter to bed in 30 min I will go down and eat half of them with a glass of milk. I wish I had more self control. At times I feel like food is my "drug" and I'm an addict. Sitting and having a binge is like a high for me, of course afterwards I just feel awful. I wish having those cookies downstairs didn't have an effect on me...

      I feel the same way. There have been times when I know I can't have a snack at night (like, if I have already eaten my cals for the day) and I will panic then binge. Food is my drug and Cookies/sweets are the worst for me, I can't stop myself once I start and that is the problem. Just think of how good you will feel about yourself tomorrow if you don't eat anymore of the cookies and good luck doll, I know thats hard to do .. or not to do in this case. :flowerforyou:

      You are NOT alone! Cookies are my biggest weakness! Anytime I'm around them or they're in my home, I obsess just like you until I eat them all and then feel like crap the next day. :( Maybe it would help to remind yourself that they are for your daughter, not you. When I remember my son like that, I also remind myself that I need to be a good role model for him. I don't want food to have control over him like it does me. :( Stay strong Mama!

      tape them up with loads of duct tape, and remember how time consuming it will be to open it up again.

      I feel your pain. maybe eat a large carrot or two, that will take a while to chew and then you wont feel hungry, so you should be over it.

      omg this is totally me lol and im laughing because i can see myself eating those cookies and maybe leaving two in the jar. that awful feeling afterwards isnt worth it. i say go do a few minutes of excercise. take a walk, jog in place or maybe read a good book. all of those things have been helping me keep my mind off of food. once you start making healthier choices you wont even want those cookies anymore

      Cookies here either need to go out of sight (the freezer is a great idea!) or the man I am affiliated with eats them, so they are out of mind. lol He is one of those fast metabolism people, lucky man.

      Homemade cookies are my weakness too. (Although I DID turn down some homemade bars today at work.... and they looked AMAZING.)

      Maybe not applicable since they were made and they're not yours...

      But ANY leftovers that I'm tempted to eat, I cover in washing up liquid, or something equally as gross.

      Making sloppy joes for the kids right now and do they ever look/smell so tempting.

      Oh no......! Totally understand! Put them in the room with your daughter.... Ask her to count them and keep count each time she eats one.... A lesson for her and some control for you:) :smile:

      Wishing you continued success in your journey to a healthier you!:drinker:

      I have had to learn to cook for the rest of my family so there are no leftovers. They are my weakness as I hate to throw out good food. And if there are a few I make the kids take them right out to the chickens. At least they will turn them into eggs.

      HIDE.THEM. NOW. Put them up and away from you. In the highest, farthest away corner of the kitchen, or in the trunk of your husbands car, ANYWHERE that is out of sight. If you leave them where you see them, they will continue calling you. I made chocolate chip muffins two weeks ago. My kids were tearing them up, my 5 year old looked at me and said "Mommy! Please put these where we can't see them so we will have some left for tomorrow!" Just put them away....

      The freezer actually makes them taste better. So for me that doesn't work out well.

      I know how you feel. Freeze them. I had to do that when my dad made me a huge peach cobbler, that my husband does't eat. I had a serving everyday for 4 days then realized that I was gaining weight. My dad suggested that I freeze it. It's been frozen since February.

      You an also ask your Mom to only bring over a 1/2 dozen next time.

      Good luck.

      How about you sit down right now plan your day tomorrow so that you can get in a nice long workout, and earn enough calories for 4 or 6 cookies and a glass of milk? If you know you can have some tomorrow, it will get you through tonight. And then you can enjoy some mom-made cookies without feeling bad about it.

      Hide them!!! Step away!! lol Its not worth it!

      I put them in the freezer too. My home made choc chip cookies are my weakness and my binge food, so I rarely make them. I am always conflicted by wanting to make home made treats for my kids (rather than store bought) and my tendency to eat "inappropriately" around them - argh!

      Just wanted to say I feel your pain xx
