Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today, a very kind person in my office brought in package of chocolate chips cookies. You know - the soft, bakery kind. Definitely my weakness. I know I could fit one in today, but I would never be able to stop at just one! So for me, I can't have any. It's only 10 AM, but I still haven't touched them. It will be a long day. Must avoid the kitchen!

    Good luck! I have no self control when it comes to sweets. None. Kills me every time.

    When I get tempted with such foods, I just look at before and after pictures here on MFP. It's amazing how that can strengthen your resolve....

    I let myself have one. Why? Because it'll taunt me all day, and I have the calories for it. I eat smart either way. One cookie is not going to break the bank.

    then again, I don't have any deitariy restrictions to wheat, sugar, dairy, eggs, ect.

    You can do it! Stay away from the cookies. I personally can't stop either so I try not to have 1 at all.

    I don't know if this will help you but this is my trick. Take one cookie and put it on your desk (or in your desk) that you know you are allowed to have after lunch or after all the other cookies are gone. You know it's there and you know you're allowed to have it. For some reason, this helps me forget about all the other ones. If I make it till the others are all gone, then I can have my cookie.

    This is what I ended up doing. :smile:

    I couldn't overcome it completely.
