    How many do you have to eat before you are satisfied? Figure them into your daily caloric intake, then there is no problem.

    I understand you exactly! Therefore I live by this: If I don't have the first bite, I won't overeat. This has been working for me for over a year now. I just don't eat processed sugar. I know others are able to still enjoy those delicious desserts and can limit their intake, but I can't. I've learned this lesson the hard way - more than once!

    It is funny. I am actually great at resisting temptation to eat sweets and biscuits when I am out and about around other people, but when I am at home and my husband brings things home or if I just want something I have a problem with eating too much or getting too big of a size of the treat. I gained a lot of weight by making homemade chocolate cake and getting large shakes from sonic- so good but also have a lot of calories. I have not had those in a long time.
