Cookies are calling my name...

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.0 -
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.0

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 xx0 -

thats awesome!!!! i completely understand!!!!0 -
Food itself isnt my drug, but there are certain foods that are. Like cookies. There is nothing nobody can say, or nothing I can do, to not eat a dozen cookies if I got the chance. I don't allow them in my crib. My granddaughter brought some over for her snack when she slept overnight, I took them, and dared her to bring any more here, and warned my daughter. So that will never happen again. I don't support any cookie peddlers either, mean as that may sound, but I'm not going to set myself up. I LOVE COOKIES BETTER THAN SEX0

Buy a safe that only your husband (if you have one?) knows the combination to and have him throw them in there xD0

Oh no. Now I feel like baking some.0

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...
Does this happen to you every day? If not, enjoy some more cookies! There is nothing wrong with enjoying some cookies so long as you can fit them into your weekly target. Try focusing on your weekly goals instead of your daily goals. For me the increased flexibility of doing so takes away all stress and guilt from my food choices. I can eat basically anything I want on one specific day and still hit my weekly calorie and macro targets.0 -
Good advice, but I'm coming off a bad weekend from celebrating Mother's Day. It's important that I stay on track the rest of this week. You make an excellent point though!0

^ This! Very sensible approach!
Or, if this is a special treat that you might not get very often, then why not allow yourself the luxury of a bit of a splurge? If you're generally consistent in the long run, one day of delicious cookies will not undo all your hard work and is no cause for guilt. (Says the person who enjoyed the hell out of three pieces of delicious cake yesterday and didn't even feel a bit bad about it).0
