Loving planning a TREAT in my day but have to HIDE the bag to maintain control!

What about making healthy alternatives and freezing them? Like making cacao protein balls (delicious) which hit the spot but aren't as dangerous?
I am a salt person. I crave cinema popcorn (awesome as I cannot get to it) and chips. When it comes to those things, I don't keep them in the house. Once a week I will work them into my day so I can know that it is coming, enjoy it and then know it is just a week away again.
But different strokes for folks!
Mmm I love popcorn..I actually tend to over do it with popcorn also. But I try to work it into my week. I like pop secret butter flavor0 -
Ha! I do the same as you. I ask my husband to hide the bag/package.0

I have no advice. If I eat one, then I can not stop. If I just totally refrain I'm good, at least till the weekend0

Snack sized oreos only. I have a problem. Same with potato chips. It's a serious danger for me!
Anyways, kudos for portioning them all out! Maybe I can do that and get my boyfriend to hide them. I'd get plenty of exercise searching for them.0 -
My ex was tall as well and I found something almost immediately by thinking, "Where would a tall person put this?"
(In this case, I don't think I'd asked him to hide it.)0 -
I usually buy things in single servings and make the trip for them. We have almost everything in single servings (yes, you could buy a tablespoon of nutella and a package of 2 oreo cookies). When I feel like I want to have something I usually don't keep it in the house, I make a trip for it. It's actually how I judge if it's worth having or not. If I'm willing to make the trip then it's worth the calories, if not, then I don't want it enough to justify the calories.0

If I want it down I have to wait for my boyfriend to get it or climb up there (scared of heights). If I'm feeling good I just push them to the very back of the fridge so I can't see them unless I bend over (try em cold).
Yanno, things stored up high tend to get bugs or rats . . .
They don't last that long, And there are no bugs/rats/mice in my place! I keep a clean house ;D0 -
Freeze the Oreos in serving single serving size. If you can't hang then stop buying them. I have 2 college kids in the house. Junk is unavoidable. I must resist or allow it in small portions. Work it into the macros. It can be done!0

I can't have it in the house or I binge0

I have an empty almond tub stuffed with pre-portioned cookies, currently Chips Ahoy! banana chocolate and Reese's Oreo's I found at the 99 cent store. Making myself to weigh them out really killed my desire to binge.
I had to learn how to deal pretty quickly because I live in a house where people bring all sorts of sweets every week.0
