    First, it happens. One day of going over your calorie goal will not ruin your progress in the long run. Learn from it. Second, use the recipe tool to put your recipes in so you know the calories before you eat. Third, I would suggest that the idea of "forbidden" food is not particularly helpful. It tends with many people, myself included, to build a sense of deprivation over time. This is just my opinion.

    Agreed, all across the board. Just from your initial post I can tell you're hiding it like some illicit drug habit. Don't deprive yourself of sweets-- everything in moderation. I find that especially when I bake something myself, I have the sense of accomplishment like, "Oh hey, I made this. Go me. That deserves a cookie!" Don't let yourself ride the guilt train. We all go overboard every once in a while...

    I most certainly am hiding it! I am not depriving myself though, I'm just hiding it from the kids. They are both really small, and no, I don't deprive them sweets either, their snacks are just a little more limited. I always save extra calories for the rare moments I can eat a cookie without little hands swiping it away. I just went a little overboard that day. I know it is not a setback, just something to learn from.

    Yep. My daughter made ginger/lime cookies that I just couldn't pass up...

    Back when I was over 200lbs, I made chocolate chip cookies every night or close to it. I had to cut that out because I was eating probably 3-4 cookies worth of dough and then 3-4 baked cookies on top of that for around 100 calories each!

    I have basically given up on baking because it is generally makes too much for my family of three to eat in a reasonable amount of time, we really don't need to be eating it anyway, and I can't keep my hands out of the bowl. I pretty much only do it six weeks a year in Nov-Dec.
