"they say indulging once in a while will help you stay on track... so a snickers bar is actually a good thing??"

    If you don't have the self-control to only eat one cookie, have four ounces of skim milk with it and get rid of the remainder. I had to feed my cookies to my dogs. Prayer helps me, and an activity or hobby that keeps my hands busy so I can't snak. I hid all the chocolate in the back of the freezer, but I know where it is.... Balanced small meals are great because I only crave "bad" stuff when I am really hungry..

    Keeping your hands busy is good. Take up crotching, it is supposed to be very time consuming...

    There is a huge Hersey Bar in my cabinet but a serving is 4 square = 200 cals and 20 g of fat. I would love to devour it but is it worth it to consume that much cals and fat in something that won't even fill you up!!!

    I only ate one cookie! Really just one. I would never eat more. If you take two cookies and sandwich them together does that count as one cookie. I've never done that of coarse. It's not so much that I lie, I just confuse the truth a little. Hang in there MFP's you can't have your hand in the cookie jar all of the time right.
  • i was proud of myself. i gave the kids sunchips for a snack a few minutes ago and was very happy that i didn't have any after they were all gone.
    i just got done licking the inside of the bag.....

    I'm impressed that you can stop at 4 oreos. I've been known to put away an entire bag of double stuff by myself in a weekend!

    I just have to stay away from them now. I'm testing myself with a bowl of miniature hersheys on my desk and I'm actually able to ignore them. Well, almost. Or, at least most of the time.

    Someday I may be able to face oreos but it may be a long time coming. :ohwell:

    I just don't keep it in the house. It's easy for me since I'm in charge of groceries for my bf and I, and I don't have the money to spend on extras. Plus I just realize that I need to reserve my calories for useful things since I am constantly depriving my body of energy and making it feed off of itsself. That's mean enough without putting junk food in it :laugh:

    Flachix put a poem in here awhile back (and I'll probably mess it up) but it makes a great mantra for me when I want something I shouldn't eat...

    "OF ALL THE EVILS IN THE WORLD
    OF DRUGS AND DRINK AND SIN
    HOW DUMB TO FIGHT A DONUT
    AND LET THE DONUT WIN!!"

    Hope that helps

    Oh my favorite is or was (no more negative thinking for me LOL)...I've already screwed up today....will start fresh tom....soooo why not go out w/ a bang! ......15 mins later and an empty ben&jerry's in front of a sad gal watching crappy tv late at night saying to herself....why?! :sad:

    That's what I've been visualizing lately anyway...seems to help in some twisted way! lol:ohwell:

    Usually I brush my teeth...and try to keep busy...if I'm lounging after my son is alseep I will cut coupons, paint my nails....wish I could knit lol...things like that....and OH and exercise....move to some cool jams after dinner when you want that snack....even if its for a little while...you work up a sweat and get this rush and it shuts of the craving....you end up thristy and drinking water mmm!:drinker:

    anyway that's all I got lmbo...hope you win over that chocolate bar as sweet and frozenly delicious as it sounds:devil: ....it aint' worth it hon! lol
    hug!

    I was happy last night...I made chocolate chip cookies and ate ONE. I ate ONE! And I was all, "Wow that is SO sweet!" and just turned off by it LOL
    I used to be the kind of person that could eat half the batch!
