    I always end up watching Man v. Food or Diners Driveins and Dives when I'm working out! So weird!!

    Why don't you allow yourself to cook??? That way you have more control over what goes in the food!!

    Walking through the bakery section of the grocery store... I never buy anything even though I want to, and the delicious smells taunt me... Why do I do this to myself?!?! Lol

    I make dozens of different types of cookies (mint chocolate chip, chocolate dipped apricot, double chocolate chip, red velvet, etc) for my family; then I don't lick my fingers of the dough that accumulates when putting them on cookie sheet to bake, nor do I eat even one to taste...I bag them in in gallon size bags and have 4 - 6 bags sitting on counter for weeks while the rest of the family eats them all up.

    I bake. I bake things I can't even take a taste of because of the gluten in them. I fill my house with the yummy smells, and then I give it all away lol
