    Great job! I'm sorry if anybody attacks you but you have every right to be very proud of conquering a food trigger. Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

    Exactly right! Each of us has to look for ways to fight our own personal demons and you have found one -- but stay vigilant, bad habits fight back at first.

    Cookies. You probably can't "just say no" (I can't) so an alternative is to bag each one separately and put them all in the freezer. Make Monday, Wednesday and Friday cookie days. Have your son take one out (one for him too), microwave it, and serve it to mommy on a plate in the living room (even if he needs some help.) He can be proud of the ceremony surrounding HIS cooking and you have reasons not to disappoint him by sneaking them on your own

    Love this idea, I think I'm gonna try it for when I go on my baking sprees. Has to be cheaper than trying to give it away to friends so it doesn't tempt me.

    Congratulations on your huge victory! I, too, cannot seem to control myself around cereal- one bowl NEVER seems sufficient!

    WTG! I have no time for anyone that would say anything against someone with an eating disorder. I met one when I was in group therapy. I cant identify, because I have never had to deal with it, but I can sympathize because my demon is no more relevant than anyone else's. Continued success with your recovery!

    Way to go!! I've been recovered from my ED for over a year now, and little victories like that are SO important and are just another step in the right direction.

    Keep it up! It gets better :)

    THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! I've already had 3 and that is PLENTY. I'm going to do this right now. Can't thank you enough!!! Lachlan (my nearly 3 year old) has just grown tall enough to reach the freezer with the step stool, and he will love the routine of "cookie day"!! THANKS

    Thank you everyone for your support. I'm so grateful and my love of the forums is back 100% after the bad experience a few weeks ago!

    Thank you thank you!
