I know I have trouble resisting treats when they are in my house, so I often prevent them from being there too. I will take a serving (or maybe two) and then either freeze or toss the rest. If I have someone else to give it to, great. Otherwise I eat too much and just feel bad about myself later. I too have gotten over the guilt of not keeping all the goodies/treats that I somehow end up with. I appreciate the gift, but I don't need to consume the whole thing to do so.
OMG WHY AM I POSTING AS MEREDITH? And why did j post in all caps?
IT FEELS GOOD, DOESN'T IT! SO EXPRESSIVE!
Good points all around. I like the idea of learning to balance needs and wants, and I think doing WW has helped me do that - trading more activity for a "treat" or choosing between two treats but not having both. For me, making a plan to be successful from here out and not just "on a diet" means being able to look at a plate of cookies and take just one. I know I won't be able to remove temptation forever or in every setting - some will always be out of my control. I don't want my choices to isolate me from others, and I love to enjoy food and celebrations with others, so being able to manage it in a healthy way is important to me.
The Silk plain, unsweetened soy milk is what DH uses in his coffee, they also make soy and coconut based creamers as well. I am 99.9% vegan, but last night ate some phyllo pizza and of course cookies going to package them up today and maybe the mailman will stop by today and i can give him some
Mine were already out the door today .. I was so tempted to eat more last night while watching the game but I had way too many while tasting at your house! Thanks for a great time.. it was so fun and all of the kids were so great!!
except my DH was convinced there was going to be ER trips for some of the kids. He is a worry wart Debating if i should go out and run errands or hide inside until i pick up DD this afternoon. It is so cold and wet out, but i wanted to hit up TJ Maxx. Meh. May just hide inside. But i wanted to get a big tin for the cookies, but i may just make a basket and wrap it up for DH's work. Today will probably be my last run for two weeks, I really cannot run when DD is home and winter break starts tomorrow at noon
you must be exhausted. I forced myself on the TM and just walked, but better than the lay on the couch and watch tv i was about to do. I am going to spend the rest of the day wrapping gifts and just relaxing. I am just exhausted. my period sucks. They have not all sucked lately, but this one does. And icky days make me lazy. AND i was moving the TM and dropped it on my toe! another reaosn i just walked.
Frankly, any home-baked cookies I receive always get thrown out ASAP. I do not need temptation in the house.
Why is that sad?
