whinging, as warned, about no sweets

[mizkit]

Today I have had the thought, “I could make a batch of cookies and just eat two!” more than once.

Then I have faced reality. It’s possible I might just eat two today. I might be able to be that good. And I might say I’ll just eat two tomorrow. However, tomorrow-and let’s assume I’m really being good-I will *actually* have two for dessert after

I offer you the gift of smoked almonds!

Well, it works for me. Sort of. Sometimes.

Or a chupaqueso! Bwa ha ha.

My cats have just broken into and consumed a packet of salted almonds. I'm just sayin', because it still rankles. They can't like nuts, they just can't... (Can they...?)

The all-bacon diet has worked well for me.

Obviously, you make the cookies and eat them all today. There. End of problem!

I have this same problem, so I solve it by only making cookies for other people. For my grandfather, for example, or for parties or stocking stuffers or birthday presents. That way I only have two cookies because otherwise I feel like I'm depleting their present.

I feel your pain. I just decided I need to get back on the food-consciousness plan.

As a rule, there are certain food items that I do not buy more than twice a year, otherwise I will binge on them:

lime-flavored tortilla chips
Pims orange or raspberry flavored cookies
Pepperidge farms soft superchunk chocolate chip cookies (any variety, but esp white choc mac nut)
girl scouts golden samoas cookies.

seriously, i open the package and they're all gone in two days *at most*

Piiiiims.
