I'm sure I will struggle with it my entire life, but I've got to get it under control. If I blow it I usually blow it big time. Not just a cookie, but lots of cookies. I do best if I just completely stay away from them altogether because I have no self control once I get started. The most difficult thing for me is that I live in a house with a TON of junk food everywhere because I am the only one dieting. It's not just my house so I can't control what everyone else buys. There were two boxes of fresh donuts sitting on the stove this morning before I came in to work, but I moved them over and made my scrambled eggs. I can't tell you how many cookie packages I have stared at just wishing I could have some, but I know myself and I can't just eat one. I'm taking the kids to the movies tomorrow so wish me luck on not giving in to the dreaded movie theater popcorn. I always bring baggies of pickles, beef jerky and nuts to snack on. The last time I did sneak a few pieces of popcorn, but only a little. It's just so hard to resist. Grrrrrr I hate being addicted to food.
