It's a learning process! And sometimes you only learn it AFTER you make the mistake.

Some things I thought were risky, but it turns out I can keep them around the house no problem. While other things I thought would be okay were definitely NOT.

Your post made me smile. When I was checking out of TJ's the other day with four bottles of my favorite low cal salad dressing, the clerk randomly gave us a little package of waffle cookies with peppermint sprinkled chocolate on top. Apparently, he was giving out Christmas cheer. I darned near had those things eaten before I got home. They didn't make me a bit sick. A little guilty, maybe...but after all, it wasn't my fault. Hah!

Sweet Lord! I can relate. Cheeze-it's are not allowed in my house anymore. I have very few attachments to foods, but man, those crackers kill me!

These waffle cookies have been my treat for December. They replaced my addiction to the TJ chocolate covered peppermint JoJos/ oreos I had two years ago. They are much lower in cals. I can eat 4 for about 65 cals with my chocolate tea at night and feel like I indulged greatly.

So, as far as treats go, they are not the best, but you could have done far worse. Again I guess the key here is moderation.

I wish something would replace my hankering for TJs chocolate covered potato chips and their maple walnut blondies!

So funny you said this! I LOVE TJ's holiday treats. Last weekend I had a cart half full of veggies and half full of goodies. I feel some temptation seeing them around, but haven't touched them yet. I get them for my DH to enjoy (I mean for ME to enjoy vicariously through him!). It seems to be a good compromise for me!

Haha! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's done this. The good news is I'm so over TJ's Cocoa Truffles. I don't care if I never see them again! lol

I noticed that the cookies aren't the worst thing I could have eaten, but you are 100% correct that the key is moderation. This is what I am supposed to be learning here.

Moderation is the key... as I finish off a can of sour cream Pringles and a FEW dark Dove chocolates- oh boy the scale is going to give me a lecture about this stress eating tomorrow!
