Me! I can't have cookies, crackers, chips, bagels, chocolate...really, most things that are snack-able ... If I want a bagel, I must go to panera bread and buy one (which I will rarely do). Everything else, I allow myself from time to time, but I have to take a special trip to the store for it.
This was post #2 but this is me EXACTLY also. For me, my laziness always trumps making a special trip to the store for those cookies or whatever. I miss having those snack-able things, but not having it in the house forces me to learn to adapt which I need to do anyway. I'm low carb which means we scour the meat prices and stock the freezer so when I HAVE to eat something, there's something there even tho there's no "immediate gratification" while waiting for it to thaw. But, again, that helps me to learn to adapt that hunger is not the emergency situation that I try to make it.
This technique doesn't work for baked goods that I lie to myself that I can freeze so it makes it harder. You can eat frozen rum cake and frozen Girl Scout cookies. There's no lag time at all.
