U guys my mom is starting to make her christmas cookies. lol oh dear im in trouble. lol i didnt have any tonight, but as for the future idk i hope my willpower is strong enuff. any 1 else having to go thru this?
I posted this on another thread but the best thing that has ever happened to me was my boyfriend jokingly saying I have no willpower. I took it personally and now I'm the willpower goddess. I think thinking about the fact that someone else didn't think I was strong enough made me even better.
We're all here for you, girl! Maybe tell yourself that you can have 2 or something on Christmas & so it will be something you can look forward to. Also, that way you won't feel deprived like you aren't allowed to have any good stuff. This is a lifestyle change - not a life of deprivation.
When you need a cookie, just get on here & we'll all talk you out of it!!
holiday cookies are the worst! my mom makes 15+ kinds and makes cookie platters for all of our friends, with many to spare afterward. this season i'm going to try to limit but not deny myself these little treats. one dessert per family function, or something like that it makes me feel like i'm not completely starving myself of the things i love most, and keeps me on track.
I made a little "no cookie, chocolate or chips" challenge til Christmas Day if you're interested. I know how hard it is so I'm trying to be pre-emptive! It's over in the "The worst month for diets is here" thread
I know exactly how you're feeling. My mom is a Christmas cookie nut!! I don't know how I'm gonna handle it this year either. We just have to be strong, and like Chance said, we can hop on here and someone will tell us its not worth the cookie!!
can your mum not mak a low fat version of the cookies? Like use less butter, egg whites rather than the whole egg? then you could eat them and not feel so bad.
I feel your pain. Currently we have three things of ice cream, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, AND poppyseed bread in the house. I am going to go crazy! Currently I've been telling myself I can have one small serving of each every day. An extra 200 hundred calories doesn't hurt me too much and it keeps me from going nuts!
I know what you mean. My sister just informed me of her planned Christmas menu. The food sounds delish (and fatty), but only a few dishes .... because she plans for the focus to be on DESSERT.
I find that I can have almost anything around and not eat it if I don't lie to myself and say..."I'll have just one or just a taste." I don't seem to have a problem if I just don't start.
One food I can't keep around unless it is in single serve packages is Dark Chocolate. I can't buy bags of chocolate chips to have on hand, "just in case I feel like baking cookies." I will tear that sucker open and eat it all within a few days.
anastasia- sry no she wont make them healthier. but i did solve the problem of me not eating them. SHE'S going to lock them up 4 for me, so i def wont have access and go crazy and gain all my weight back.
I always make Christmas cookies too, from thanksgiving on usually. This year i've only made them once. I wasn't able to resist them, but i've decided i'm not making any more until the day before Christmas eve, that way i can just pass them out with gifts and get them out of my house
I'm not usually a sweets person, but peanut butter blossoms are my weakness. I think locking them away sounds like a good plan. Good luck.
Im in trouble
i didnt have any tonight, but as for the future idk
