I've had no problem allowing myself a treat a day, or every couple of days, as long as I'm still under my calorie goal. I've stopped the sweets and other things I like cold turkey before, and the changes didn't last long. For me, allowing the "bad" things every so often has allowed me to stay on track.

Me too!! I don't eat walnuts often but when I do (I like them in cottage cheese mixed w/cinnamon, raisins, chopped apples) I have to be careful as they hurt the roof of my mouth. No clue as to why its just walnuts.

So I buy a bar of dark chocolate when I am full. (I don't go to the store hungry or I'll buy all my trigger foods and eat them when I get home.) Then I break the bar into pieces and put them into individual snack baggies. On my way out the door, I throw one in my purse. That way I only have the one piece with me and cannot eat the rest. It's what works for me!

This is a GREAT idea; thanks for sharing! Less expensive than buying the 'individual' type packages too. :)

Yup, same here. I buy the small bags (in the baking aisle) and never, ever, ever do I buy something like Honey Roasted Peanuts. Absolute danger zone! :eek:

My mouth gets sore when eating pecans as well as walnuts.My grandmother had the same problem. Not sure why!! I truly cannot keep nuts in my house!! I have no control when it comes to nuts.......I GO NUTS!!!!! I am hoping to learn to control myself with nuts someday.

I bought a bar recently and I have a square on some days (basically, when I remember that there is chocolate in the cupboard). I don't suffer from chocolate addiction so it does not really constitute a reasonable temptation for me.

I do eat raw almonds (unroasted, unsalted) or walnuts. With almonds, I usually count myself 25 of them as I think that is a serving, and walnuts I eat sparingly because I usually have sore mouth after that, I don't what in the walnuts is causing that.

the exact same thing happens to me when I eat walnuts. it's so strange. i still eat them though.
