I didn't read through all of the responses so I'm not sure if someone else already suggested this and apologize if I am repeating a tip but I would avoid letting yourself take the bag anywhere with you. For me, sitting down with a package of something never leads to anything good. If you are going to eat a milano, take ONE out of the package (or whatever serving you have decided to eat) and then close the package, put it in the cabinet, walk away and eat and log your cookie. Before you go to get another cookie, make sure you log it so you are aware of exactly what you are doing.

This may not help you, but it helps me because I then have to go through many steps that its not possible to thoughtlessly overdo it. Pepperidge farm cookies cookies especially provide multiple steps because the packages have that wierd closure where it rolls down and then tabs fold over (you know what I mean).

Even better, like others have suggested you could find a sweet that takes longer to eat or is more satisfying. Personally, I like letting a piece of dark chocolate fully melt in my mouth. This takes a long time and really satisfies my sweet tooth more than eating a cookie or chewing that same chocolate would.

Quizno's flatbread salad with honey mustard dressing is over 1100 calories. A really heartbreaking moment for me when I discovered this because I used to order it all the time.

Doesn't it suck to think that you were trying to eat "healthy" and avoided eating that cheeseburger or those fries because a salad sounded better. Then you find out that the salad was worse then the cheeseburger and the fries combined? However, I bet if you only used half of the dressing and removed some of the the parts of the salad that were high in calories (did it have cheese?) you could reduce the amount of calories in it.

even before i was trying to eat healthy i would frequently ordered salads because I really enjoy the taste. i think the problem with the quiznos salad is mainly in the dressing. besides that its just chopped veggies and maybe some cheese too i forget. it also comes with the buttered flatbread that might not even be included in the 1100 cals. haha i would never order it now though, its not worth it.

Mariah Carey is also known in law enforcement circles for being completely nuts, just some insider information.

I would say she is known as being nuts in many other circles besides law enforcement haha. Mariah is completely fabulous in my opinion but yeah I would not be ever going to her for diet advice or actually any kind of advice for that matter.

thanks for your advice! Deep breathing is generally what I try but it's hard when you're all worked up and your minds is racing, etc etc. The good news is that this will all be over within a few weeks. I will try the benedryl if i continue to have trouble sleeping.

i was getting too fat for my favorite jeans and I didn't want to have to part with them

i was half kidding with the McDonald's comment. whatever works for you.

Congrats cookie_love on your recovery and your new found happiness in life!

mine does this too but i am able to suck it in and hide it. i wonder why? i literally spend my entire day holding my stomach muscles tense so that i don't have a pregnant belly and i wonder if doing that has strengthened them

really? wow I had always hear that iceberg lettuce had no real nutritional value. I see what you guys mean. sprouts are another option that can add crunch to a sandwich though.

I figured price probably was a big reason for iceberg's continued popularity

just made it and its very good....but my eyes are practically watering and I don't dare breathe around anyone or they'd pass out.

I can't believe the calories in this. With the recipe analyser I'm getting 500+ for a mere 1/4 Cup.

that doesn't sound right! most commercial hummus is very low cal, only 25 calories per tablespoon!

lean muscular calves

it sounds like everyone here has heard weight related/health related remarks that were hurtful.

so sad that this is such a sensitive and contentious issue. but in the end all you can control is your own actions. just treat others with respect and hopefully you will get the same in return.

if not, get over it and move on.

Green & Black's! They have them at whole foods i think?
