and other stuff that made me go over maintenance.

Funnily enough, I still got an "A."

And no workout either.

Ughghhghghhghghghhghghg I went to a nutrition seminar yesterday and I feel like a tub of lard. What to do what to do. Why do I lose control like this?!

Cookies are evil. A sure way to blow a diet.  I ate about 6 tea biscuits today.  I did fit them into my calorie count.   Don't buy them and you won't be tempted.  You have about 5 different types, that must mean 5 bags.  If you can't control yourself don't buy in such bulk.   

I think I have a brownie fetish. Best way I know is to keep em outta the house.

But then I found an amazing easy recipe I can make in 5 minutes and throw in the oven.

How bout using the cookie as a reward. If you can get through the week without giving into a single sugar craving you can have a great big gooey cookie to celebrate. But only one, then you have to wait til the next week.

One of the best (nutrition wise) cookies I have found is 100% whole grain fig newtons. 130 cals, 2.5 g fat, 2 g of fiber, 15 g of sugar for two cookies.  CC nutrition analysis gives them an A.  If you can hold yourself to two cookies it is not that bad.  I love them.

I also love cookies.  I have a hard time controlling how many I eat so I avoid them completely including avoiding the cookie aisles in the grocery store. 

     I am a cookie-holic, also.   So far what works for me (lost 9lbs since May 1, about 35 to go) is a Kashi cookie with skim milk or a mug of coffee for my p.m. snack.  1 cookie with 1/2 c milk is about 150 calories and has protein, calcium & fiber.  They're kind of expensive, too which helps in making one cookie satisfy for a snack.  The whole grain fig newtons are great, too.

Its okay, I've eaten way more extra calories than that in a day, so don't feel fat. Just go back to your normal diet and excersize plan and put it behind you like it never happened so you don't end up in a vicous cycle like me. My weight = my life.

I find there is nothing wrong with the love of a good cookie.  I switched to shortbread myself.  If you buy the right kind, they are richer so it's impossible to eat a lot of them.  and when dunked in tea of coffee, they are even better.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I didn't buy the cookies; they were laid out on platters at an awards ceremony I went to. If there's something I can't resist more than cookies, it's FREE cookies!
