Man I love those oreos!

I was craving chocolate and couldn't get it off my mind.....I was so wanting some yummy oreos...So I am proud to say I ate only 3. Okay that isn't great but I usually eat about 10! I stopped at 3.....wanting more so much but I stopped and now I am satisfied.......

DANG oreos are so dang YUMMY to me!

Michelle

When I start eating Oreos I can not stop. Good for you for only eating three! There must be something addictive in there for me...

Great job! How did you do it? Did you take out three and put the bag away or were you able to stop at three with the whole bag in front of you. Horray for moderation!

Oreos are crack cocaine if you ask me. If I just have three I am still jonesing. I just cannot have them anywhere near me or I seriously fall off the wagon with black crumbs all in my teeth.

hahaha!

Michelle I have to tell you how sincerely impressed I am with your willpower! As people have said... I don't know what it is about them but oreos tend to have some sort of magnetic force just saying EAT ME EAT ME... JUST ONE... and then another... and then another... hahaha

Props for eating 3! You're great motivation to keep it all in moderation! =)

You guys would LOVE the oreo cream cheese balls I made for Xmas treats.  Covered in chocolate almond bark.  One of those satisfies me!  MMMM, mMMM...

if you need a chocolate fix, try some 60% cacao or higher dark chocolate. its full of flavanol antioxidants &fiber! its as good as chocolate gets!

I just took three out and put them up and walked away. That was quite an accomplishment..........and tonight I only had 2 left in the package and I ate them. Those things are the most delicious things in the free world. I love oreos like a druggie likes their drug. I know I shouldn't buy them......but hey I gotta have them and besides I eat No candy, no ice cream...actually nothing like that......but oreos are my weak spot..... Heck I better shut up all of this oreo talk is making me want to drive to the store....he he

yea im very proud of you for having only 3! you told yourself you would do something, &you stuck to it, kudos. yea i dont believe in all that jumbo about not having anything junky! i think you should have some junky foods. just not too much. haha

Yes,  I'm happy to hear that there are other people who crave oreos and are being restrained about them!  Somehow I've gotten to be overweight without eating really bad food -- just that when I did eat badly I was like a binge drinker and would eat really badly.  Then go back to being healthy for a while again.  And oreos were the one thing where I'd go completely overboard and go through a whole bag of cookies in 2 or 3 days.   So the idea of having them in moderation is like an alien language to me.  I'm going to try the idea of having a small amount of dark chocolate sometimes as a treat, because that's something I think I can eat in moderation.  Maybe in a month I'll experiment with the 3 oreos.  Right now I know that if I have them in the house I won't be able to leave them alone after just 3.  I used to put them away and then go back later and open them up again--all evening long.  I agree that they are so yummy and addicting.  Congratulations Michelle on your moderation!

There's only one way I've ever been able to eat just three... if there's only three left. Oreos are like crack! ... maybe a secret ingredient?

They sell Oreos in Japan but I seldom buy them.

 

But a friend in the states sent us a care package at Xmas with these things from Trader Joe's called "Joe-Joes" they are basically Oreas, but with crushed candy canes mixed into the cream part. Oh. My. God. Minty Oreos have to be the most unbelievably delicious substance ever known. I had five in a row one day. I can resist Oreos prety well, but please don't send me Joe-Joes!

 

Before I watched what I ate, I used to make them into "Double Stufs" then dunk them in milk and eat like 10 at a time.  But I pretty much avoid them now... 

Good Girl! I am glad you stopped @ just 3, after all that is a serving size! So I think that equals roughly 150 calories! Perfect snack size! I do hope you SEALED the bag of oreos so you cannot get back into them! haha!

 

I too am so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has a problem with oreos.  Once I start I can't stop.  And what I don't get is that they never fill me up.  I can eat a whole row of them and keep going, even if I'm drinking something with them.  They never seem to expand in my stomach and fill it up.  LOL......  One thing that has helped me lately with stuff like that is I keep it in a baby-proof cabinet that locks automatically when you close it, so you need a magnet to re-open it.  So it kind of makes it inconvenient to get go the mangnet to open the cabinet (maybe I should try hiding the magnet or having a family member hide it....lol).

One thing I like when I crave chocolate that doesn't make me feel so guilty is fat-free/sugar-free hot chocolate.  It's only around 50 calories a cup.  I add a dash of Splenda and drink it while eating my 100 calorie popcorn pack and I have a 150 calorie snack that is VERY filling, and takes care of my salty & sweet craving at the same time.  I wish I had some now in this cold weather (it's stormy here in So. Cal).

 

Ya i have a prob. with oreos too! Thankfully my mom buys the "twins" packs of oreos that come in packs of 2 so that helps :)

I buy the convenience packs of Oreo cookies.  They have 6 cookies in a package.  I take about 20 - 30 minutes to finish the package.

I only have one pack for the day.

There is nothing better than oreos SOAKED in milk...ahh here come the cravings! haha

Luckily my family finished em off tonight so I can't go get some, I don't know if I'd be as strong as Michelle and only have 3... =P

Before I changed my eating habits I used to take a cup of milk, stack oreos in it and set a spoon on top to hold them under, than I would eat them once they started getting soft...YUMMY!

By the way, the dark chocolate thing does work with cravings!  I believe I have 70% dark cocoa bars...I bought 3 of them about a year ago and have just gotten through one of them! (I only eat a square every couple weeks...VERY rarely! Sometimes not even that often though) but if I get a craving it kills it big time!

oh MAN!! that sounds like me with DORITTOS!!!  It's hard to open a bag and just eat a few.  :(

Great job though!!  3 is WAY better than eating 10 or more :D

You stopped at three?! That's amazing! Your self control and resolve are admirable (I suck at stopping with anything sweet!)

mmmm...i looove oreos!! theyre sooo addictive and its goes really good with crunchy peanut butter! luckily i manage to stop at the 4th one as im usually to full to carry on lol...i think its the peanut butter that really fills me up. if i was having oreos on its own id probably hav about 10!
