Re: I don't trust myself...

That is frustrating. I'm working on the same problem with my homemade chocolate

chips cookies (which are famous by the way. Just sayin') When I make a batch, I

can't stay out of the dough or the cookies, if they ever become cookies.

Sometimes I think it helps to just sit down with some cookies and eat them

slowly and taste every morsel and stay very present, then get up and do

something else for awhile. If I eat any more, I usually feel sick, and doing

something else helps occupy my mind and get the taste out of my mouth. Try

brushing you teeth and going for a walk after you eat. This takes a lot of

practice and I'm definitely still working on it, but it helps a lot.

wanted a granola bar. but I used to eat a whole box in one sitting so I won't

keep them around. I had to stop at a gas station and get a single granola bar.

I just wish I could trust myself enough to keep certain foods around.

I don't have a lot of things I like to eat in the house, for a lot of

reasons (cost, room, and yes, not completely trusting myself). I feel

OK about it because I tell myself that if it's something I really want

I can go out and get it anytime, even if I have to pay more for it.

I'm pretty cheap about food, so part of my IE work is telling myself

that if it's something I want to eat I should go ahead and get it, even

if it's more expensive than I'd usually spend. The other thing is

that I don't want boxes of food sitting around that I might not touch

for months. Sometimes I think I want something and it turns out I

really don't. If I want it enough to go out of my way to get it then I

guess I really do want it!
