Yes, it is an almost impossible task for a cook not to try their goods. I struggle with cheese and pasta, a little is never enough so I cut both out of my diet entirely and when I don't eat them I'm fine but a little can easily turn into a binge.BeckyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299485277945466039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628675595137543523.post-35851485880368847732012-03-05T22:32:29.111-08:002012-03-05T22:32:29.111-08:00Hopefully we will learn this time!Hopefully we will learn this time!Virtual Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476229880897604084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628675595137543523.post-37375383457967869812012-03-05T22:31:39.223-08:002012-03-05T22:31:39.223-08:00Yep sugar is my drug.Yep sugar is my drug.Virtual Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476229880897604084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628675595137543523.post-76843205484574373492012-03-05T22:30:40.535-08:002012-03-05T22:30:40.535-08:00Yep, to my brain there is no little bit.

If sweets are in the house it's all I can think about it, and I will eat it - all of it! My brain does not give me the option of just having one little bite and moving on - I'm just not there yet....maybe I never will be. :( So, I do my best to not have any kind of sweets in my house.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467773470034507122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628675595137543523.post-79499171826211175052012-03-05T18:14:53.611-08:002012-03-05T18:14:53.611-08:00That's me to a tee.

Most of these foods are high in sugar!<br />So my husband and I have made a pact together neither of us will bring anything in the house that may trigger the other person to binge. So far so good.<br />What I have done this week is to buy some new containers and when I go grocery shopping I fill half the containers with a mix of veggies and the other half with a mix of fruits. When we need to snack we just go to the fridge and pull out a container!
