Great advice on how to stop a binge…
Challenges May 17th, 2008My diet coach, Sandra Ahten (also see links on the side) sent this in the daily email the other day - and I loved it!
“When I buy cookies I eat just four and throw the rest away. But first I spray them with Raid so I won’t dig them out of the garbage later. Be careful, though,because that Raid really doesn’t taste that bad.” — Janette Barber
I actually did this months ago - although I used mustard, and called the entry “cookies in mustard sauce” - still, it’s a great strategy!
Luckily for me this week it’s been fairly easy to stick to healthy eating, the overeating I’ve done has been mainly around roasted vegetables or the fruit bowl at a meeting yesterday - a big improvement from a few weeks ago!

good job on eating roasted vegatables and the fruit at your meeting. At least that is healthy and filling.
Great job! Keep strong!
Have a great weekend!

This is a great idea! & with food prices being so very high right now, if I know this is what will end up happening to the cookies (or whatever), I’ll be less likely to spring for a whole box in the first place!
Thanks for the tip!

while the concept is great, with rising prices/increasing hunger problems, like bigprof, maybe it’ll be an incentive for me not to buy the cookies in the first place
I pull the “let’s play hostess to co-workers and friends” trick. Food always disappears when you have friends around
