Well, bake cookies, I did. Why? I had 2 boys fighting over the Wii. The words just came out "Want to make cookies?" Instantly, I had 2 participants & the 3rd got the Wii all to himself.
Now I have a container full of cookies. I am practicing self control. I had one batch that got browner than the others. Naturally, they don't taste as good. So when I can't resist the urge to pop the lid off & have one ... I make myself go for the brown ones. Then when it tastes not nearly as bad as I thought it would, I let myself have another. Again, only from the brown batch. Then if I feel up to a 3rd, I do reward myself with a lighter, softer one [for being so disciplined & choosing the brown ones]. Lastly, when the kids at lunch time [SNOW DAY!] each ask if they can have a cookie, I say "Yes. You can have 2." [Get them the heck out of here!] And that, my friends, is how I keep myself from eating more cookies. Self control.
