I have no will power....or do I??

There are certain foods that I have absolutely no self control with. Ruffles potato chips, Little Debbie snacks, Girl Scout cookies, and Oreos. I can snack on them mindlessly for hours and not even think twice about it. For Valentine's day, I'm making dinner for Ben and cappuchino cheesecake is for dessert. And of course the crust is made out of Oreos. I was unpacking my groceries and put the oreos in my pantry thinking out of sight, out of mind. Gosh was I wrong!! I could hear them calling my name. Taunting me and just begging to be opened. Of course I had to go rescue them. I took out a serving (3 cookies) and logged the nutrition in my log. No sooner had I finished those off that I felt the urge to go more. Instead of giving into the delicious little creme filled things, I took out how many I needed for the crust, sealed up the bag, and took them over to the boys (Ben, Jeff, and Lansing.) I know it sounds ridiculous, but I was so proud of myself! Lifestyle change here I come!!!

That cracked me up! "Taunting me and just begging to be opened". Funny!!!
I love that you were so honest in this post. I'm like a closet snacker. Even to myself sometimes I won't admit my weaknesses. Way to admit it and conquor it!! So so proud of you.

Ummm...I just made puppy chow and now I have a tummy ache from eating too much. I guess I'm the one without will power.
