Breaking the Addiction

So, I'm needing a little bit of help here...or maybe a LOT! I am officially addicted to no-bake cookies. Randy hates them, I know they're horrible for me, yet I crave them daily. I'm not going to hide anything here--I make 1/4 of the recipe and eat the whole thing warm with a glass of milk. I have stopped losing weight and I'm afraid it will start going up soon if I don't make changes NOW. I typically make & eat them when I'm wanting some down time while watching TV, usually in the afternoon or evening. I know will-power alone won't cut it. Everyone caves. So, does anyone have suggestions on how I can break this addiction? I would love to have some feedback & encouragement!

you are so cute. right now I am sitting here craving (madly) peanut butter M&M's. Since I don't have any sweets in the house (which is a key if you don't want to eat them), I kinda raved my kids parade candy and had a tootsie roll instead. That doesn't have as many calories does it? Anyway, I really struggled with my weight inbetween my first and second. I was constantly baking and then eating it all myself. Now I don't have anytime to bake. So, my suggestion is to get too busy to cook those delicious no-bake cookies. Good luck.

your right on making them everyday isn't the best idea. i really love going to the gym. At one point i went 2 times a day, a little addicted. But i find i feel great and have more energy then before. plus i don't feel as bad if i eat cookies. but if you feel like you must bake, bake- then give them to the neigbhors:)

try to replace that "down time" feeling you get when you watch tv & eat the cookies with something else that will still allow yourself to feel relaxed & rejuvenated...my drug of choice? reading every afternoon & going for walks in the morning...
