Again with the cookies....

This past weekend I went to the "cookie walk" held at a local church in my community. All the lovely church ladies baked up apparently over 800 dozen different cookies.... The deal is you buy a small or large container and you load up with the cookies of your choice. Ya. I bought both sizes.

Saturday morning I stood outside in almost minus 20 degree weather in a line up with all the other non Christmas bakers. We stood there shivering like junkies awaiting methodone...

I think we were.
I can't stop. Too many cookies...too much time before Christmas. Breakfast, lunch and dinner...cookies...

No "off" button.

sounds like heaven.....cookies were one of those things I didn't understand when drinking....how you could choose to frivolously consume those calories and waste them rather than drink the equivalent of a bottle of wine per two large cookies.

ahem, can you spare a couple?

Think of it this way Nuu, if they are homemade they are made with real ingredients, no preservatives or artificial stuff!

P.s......I did have to throw out a bunch of lemon bars yesterday that I couldn't stop eating. I can't have sweets in the house because I can't have just one.

You are a girl after my own heart, Nuu.

I have used cookies to self-medicate my whole life. Nothing short of a diabetes diagnosis will change that practice. Creamy mashed potatoes are my go-to if no cookies are available.

You are simply terrific, Nuu.

I love this site! So far the foods for sobriety are cookies, ice cream and bacon (Judging from # of posts) and I can't disagree. Maybe we can figure out how to get these permitable binges over with by 10 am so some daily movement compensates a bit. My habit is a evening-TV-couch-munchies thing---not good for my "core".

Hello Nuudawn.

Well, I think you're more upset about the cookie binge if that's what it is, than the responses so far might suggest.
I completely understand. It's horrible, I'm dealing with it too.
