Then foil a cookie sheet. Place a metal oven rack or grill over the cookie sheet. Then place bacon slices evenly across the grill making sure edges do not touch. Bake for about 20-30 mins at 400 degrees rotating the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.

I make this every year for Christmas breakfast and it gets eaten before I can put it on a plate for the table.

But Nuudawn, you've just given me fresh inspiration! There are probably sweet little old ladies in my area baking pies and cookies right now!!!! Thank you so much for this amazing idea!!!!

I completely understand. It's horrible, I'm dealing with it too.

I certainly wasn't making fun of eating disorders, or binging.

Clem,
Yeah, I've used the "healthy cookie" as outdoor food plan for many an outdoor adventure. I think it is in the same practical camper category as my insistence on taking a box o' wine on every outdoor adventure, because you just burn the box, see, and the wine is in a plastic bladder that is, well, just like really fancy gear... and when you're done, you just pack it out, and it is so environmentally conscious...
But, I'm right with you, cookies are good energy food. I just have to actually use all that energy up. I've somehow managed to stay at EXACTLY (and I mean to the ounce) the same weight through these four months of sobriety and quitting smoking (I think they cancelled each other out, caloric intake wise).
I haven't given up the cookies (or the pie), but I'm hyper aware of my consumption. See, the fantasy of the outdoor girl has her kind of tall and lithe. Thinking about it, um, doesn't matter how much I hike, I don't think I'm going to get taller. Maybe I'll just remain my sturdy little self, trudging up the mountainside with my thick, strong legs, packing in my backpack of yummy, energy-full cookies.

(Or is that my own cookie AV? Lol )

Like you Heartcore..despite 6 months of sobriety (less one day) and quitting nicotine, my weight is pretty much the same although this past couple weeks are concerning me. I am definitely...binge eating at this time. I did again tonight...but I know I am extremely overtired. I've been running on fumes working extra hours due to Christmas parties. I'm still adjusting to many things....
But it's time to reign it all in. My weight was actually down but I know I've gone up a few pounds in last couple weeks.
So ya..that has to end. I need to look after myself better. I think I truly need to give myself A LOT more special care and attention...and figure out what it is I really DO need...
Someone (Trach maybe) had posted a link in Flybuy's bumped thread regarding "to Thine Own Self True"; the linked article gave me much food for thought as it talked about the gut being our second brain. I have heard this notion before...and have read quite a bit about how it truly "houses" our emotional/feeling realm in many ways. I have read quite a bit of information on how digestive issues are linked to emotional repression issues...
Anyhow..this cookie/food binge thing has to end...today.

For whatever it's worth, whenever I find myself completely outta control with the sweets, I ask myself whether I'm protein deficient. I usually am. A high-protein healthy meal usually stops the binge cycle. Or at the very least, treating myself like a child, and forcing myself to eat all my peas before dessert. LOL.
