Wet blanket day! 72 degrees, in the aftermath of some rain, and cloudy. Walked the typical 3.1 miles with my Collie (2.4 of it with my Lab).
DH and I had a discussion about his WONDERFUL homemade chocolate chip cookies last night. Ever since Christmas-time, he's been talking about making them, and we bought a couple ingredients we needed. But we had so much other stuff around during the holidays, he didn't need to make them. Of course, now that we're supposed to be firmly back on our normal WOE, those cookies don't fit in.
Last night, he was thinking of making them but said that he knew he'd feel awful after eating them....not physically, but just guilty, I guess. Still, I could tell he'd make them in a heartbeat if I showed even an inkling of encouragement. Of course, I WANTED THOSE COOKIES!!!! But from somewhere inside, a voice I didn't recognize (LOL!) said, I felt the same way too but couldn't afford to keep finding excuses to eat off-plan. Who said that????!!!!
But, it's true. I mention this a bit in my bio. It can be WAY too easy for me to find 1 excuse after another to eat off-plan.....or eat too much. Last night, it could have been cookies, then Saturday it might be special treats for the playoff game, Sunday might be going out because, after all, we had whatever it was the previous night. Then Monday, he's off, so that could lead to something else. Before you know it, I could go DAYS and then WEEKS not following the WOE I know to be best for me.
So, for today, I'll consider it a pretty darn good victory not encouraging DH to make those cookies and I'll consider it another victory that I picked up, but then PUT BACK an unopened jar of peanut butter this morning!!!!! Man, that was much harder than it ought to be.

Something about chocolate chip cookies! I wonder if they could be make with almond flour, coconut oil, etc. Still not Atkins friendly but healthier? Bet GG would know. BTW - congrats on putting back to PB this morning - Now that took willpower!

Hmmmm....c/c cookies with almond flour? I think we've got some s/f chocolate chips too....might just be the ticket. Buffy, it took SO much willpower putting that jar back. I need to find a good project today that will keep me from thinking about it later. Have a good walk at Wally World!

Please let me know if you do any experimenting? BTW - it is Friday - Wally World was a riot.

What is the deal with peanut butter? I sometimes crave it and if I see the jar, I have to really run away fast to avoid eating it. Must be the fat...

Thanks for this journal Sandy...that could have been me writing that. So very like me. I appreciate your honesty and letting us see that we are not alone in our way of thinking. Good for you!!!!

HCB, I have no idea what makes PB so special to me....don't even remember having it or wanting it as a child, so no special significance there. Then someone talked about other nut butters, so I just HAD to try those too and most, if not all, are as appealing to me as the PB!!! Yikes!!!

Jaime, it is what it is. Even Maintenance doesn't magically resolve all dietary issues, as much as I wish it did - LOL!

You my friend are sooo good to your self..I know its hard to not go ahead and give in..but I'm like you..it would lead to other giving ins..Now the peanut butter is another story..I have to keep mine behind the door in the cubbard..if its out where I can see it..I will get me a spoon full..Yummy...:O)

Sandy, so good to be back here...and your journal made me smile today! Over Christmas (well, pre Christmas really) I was 'craving' choc chip cookies (oatmeal/ch.chip) actually...so...I went for it! Well, 6-7 warm cookies later, and I was SICK! Literally. As much as I like them, after being low carb for a long time...they don't like me. I have since had the 'craving'...then the 'rememberance' of the moment...and guess what...no more craving! (really awful way to get over choc chip cookies) but hey, probably won't be over indulging on those anytime soon, now will I? Oh, and ... I just had to stop buying the PB! It was my only solution!!! Much Love.

Psssst....GG does know how, LOL, from what I remember, they were totally awesome too, as I remember them anyway, even my non low carb brother liked them, I made them as a pan bar...way quicker to the tummy that way. I know I saved the recipe as I created it. I will find & post for you! A girl need her cookie/chocolate fix now & then.

Bren, my Dh makes AWESOME choc. chip cookies.....had to leave the house when he made them at a time when I had only been on this journey a few months, or I'd have given in. If I can make a yummy alternative, it would be a great event for us! I offered to make up some pumpkin/flax cookies and got a rather pained look from him as he said, "No thanks!"

Paula, I do know what you mena about too much of a good thing not being so good anymore. My opnly issue is that I don't get that feeling until maybe 2-3 hours afterward! Maybe if I felt the bad effects within 10-20 minutes, I'd be OK. And....I'm afraid my only PB "solution" is to not buy it, too.

GG....I'm a'headin' right over to get that recipe. Anxious to give it a try!
