what do you do when you've allowed yourself a cookie as a treat, but then you want more?

Question

i'm on a diet, and sometimes i allow myself something small, like a cookie, as a treat. but then i get this really strong urge to eat more. what do you do when that happens or what would you suggest i do?

Answer 1

Tell your self if you lose _______ pounds you can have another. Every time you achieve this goal keep going but give your self a smaller part of the treat until you fight the urge.

Answer 2

Control the urge. Control is the single most effective trick in effective dieting. But it will help if you drink a lot of water with the cookie. Be sure it's a low calorie cookie!

Answer 3

i never keep anything that might tempt me at home. if i want something sweet i go to the store, read labels get the smallest package (sometimes the cheapest one), open it as soon as i have left the store, take one cookie and throw the rest in closest garbage can before i had time to change my mind. so i enjoy my cookie and feel good of not having more.

Answer 4

I have recently read that if you smell the cookie, then eat a small bite this is supposed to help curb your appetite.

Answer 5

What I do, I drink a lot of water and then I am feel full because of the water. Another thing you can is eat a veggie because they have no fat or calories.

Answer 6

this is what you do... throw them in the trash immediately...and of course drown them in dish soap....incase you decide to dig them back out.....and next time don't buy a whole box, buy in individual size.... but if they are for you family and you can't resist....resist anyways if you think you have no control....cause sometimes...once you go there....you GO there.. and it's not pretty.
