Pack the kids, go to the grocery store, and go buy those wonderful children of yours some cookies. Buy yourself some cookies. Buy your neighbors some cookies. Run through the streets, handing out cookies to everyone you see. They want them, I promise, and you’ll be performing a service to your community.
I’ve tried to skip the snack isle when I did my grocery shopping. I’ve tried setting limits on how many cookies per day I would allow myself. It never worked. When I did finally get my hands on some cookies, chips or whatever, I absolutely gorged myself on them.
What I have found is that if I have a ready supply, I never crave them because they’re always there. If I have a package of cookies lurking somewhere in my kitchen it’s comfort alone knowing that I can have them whenever I want them and it doesn’t have to be now.
It isn’t about some kind of magical willpower, it’s about knowing that I can have my cookie(s) any time I want and finding that I don’t even want them every day.
