SUGAR FREE COOKIES? Who Knew?

Ok, ya'll. I just discovered sugar free cookies at our american commisary here in Germany. Shortbread cookies and I think I am addicted. Thanks to the nice women in my WLS support group for the tip. GROAN!! I literally ate a whole bag of them while at work the other day!! First, I couldn't believe I could eat that much then, cookies? Shortbread cookies? What is wrong with me?? Anyway, I am also eating pretzels like they are gonna become illegal any day!! Anyone have any hope or help for me? Thanks, Jacqueline

I had some sugar free oreo type cookies and boy did i get sick... as for me i am staying away from them...Pretzels and chips are my biggest weekness... I don't have hope for you since i am doing the pretzels and chips.. this is not a good day for me I already ate too much... but that's ok..i will make up for it tonight.. but good luck too you!

I feel the same way today that I ate too much. I was surprized. I swear - But Like you I too will make up for this. let's get going. We could do this Koukla

I have looked at those packages and thought to myself " am I going to be able to eat just one ? " then I put it back on the shelf. I have been getting the wheat thins , reduced fat. But for me the best way to resist temptation is not to have it in my house. And that is hard because there are still kids here, hubby too. Last weekend I had two cakes in the house for my sons birthday. He likes choc and everybody else likes yellow. And I am patting myself on the back because I did not have any...I had a sugar free popsicle but that was it. Sandy

I saw them at the store too and didn't buy them. I know they would go down too easily. So I didn't buy them either. I know me. one would never be enough. Proud of you for the cake thing. The popsicle was more refreshing. Koukla

I do my dead-level best to avoid carbs...except a little dab (1/4 apple or pear) of fruit each day and a few veggies. I find that if I have more than 1 cup of ANY kind of carb in a day's time, I am OUT OF CONTROL. So, boring as it is, I stick to protein all the time and first. Then I have just a bit of green beans or collards or okra or broccoli, etc. I don't trust myself with cookies. It's hard enough to stay on the straight and narrow without adding those to my temptations. If they're on the shelf in the grocery store, I can't eat them! HTH. Pam 282/152/145

I like the southbeach chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I seem to be able to eat 1-2 a week BUT I had to throw out the sourcream onion cheeze -its, if I eat 1 I have to eat 100 - *****es why do they have to tempt me so . Micha

I know about the SF cookies. We have a few brands here that they sell. BUT, I won't buy them. I know that there's more fat content in them to make up for the SF and I will dump on the fat. Or get diarrahea from them. DH, who had his surgery on June 20th just mentioned to me about them last night, and I warned him about them. I just can't bring them into the house, cause I'll want to eat them. I will just have a regular cookie, a piece of one to get that taste and be done with it. I dumped big time on Pringles last week. I had a huge handful and man was I sick. Thank GOD! I don't want to see another chip for a while now! Pretzels have been calling me since early out. I love them, always have and I just don't buy them anymore. I do love reduced fat Wheat Thins or Tirscuits, but, limit myself to only once or twice a week. I've found that if I get on the carb wagon, I can't stop. I've been doing lean dense protein with a fresh veggie like squash or zucchini. Hang in there, Jacqueline...just give yourself a treat of this stuff once in a while, buy a package, eat a few, then crush them up and pour dish soap all over them so you can't go back for them... paula
