It appears you have found what is called a "trigger food"! The only way around this problem is to not have them around. In your home (if you have the support of your family), eat one and throw the rest out immediately or at the very least get your family members to find them away.
When at work, water load instead of eating any of them. The water will trick your pouch into feeling full. The only thing you will face then is the brain which you can control by looking at a picture of yourself at your heaviest and realizing it is cookies and other things that put you into that shape.
If that does not work, then get up and go for a walk. Keep them out of your sight and keep drinking water!
I know the feelings you are having but you have to remember all that you have sacificed to get to the point you are at today.
It happened to me at work.. someone there bought in chocolate covered pretzles & someone else brought in pepperidge farms entertainer's selection of decadent shortbread & chocolate cookies... & PUT THEM ACROSS FROM MY DESK!! The cookies are lower in sugar than most & not too big, so of course I didnt dump when i ate one, that led to 3 & 4.... forget it with the pretzles... i love pretzles & am trying hard to break that addiction.. crunch, salt, doesn't hurt the pouch... problem with pretzles is that most women where i work love them too!! so here are always bags of pretzles out & about..
instead of sitting & eating at lunch time, i now go to our companies gym most days of the week.. 25 mins of intense cardio has helped me... But i do feel guilty & am afraid I've opened pandora's box!!!!

Fantastic! You will certainly not regret the decision. Since my surgery on Nov. 25th, I have dropped over 30 lbs! I go in for my 30 day follow-up on Nov. 29th and will be moved to the Stage 3 diet and get my official weight loss total.
Just remember after surgery to follow doctors orders to the letter. Most anything you desire during your diet time will be driven by "head hunger" and not real hunger. Keep up with your fluid intake which is very important!
Drop me a note and let me know how it goes.
I had surgery with Dr. Chua 4 1/2 years ago, and I now am a regular speaker volunteer at his seminars every month, so you will see me on January 8th! I attended 3 other seminars before his when I started, and none of them felt "right". He has been doing this for so long and has such a fantastic team of people working with him that, although at times it feels like you're jumping through hoops, it's all for a reason. He's fantastic at getting insurance companies to approve, and most importantly, by the time you reach the operating table, you are so very prepared and knowledgeable about your future new life, that complications are ssmall. It is true that you don't see him until you are nearing your date and surgery choice. But he does this so the nutritionist, psychologist, etc. can assure him that you are a good candidate and that you are fully prepared for this life changing surgery. He's very caring, soft-spoken, but open, honest, and ALWAYS there for his patients. If you feel comfortable enough, I'd love to meet you in January! But check out my profile if you want, and you'll then get to recognize me from the photo's. You can always contact me here as well! Happy holidays and see you in January!
