Quest Bar "Training Treats"

If you've trained a dog, you've probably cut up dog treats into little pieces as a training reward.  How is this related to VSG?  I cut up my first Quest bars into little cubes to have around while I was preparing for yet another sugar, carb, fat, wonderfully delicious food event at my church.

They looked just like dog treats, especially after I put them in little snack bags, just like I do dog treats!

Oh well!  I just tried not to think of them as food rewards for avoiding all my favorite southern desserts! Whatever works, right?

Great idea! Good problem solving and thinking ahead!
Way to go!

Woof!

I just bought them yesterday for the first time.
I had to throw them out. Horrible taste!

LOL -- I worried that I would accidentally pick up the wrong baggie and actually eat a dog treat!  I had pieces of cinnamon roll, brownie and PB/Chocolate.  The brownie was OK - the other two were more like dog treats!

That's a great idea!! Will put it in my bag of tricks! Thanks for sharing....

My "treat" when I have a batch of baking to do is a measured spoonful of peanut butter that I take a lick of every once in awhile. It has enough flavour that it distracts me from what I secretly want to do. (Eat ALL the cookie dough!)

I'm pretty much always under my fat allotment for the day, so it's a totally allowed "treat."

If peanut butter isn't doing it for me I count out 3-5 sugarless candies and make 'em last...

Good for you that you're able to portion out small bites and be satisfied. I eat a Quest bar and I find it so difficult to eat it slowly and to stop after only one. 

The apple pie flavor especially has me whipped. :-(
