Bake Sales and Benjamin Franklin are the DEVIL!
Ok, so maybe not Ben Franklin. I just saw the movie Water Boy for the first time in forever and forgot how funny it kind of is...(kind of..:-) ).
No, I am in a mother's group and we have a bake sale today. So of course I have to bring something that will please the masses; peanut butter, chocolate chip ginormous cookies. Uhhg. I really wasn't tempted to actually eat them but the smell was incredible. It's also very hard to not instinctively lick your fingers after you get melted chocolate on them. BUT, I held strong and just baked them and packed them up. Yahoo me.
Score one small victory for team Emily
Hope everybody has a great weekend!!

well I think Water Boy is hilarious, but I love Adam Sandler so ya know.
that is awesome that you were able to do that. i would have had to "accidentally" break a cookie and eat a piece but hey I'm alot further out and I let myself have a bit of something occasionally that maybe I shouldn't but oh well.
Great Job Emily!

YAY YOU! Congrats on being strong and resisting that temptation! its ooooohh so hard!!
Once a week we have a pot-luck at work and like you said- you have to make something which will please the masses. Of course i dont eat anything at the pot-luck but i usually offer to bring something. Luckily im a pretty picky eater so i just always make something that i, myself dont like. Last week i was on board to bring a dessert so i just made brownies with walnuts ( YUCK! WALNUTS hah) to keep myself from taking that little bite haha. the hard part was getting those walnuts into the batter before i took a lick! hahaha

This is slightly off topic, but have you tried making a bariatric friendly cookie? I've seen a few recipes around, some of them with added protein, although I haven't tried them. At least I know I've seen low sugar, low fat chocolate chip cookies. You could try adding PB2 (http://www.bellplantation.com/), which is actually really good and my nutritionist recommends. They press all the oil out of the peanuts, turning it into a powder that is low fat, high protein. It can then be mixed with water which turns into a peanut butter like paste that tastes very similar.
Good job on resisting those bad sweets though, at times it can almost be torture...
