Y'all gave me the courage ...
... to smash up the cookies and pour them in the garbage!
It was a multi-step process, as first I bagged them up to throw away. Nope, I was back at them before you know it. Then I smashed them up with my fist. Nope, I ate crumbs. Finally, just now, I was able to pour the whole lot in the garbage, and while I *have* been known to eat things out of the garbage in years past, UUUUHHHH, there are bugs and vacuum cleaner filth down in there today, HA!
Why, you might ask, did I have cookies in the first place? We had a potluck after church today, and I thought cookies would be safe, as no one EVER leaves any cookies on a plate. Today I couldn't give them away for love nor money! Yes, I should have thrown them in the garbage at church, but I couldn't do it, sigh....
Thanks so much, everyone, for your support as I try to beat this new sugar / carb addiction that I re-developed in the hospital and nursing home. I am completely off the ice cream that the *doctor* made me promise to eat; lactose intolerance is a wonderful thing in its place! Sugar-free popsicles are my best friend.
And to answer what someone asked, my weight has not gone up much. Even though my ticker says 140, I stabilized in the 140s before the hospital, got down to about 122 while I was sick, regained up to the 140s, and now I'm staying at about 150, plus or minus a couple of pounds. 150 makes me VERY nervous. Anything under, as long as it is because of healthy moderate eating, is fine.
Thanks again for your support :-)

If I have to get it outta my house, I have to cover it in funk too, my girlie!! :}
In this book I read a lot it had quotes by different people who had been on diets forever n whatnot and one lady said..
When I throw things in the trash, I usually spray Raid on it. But you have to look out, because Raid does not taste that bad. *chuckle*
You got rid of the cookies right now, later they will not come home with you - one step at a time baby!!
We love you girlie! I am so proud on you! I know you are proud on you too!!
yay, this is a major victory. on the right road you are. next time take a healthy treat to the church event. my favorite thing to take to pot lucks is cubes of cheese and olives with those fancy toothpics in them. no work. always eaten. glad you are doing better. D
