I just ate 6 sugar free chocolate chip cookies

Way to keep it real Sandy.  We each know ourselves and if we continue to be honest and real, we will deal with each situation in the way that is best for us!  If flushing the rest of the cookies was what you knew was best for you, then more power to you for making the best decision for you at the time.

I live with a teenage son and a husband with a sweet tooth so not having the ``goodies`in my house is not an option for me. I operate on the 80/20 rule and hope to make good choices more often than not.

I work hard to maintain my weight within a 3-5 lb range but I have to admit that Christmas and the holiday goodies are making it difficult. But like you said.....I shall win this battle and hope to ultimately win the war.

I agree that the shorter days and lack of sunshine don`t help. I`m a much happier and stronger person in the summer.

Hugs and keep up the fight.  Muriel
