Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.

    A cookie.

    Pro tip:

    Grab a cookie, close the packaging or container, go somewhere else, then eat the cookie. You will want another cookie but not enough to actually go back and re-open the packaging.

    Alternatively, eat something more nutritious first, then set a specific amount of cookies you’re allowed to eat. Also, brush your teeth after eating sweet food, such as cookies.

      That’s how i lost 10 lbs.

      1. Buy less snacks. Say no once at the grocer instead of every day.
      2. If you do have some then they stay in the kitchen. You serve yourself the serving size. Leave the kitchen and eat the cookie. Easier to say no to getting another.

      I’ve also found less-overly-sweet cookies help, both in terms of not craving them as badly and actually somewhat filling you up compared to the amount of calories you consume.

      Unfortunately, it’s quite tricky to find such cookies in the shops.
