You hit the nail on the head, though, because the issue isn't so much
about the number of points, or going over points. For me, the loss of

find it easier to say No to the first bite than to stop once I've

My weaknesses are meat, potatoes, bread. Don't care much for sweets or
chocolate. When cooking something that I really like for myself really,
I only buy one serving cause if there's more, I WANT it, and it calls to
me until I give in. Needless to say, I try to stick with very simple
dinners. I also can't buy Special K bars as I'll eat the whole package
in one go. Tried getting them for the office, didn't work.

Right now I've got two huge boxes of chocolates in the my closet for the
kids for Christmas, doesn't bother me at all. However, I can't buy my
herring until the day before as they will definitely not last, a jar can
disappear in no time.

This is an interesting thread, thanks Lee for suggesting it.

Yeah, I know about Flexpoints. And believe me, I use 'em. But I'd
rather use activity points than Flexpoints.

It's funny, I'm at that same point now too. Although, this week the flexpoints
seem to have been used more than the activity points. Guess it makes up for all
those activity points I DIDN'T use last week. But the dang scale didn't care
today. sigh

Honestly, the main reason I avoid having things like this in the house
is that after the 1st day or two of being good and eating just one per
day, something flips and I have a hard time controlling the urge to
eat them all at once. I've decided I'm just no longer interested in
beating myself up or wondering what's wrong with me when I'm not able
to practice restraint... I take the easy way out and just don't allow
them in the house.

I do understand, and if you have that problem then you are better off keeping them
out of the house. The skinny cows don't bother me, nor do the meringues. 1
package of skinny cows will honestly stay in my freezer close to a month ... and
the meringues don't go too much faster (unless my daughters friend gets into
them). Bring a cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, stuff like that
anywhere near me .. and forget it ... I'm toast.

Nightly napping to avoid the evening snack, eh? From what you've said
in other posts about competing for time on your new computer, I'd say
those naps serve a dual purpose. LOL

You might have me confused with someone else, I don't have to fight for computer
time. There are 5 computers networked together in my house - I will not share!
LOL Really, my computer is used for the business and the kids are only allowed on
it for sheer desperation - things they can't do on their own. This way, if
anything should go wrong with it, there is no possibility of me getting angry at
them. And if they each have schoolwork or whatever to be done, they aren't
fighting where I have to listen to it. g The napping tends to be from either
exhaustion (my late hour habit) or stress .. or a combo of both. I don't go on
the computer in the early evening, hub likes me to keep him company. I get bored
with the tv, it puts me to sleep. So about 3 or 4 hours on the couch and I'm up
all night ... catch about 2 - 3 hours of sleep before I have to get up in the
morning. It's a bad cycle that I do need to break - but I really do love my quiet
hours in the dark. g

My DH spends most of his waking hours in his "room", repairing or making

mostly, but also metalwork and woodwork at times. Repairs all kinds of
electronic stuff, from computers, motherboards to kettles, lamps, and the

Aren't those few hours wonderful. Nicholas is usually in bed by 7:00 and DH
by 9:00 or so, then I get the place to myself for an hour or so before I go

though. If I stayed awake as late as you I wouldn't be able to function the

My weaknesses are meat, potatoes, bread. Don't care much for sweets or
chocolate. When cooking something that I really like for myself really,
I only buy one serving cause if there's more, I WANT it, and it calls to
me until I give in. Needless to say, I try to stick with very simple
dinners. I also can't buy Special K bars as I'll eat the whole package
in one go. Tried getting them for the office, didn't work.

Right now I've got two huge boxes of chocolates in the my closet for the
kids for Christmas, doesn't bother me at all. However, I can't buy my
herring until the day before as they will definitely not last, a jar can
disappear in no time.

This is an interesting thread, thanks Lee for suggesting it.
