Oh my goodness, yes! I totally know what you feel with this…any time I try to bake something myself, I end up going crazy with it.
The other day I made cookies and had rules to keep myself in check- no tasting dough until the cookies were IN THE OVEN- but as soon as I started eating them I went insane.
And the next day, despite my “good” plans, I went even crazier! I was already in that weird mind-set and baked a whole lot of food, and made myself feel sick doing it.

But…my plan is to eat the foods that are good for me, which I truly do enjoy, and workout a good amount, and get over it.
And maybe next time I feel like baking…call you or something. And you’ll talk me out of it. Right? Ha ha

whenever I have a sweet binge my mom says to never regret it but to just get back on track with healthy eating, which I personally love. I’ve also learned that if I “accidentally” eat half of the cake I made to just drink some water and exercise a bit once I digest it.

with love and cupcakes,
cookteen!

This could not have come at a better time! I just baked thanksgiving cookies with my suitemates and lets just say I had welllll over a serving of M&M’s…..those huge bags can be dangerous I will admit that I’m beating myself up about it, but I’m off to have a nice workout with the mindset that it’s perfectly normal to go overboard once in a while

Thanks for the tips. I still need to work on that not beating myself up thing.

Those are really good tips. So many people deal with binge, and its easy forget that EVERYone does it.

Thanks so much for the post about overindulging. I had one myself with some mini pumpkin spice cupcakes I made on Monday. I try to do the same as your advice, but from time to time I do beat myself up pretty badly. I need to remember that if happens from time to time, I overall eat very healthy and the occasional slip up is ok!

Sweet carby goodies are delicious! I’d eat them all day, everyday if I could

When I overindulge, I just move on. The past is the past. I don’t try to compensate for it because I think that creates an unhealthy balance. However, your cookies look so good I don’t blame you for eating them!!

Not very well!! But at 46 with a job that requires me to sit-down most of the day – overindulging can mean MANY extra pounds!! It is depressing!!
