Which is what I intended to imply. Generally, those who use other people's money are less careful about using it efficiently.
or maybe uneducated?

So have a cookie once in a while if it is homemade. Just stash them 5 miles from your house.
You obviously need more people in your house to fight over the cookies with. Anyways, that's what happens here. Or maybe it's only me fighting over the cookies and others giving me what I want? Nobody likes to see me cookie-deprived.See, I'd try that, but I know that it wouldn't work. It should be "Just stash them 5 miles from your house, hide the keys to the truck and the motorcycle, saw all of your bicycles in half with a hacksaw, threaten your housemates if they ever offer to give you a lift and cut off your legs and mail them to Peru." That'd probably keep me out of the cookies

Huh, I may have to try that tonight only I would leave out the walnuts and use raisins or something like that.Cookies made from wholegrain flour, raw cane sugar (or honey), organic eggs, real butter (as opposed to hydrogenated oils) and crushed Walnuts in place of chocolate chips are also delicious, have also lots of calories, but they are not junk food and the craving does not go on and on and on. And even if you should eat the whole lot, your body will be happy to use these good carbs, good fats and good proteins!
What?! Replace the chocolate chips?!Hello Running Pirate,
what's the problem with eating homemade cookies? The calories or the "junk food" components (i.e. white flour, white sugar, chocolate chips with sugar and weird fats...)?
In my experience, the craving is accentuated by the junk ingredients, even if they are homemade.

I'm at this stage with intermittent fasting at the moment - I know I'm not feeling as good as when I fast, it is a bit of a mental hurdle to get back into it, but I'm confident that concentrating on how I feel now & how much better I could feel will get me back on track.
It is apparent that these cookies hold great power over you. Are they the Girl Scout Thin Mints? So, we must embrace the fact that you are not going to give them up. Therefore, just reduce some other bad calories in your diet to offset the cookie damage. I do this with a certain bubbly beverage that I enjoy. In the winter when I can't burn off the calories, I just starve myself of other food whether good or bad. Priorities you know.

Should you be seeking the cookies anonymous support group?
It's called Overeaters Anonymous, actually. Hi, my name is RunningPirate... Admittedly, I stopped going when I realized I had to give up cookies, because screw that (Hell, I gave up booze already, haven't done any drugs in years and I've been weaning myself off of coffee....I'm pretty much down to impure thoughts )
Sure bout this? the way you behave and all makes one wonder
You just need to start baking - not only do you get to control the ingredients, you can offset a few calories properly beating the butter & sugar & then you get to look generous by sharing them out (no need to tell anyone this is just a move to stop you scoffing the lot yourself). (Me sign up for cookie eaters anonymous? But I can stop anytime I like...)
Well, if you are chocolate-addict, you could try to replace the chocolate chips with pure unsugared cocoa - that way you still get your favorite drug with its nice effects on neuronal synapses but without the junk (white sugar, fats, additives etc.) you would find in ordinary chocolate (chips or otherwise).What?! Replace the chocolate chips?!
