Help! Want to bake, not eat.
| Thu, 09-18-2008 - 10:52pm |
I need some encouragement. I bake to de-stress, celebrate, and to cheer up - sooo, I'm on a baking spree right now and my favorite fall back is desserts. Currently I have enough for 3 to 4 batches of peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough - sadly the dough makes about 3.5 dozen cookies. YIKES. I already ate too many, so I need some words to remind myself baking is ok, eating is not. I have people I can track down to eat them for me, but I have a munchig problem. I can't not eat at all, because I taste the dough before I get ready to bake since I don't follow a recipe exact for these cookies.
Blah I don't want to put another cookie in my mouth, but my hands have a mind of their own. Help me.





I know I'm a little late on this, but some of my tricks include brushing my teeth, filling up on water, providing myself with something else to chew on - popcorn, cucumber slices, etc.

I didn't think about brushing my teeth or filling up on water! :-P I will tomorrow when I bake the rest of them. I also have people who I promised cookies to so that's helpful. My weight went up sadly though - but hey, I can always get back in gear this weekend. Though what I really need to do is get my housework and schoolwork in gear too.
Thanks for the suggestions!

This may be too late, but here goes....as someone who gets great enjoyment out of baking, I can relate all too well. Some tricks I use:
