Oh Nancy I'm right there with you. That's one reason I'm suspicious of this eating plan, I wonder if maybe it works well for people who don't have that sort of "addictive" reaction to sweets or whatever the particular food is. It really is almost impossible for me to have just one chocolate, or one cookie, or one bite of ice cream. I guess I'm lucky that I don't eat huge huge quantities, but if I have a little I'll always have at least a moderate portion, and often more than moderate. For instance, there are my favorite Sees candies in the lounge room. Yesterday over the course of the day I ate 8 of them (640 calories) - I had sworn to limit myself to 2. Today I swore not to have any. WELL around 11 I decided maybe just 1. Well of course 1 has now become 4 and the box is empty or it would have been worse.
AND every time I ate a chocolate yesterday, I asked myself "Am I really hungry? Is this what I really really want??" and my brain screamed YES YES YES!!!! LOL.
I may have to just stay on the "good girl diet", I'm not sure I could handle this much freedom...
