Yep....for me too. Sometimes stalling really works. I will literally tell myself (sometimes out loud...thank goodness I work from home)..."okay self, if you still really truly want that x in an hour, we'll go have it."
Most of the time, an hour later...I've decided against it.
For me, eating sweets or chips or whatever can just start the ball rolling...and I'm better off to just not get it started. That's one of the reasons I'm thinking my co-worker's eating plan might be a good one for me....lots of food, lots of crunching, dressing on my salad (as long as I make it from healthy oil myself), nuts to snack on....and it's just plain ol' mega healthy eating, which I know would keep my feet attached and my eyes seeing better than any number of artificially sweetend treats even if I stuck to the points or calories or whatever.
Can I be perfect and never have a treat while I'm eating like that? Nope; I'm old enough to know myself better than that. But, if I can eat like that most days...then I'd be the healthier for it.
