Eating cookies .. how to do it for "free"
To all who've had angst over eating too many cookies...
There is no cookie count when you're eating cookie dough....or at least this is what I've decided after our Xmas Shortbread (aka LOTS of butter) cookie baking extravaganza last night. The recipe SAYS I should have yielded 2 dozen (48) cookies. Hmmmmmmm. My recipe only made 36!!!! Holy ****!! Granted I did make them bigger than the recipe called for but surely I couldn't have eaten the equivalent of 12 COOKIES with cookie dough.
....and that's when I decided there IS NO COOKIE COUNT when eating cookie dough. It's free calories, free *nutrition*, free points, free, free free :0)-
One thing's for sure. I am not stepping on the scale today.

LOL.
I always say it doesn't count if you eat off someone else's plate. If your kid doesn't finish a peice of cake, for example, you can eat the rest for free.
Oh yeah, the diet coke thing works too!

oh I heard free food doesn't count... so as long as you didn't pay for it ... it is a "free food" eat up
Sheila - I think we were typing at the same time - lol - eat, enjoy and be pregnant until your next appt when you have to step on the scale
well - I always say - its good to drink diet pop - but you do need to remember - you can get a body like this in a bottle - unless you push really hard - lol
another tip to remember - always weigh yourself before putting on glasses or contact and don't forget to lean against the sink

Hate to argue Christina - but the trick is if you eat anything like say a cookie or a candy bar - you just make sure you are drinking a diet pop with it - that way the calories will cancel each other out
Also - you have to remember that foods that are the same color have the same amount of calories - example - liver and chocolate - same amount of calories
Follow these healthy tips and soon you'll look as svelte as I do - LOL
