So I'm having this problem.
It's called "there being cookies in the house" and "that being all I want to eat."
It's closely connected to a secondary problem called "there being chips and dip in the house" and "that being all I want to eat."
Preliminary Problem Elimination Trial A involved wearing super tight jeans so you can FEEL how fat you're getting as you eat the cookies and the chips and dip.
Trial B? THROWING OUT PERFECTLY GOOD COOKIES AND CHIPS AND DIP.
It all starts with the supply. The supply cannot be allowed. The supply must be eliminated.

ARG. I'm having the same problem. Also involving candy.
Oh no! Couldn't you just bring the stuff to work and it would be inhaled by the masses in two seconds flat? Oh well.
Having the same problem dude. Feeling fat in jeans has helped a tiny bit but not much. Guess I gotta start attacking the supply source. :(
I took all of my stocking candy to work hoping it would all just disappear and I would feel all generous. Nope, now it's just staring me in the face ALL DAY! It must move to the lobby of my office tomorrow, or I'm going to start making sure some perfectly good chocolate doesn't go to waste.
I've done that...the supply elimination. Feels wasteful at first, but it's such a relief to be rid of it! Out of sight, out of mind. Almost.
I'm always so sad to not find cookies in the pantry, but now I remember why they aren't there.
supply is evil ;-))). You can guess how difficult it is to resist the temptation in France. Really, I do not know how I do ;-) (putting on weight, maybe? yep : I'll have to wear blinkers)...bisous de Bretagne, ma chère!
I usually address the problem at the supply end too, and while it does reduce the amount of calories in, it doesn't make me want them any less :(
Weird. I'm having the same problem. For a while, my inside voice was yelling "cookies! cookies!" so loudly that I thought I was channeling cookie monster. So I baked.
I read somewhere that to encourage healthy eating habits in kids (of all ages, I guess) one must not have the four c's in the house: cookies, candy, chips, or cola. But where is the joy in that?
Trial A made me totally laugh!!!!awesome. However, I'm absolutely and whole-heartedly in support of Trial B. Nothing works better than not having the stuff in the house to begin with. My sister's GIANT BIN of hand-dipped chocolate covered pretzels might meet the same fate, sadly.
i remember when my mom did that. it sucked then cause the rest of us still wanted the good stuff! but it is really the only way not to eat it i guess. so sad.
I'm so relieved that all the chocolate is finally gone. Which means I ate it all, which maybe isn't so good, but at least now it's gone.
I totally participated in Trial B last week. But only after the chips were almost gone.
