Words of Wisdom From the Doc

If you don't think you'll be able to say "no" to it for the rest of your life, then don't say "no". You'll just end up bingeing later. Instead, get the piece of pie, or the cookie, and take just one or two bites. Then say to yourself, Okay, now I know what it tastes like, and set it aside. Take just enough to satisfy the craving in your mind, because that's exactly where the craving is.

Just keeping this advice in mind this past week has helped tremendously. I've been able to say "no" a lot more easily, because in the back of my mind I'm thinking If I still want a bit later on, I'll have a little bit, just to see what it's like. And so far, I haven't still wanted it later.
