I'm glad you enjoyed your cookie. It can be a balancing act with snacks in the house. I bet Bobby was cute in his cape. lol It's better than nothing until you can find something. I'm glad you are liking your walking shoes!:)

Seeing Bobby in his cape in my mind made me smile. I keep treats like my favorite cookies & ice cream in the house so I can enjoy them occasionally. Back when my "extras" calories were lower I sometimes cut a cookie in half & ate some fruit with it for dessert. Savor it slowly. 😊

You can buy new velcro at even walmart and replace or add it just a few $$$. Easier if you have access to a sewing machine but you can hand sew it on. I have the same issue I think I need to eat them all to get them out of the house.

Thanks Navywife and Sherrye- 170 calories for 1 cookie! 14 in the container. I have to be careful but so far I'm pretty motivated to not mess up too bad. I kept the vest or jacket on him with the velcro closed around his middle and didn't undo it until we were almost home. I lost 40 pounds about 20 years ago when I was still working (at the time that's all I needed to lose). I was good with portion control. Every day I brought 1, just 1 Pecan Sandie. A package lasted a couple weeks. I was never tempted once I got home. Since I retired cookies are hard to resist. But I really want to see if I can do this! The cookie fit into my calorie allowance so I don't feel too guilty.

Thanks wholefoodnut. I actually just ordered something online. Bobby has gained some weight since I originally bought the existing vest when he wasn't full grown yet. I can't sew any better than I cook! I don't have a sewing machine and my eyes are so bad I doubt I could thread a needle.

I have the same mindset! I do much better on weeks when there are no treats in the house.

My dog had a lot of fur so he didn't need any clothes.

I am glad to hear that you like new shoes. Is Bobby a dog in the profile picture?

Thanks again wholefoodnut and SoftLife - I've thrown out many half bags of chips after deciding I just shouldn't eat them all. But other things, I just hurry up and finish. I've done it with Pop Tarts, and other breads. Thanks Morticia - poor Bobby, I've never had a dog without an undercoat or much fur. He doesn't shed. Thanks Anne - Bobby is in my profile picture. That was taken about 4 years ago before I had gained all my weight back and we were sitting in the Skunk Train in Fort Bragg, California. Kenna - what?

Thanks Navywife - I'm doing okay with the food and exercise right now but the weight isn't coming off.
