Reign In Your Cookie Monster

Carolyn’s biggest vice was cookies. When she was at her heaviest weight of 252 pounds, she would mindlessly polish off an entire box late at night while watching television. But now that Carolyn is 101 pounds lighter, she follows a new strategy whenever the “cookie monster” strikes.

This way, she satisfies her sweet tooth and enjoys a cookie—without sabotaging her health efforts.
