BuffyBear的日记, 2012年02月21日

I'm the same way, Buffy. Nuts and anything salty trumps sweet for me any day of the week. Maybe little snack bags will help to apportion them to keep you in control. That or getting rid of them altogether. LOL. On the other hand, they are a good source of fats and protein. 

Heather - the thing is that I already had my pre-measured one oz. bag of walnuts in the morning. I'm talking about destructive after dinner snacking.  

Nuts and after dinner... a deadly combination for me too. My problem too is cashews and in the afternoon they call me from the kitchen. Good luck. I feel your struggle. 

Nuts exposed to my eyes are deadly...I see them and I want them..and its soo easy to grab a handful and eat mindlessly..I pretend they are my DH's and I have to keep my paws OFF..LOL..So hang in there girl..you can beat this..I know you can...have a wonderful day..:O) 

Amber - Funny how they know our name!  

Bren - Good trick - think I'll try it. 

Aw, Buffy....I know just how it goes....same problem with those tasty little devils. Doesn't seem to matter, peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans just to name a few favorites! I still haven't learned to keep my paws off either...or measure for that matter. Pre-bagging the buggers up is the closest I have ever come to control. 1 ounce isn't much at all! 

I had a half cup of pecans the other day at the grandparents house... 350 calories!!! It's too bad they taste so good! 

gg - I bet if we found them in the woods and had to crack them with a rock we wouldn't overeat.  

Fish - bet that isn't the worst thing you could have eaten at Grandma's house! 

I hear ya! If you look at my journal you will see those nasty things mentioned A LOT! Love them ... it's the salt for me! Ah, what am I saying ... I just love them! :-) I could tell you to stay away but then I would have to heed my own warning. Have a fabulous day and try to stay away! Hugs! 

Java - Thanks - misery loves company! I just need to find some way to stitch my mouth closed after dinner.  

Oh, I don't even buy them anymore...they are the bane of my existence! Have a great day, Buffy! 

Stef - I guess that would solve the problem! You have a great day too!  

They have some nice colored duck tape now..you could use a pretty red..LOL 

LOL@ Bren!! I would go for the hot pink! 

Buffy....I got nuthin'. You know I struggle the same with peanuts and haven't found a way to keep them in the house, but stay out of them. Guess I know what that means! When you find the answer to this issue, please let me know!!!!!! 

Sandy - I promise - You will be the first to know. 

Buffy...LOL...I don't know about that! I think we would make an awesome nut-cracking team, we'll find a couple nice rocks & get set to crack-em-up...LOL! We could make up some nut-traps to help keep us out of trouble! 

GG - was comparing the nut problem to an analogy I heard recently about sugar. Mother Nature makes both nuts and sugar hard to get at. Modern technology is what gives us the problem (that and total lack of willpower).
