Cookie Diet

OK, so I know that a cookie diet (thanks Vanilla) sounds too good to be true, but I think I may have found one that actually works.

In the past 5 days I have eaten (I can’t believe that I am going to admit this IN WRITING for everyone to see), approximately:

• 32 homemade chocolate chip cookies (I had to make some for Sam to take to work and then more for Valerie's son Benjamin's baptism on Saturday--and hey, that's really only about 6 per day)
• At least half a pan of Rice Kryspy Treats (again, I have Ben as an excuse…and truth be told, I have been known to eat an entire pan of these all on my own—just ask Valerie)
• Half of a half gallon tub of Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream (ummm…it has been hot here so I needed it to help cool down)
• And who knows how much cookie dough I actually consumed while making the cookies

Clearly I have some sort of problem, but somehow this has resulted in my losing 4 pounds. No kidding. I was scared to see what damage had been done by my reckless abandonment of all self control when I stepped on the scale this morning and realized that I was 4 pounds lighter than last week. Maybe it’s because I was too full from all of the junk food to actually eat any other food except for some vegetable lasagna on Sunday night, so I really just consumed my normal amount (or less) of calories.

What ever it is—I’m ready to package it up and sell it to America.
