How Do You Say, "No"?

I have been working on my paper at the university campus in order to focus. But I always eat lunch before going there...or pick something up to eat while working on my paper. If I don't eat at home, I usually go to Subway. It's on the way. Good place to go, right? No. It's not so healthy for me because I LOVE their cookies and just can't resist. Today I was in the Subway drive-in lane repeating to myself over and over that I would not get cookies this time...and two seconds later, you guessed it, I was ordering two chocolate chip cookies. You can substitute them as a side, and I just can't seem to stop myself from doing that (it also doesn't help that I'm not wild about apples as a side...they are not among my favorite fruits). Any tips or tricks to avoid the evil cookies of Subway...or other temptations, for that matter?

    Oy.. I have a tough time passing up cookies, too. My recommendation is to either (a) only let yourself have them on days you are going to the gym; or (b) tell yourself they are poisonous and avoid them like the plague...

    Or, just let yourself only have one.

    I vote for planning your day to incorporate the cookies.

    Don't get a combo meal, then you don't have to choose between apples and cookies. :-) When I go there, if I'm REALLY hungry, I get a 6 inch turkey sub, bread scooped out, double meat. Then I don't need chips/cookies/apples/soda. Also, the Subway by me offers yogurt as a side too - I think it costs extra, but if you want a sweet, that might work.

    I wish that a six-inch would satisfy me. :( Even before my unfill (and I was pretty full), I could put away the whole footlong and the cookies. :( I'm not one of those bandsters who is satisfied with very small portions...to say the least. I would have stomach-growling hunger even at my most full.

    When I was at Subway most recently, I was trying to tell myself not to get the combo, but it didn't work. :( :( :( I wonder if I just need to stay away from Subway entirely. Getting one might work....but the plague thoughts may be the best approach.
