Ann, your post hit true with me. I'd make toast and also end up with tons by the time I was done (you're right, cinnamon toast no less).

Actually I'm starting to play with testing myself. When I'm feeling in control, I'll experiment. Today I ate my first Advantage Bar and enjoyed it emmensly.

Last night I had the teeniest tiniest smidge of a Wendy's Frosty, just to feel it in my mouth. It tasted good at first then it left my mouth feeling really slimmy and had an awful aftertaste. Same thing with a tiny bite of cake donut the other day (it was slimmy).

I'm beginning to wonder about this slimmy texture in food???

I'll probably wait till AFTER the holidays and start to try some of the special treats. As much as possible, I plan on avoiding things during the holiday season.

I'm not sure about the portion control issue either. I seem to being doing quite well eating till satisfied. Binging is a totally different thing.
