Boy does this sound familiar. A few weeks ago i actually bought 2 large bags of almonds at trader joes and then bought a bulk container of almonds at sam's club. why you ask? because i was stocking up. not a good idea. during that week i couldn't keep my hand out of the almond jar. CALORIES!! CALORIES!! if you are eating 3-4 oz. of them, you could be eating between 600 and 800 calories in just nuts.

so i said to myself no more nuts and i stuck to it. yesterday i grabbed a few - and i am so pround of myself because i didn't put my hand back in the jar.

i think the reason we go crazy over the nuts is because they are an "allowable food." so we feel we are not cheating, but too many of them definitely becomes cheating.
