I definitely believe you are capable of making your way out of the Pleasure Trap! Is there a variety of cookie that your husband likes, but you don't? Could he switch that up to possibly make things a little less tempting? Continuing to eat the recommended foods when faced with cravings, and knowing that (sooner or later) they will go away seems like the surest way to proceed, given that the troublesome foods are a presence in the environment.

It's the first practical approach I've ever heard. I don't have any childhood traumas or deep emotional issues to deal with. I just like to eat! And I did it for so many reasons... actual hunger, pleasure, habit, stress, boredom, etc. Something about her approach really clicked with me, and I'm glad to see it's helping you, too.
Here's to a successful and peaceful November!

Glad that you found some help in that podcast. Keep it up, girl.
