    A cookie.

    ::: spoiler Pro tip:
    Grab a cookie, close the packaging or container, go somewhere else, then eat the cookie. You will want another cookie but not enough to actually go back and re-open the packaging.

    Alternatively, eat something more nutritious first, then set a specific amount of cookies you're allowed to eat. Also, brush your teeth after eating sweet food, such as cookies.

    That's how i lost 10 lbs.

    1. Buy less snacks. Say no once at the grocer instead of every day.
    2. If you do have some then they stay in the kitchen. You serve yourself the serving size. Leave the kitchen and eat the cookie. Easier to say no to getting another.

      I am like this with

      Deviled eggs

      French Fries

      And actually the electric bike, though I didn't get another. It is just so freaking convenient and we have a few people in the house.

      Oddly enough, not with most drugs, nor drink. But speed, yeah. My kid gets Adderall for ADHD and I told her just keep it in her room I don't want to see it. Unless I can have it every day for the rest of my life. I really like speed.

      Urgh, no. I have ADHD, I get prescribed methylphenidate hydrochloride. I take it because it makes my brain work a little better.

      At a recreational dose though? No. Urgh, fuck no. The comedown was fucking awful. Zero appetite, can't sleep, can't think properly, just why? 💛

        People like you are so strange to me it's like watching the birth of a child is some traumatic brain injury that changes you forever.

        Not a traumatic brain injury...

        It's a change in perspective. It's hard to explain without referencing the experience itself.

        It's like spending your whole life at the bottom of a valley. You have everything you need. Your life is whole. And then someone takes you to the top of a mountain and you can see a million valleys and a million mountains and an endless sky.
        Your valley is the same, it hasn't changed, but suddenly everything is different. Your life is still whole, but that means something else, now.

        That doesn't do it justice, but hopefully you get the picture...

          Well I have the enelope batteries the someone else suggested, and Amazon basic rechargeable. And devices like my Lazer thermometer, certain mice, certain flashlights tend to not operate fully or as long. Thought the device was just on it's last leg until I popped a generic alkaline in it.

          I don't have any super fancy high end rechargeable AA batteries, I've just noticed over the years they're not 100% equal in every device. I use rechargeable when I can, but have disposable alkaline if the device sees limited functionality with rechargeable.

          It's the voltage.

          An "Alkaline" AA cell is 1.5v at new and it slowly tapers off as it discharges.

          A "rechargeable" AA is 1.2v fully charged, and stays there until about 30% charge (IIRC, it's been decades since I used them) then the voltage falls off a cliff.

          From that you can see that a device that uses two AAs is designed to run at 3v, but when you use rechargeables, they only kick out 2.4v.

          (They'll do that 2.4v for a lot more AmpHours than the alkaline can do their 3v, and can be stuffed full of electrons to do it over and over again though)

          Like everything in engineering it's about the right tool for the job. 💛

            Yeah I've only taken a few doses of Adderall and it really comes in "can think to varying degrees" and "call poison control to see if I need to go to fhe hospital". Pill organizers hsve stopped the latter.

                    Do you have ADHD?
                    I've heard that people who do and try coke end up pretty calm or unchanged.

                    I think that sounds like meth not coke. Vyvanse and Adderall are already pretty close to meth in chemical structure anyway.

                        Energy drinks, I could drink em all day if I let myself.

                        After experiencing a pretty good scare when I was a kid. I've avoided repeating that and limit myself to a couple at most.

                          Yep. This is why I don't touch alcohol anymore. I don't have an addiction or dependency, but when I drink a beer it makes me want another, and that one makes we want another. Then I'm hungover and filled with regret the next day. No point to it, so I just don't do that anymore.

                                Eerily enough, I would have checked six of these off the list in the past day alone… I banged my wife, cut some fresh chives from our balcony garden for our omelettes, made some pu’erh tea with breakfast, then got a slushie on my way into work at the opera, where I wore my favorite shoes.

                                        You're not gonna believe this but ... I fucking knew it. That is exactly the one that first came to mind, and I am ashamed that I didn't just blurt it out before.

                                        I've had a whole lot of different scotches and whiskies, and Balvenie is hands down the best. Dalwhinnie is another good one along those lines, if you're looking to compare.

                                          Thats pretty cool. Not too many are into raw fish that instantly.

                                          It's good, certainly when paired with a good korenwijn jenever.

                                          Try the smoked paling (eel) too next time, if you haven't. It's a whole other side of fish.
