Honestly, that looks gross.

Don't eat doughnuts or drink coffee. I do make cookies. En route to @GrandpaBlaze

I like doughnuts in moderation. And I love a non-fat latte' with honey.

Edit: And after smoking at least a pack a day for most of 40 years quitting was one of the easiest things I have ever done. All it took was a book by Allan Carr, called The Easy Way To Stop Smoking. Simple behavior modification that rewired my brain. An absolutely incredible book for anyone who is serious about getting off nicotine.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to buy it for my sister.

And nice to see an OT thread about something other than politics/Trump.

I've bought copies for the (now former) smokers in my life. As long as your sis wants to quit deep down (even if she is convinced she will never be able to) this book should help. It is cognitive behavior modification that rewired my brain. It's basically written at 6th grade level (and rightly so) and there is nothing complicated about it. It takes a whole different approach than what smokers who want to quit are used to. And the author encourages the reader to smoke as they read the book! He also encourages you to have one last one when you finish the book. I couldn't do it. I stomped it out after two puffs and never looked back. It has been eleven years last Saturday that I quit and I have never, ever, never had another urge to pick up a cigarette. Tell your sister she only has to keep an open mind when she starts reading......It's crazy shit that works.

Married men are 3X more likely to be obese...

I quit my 15 year smoking habit with my own plan, which I am sure no one would endorse but I haven't smoked since 1989. No shrinks, no drugs, no motivational lectures. Guess I just finally decided it was time.

Surprise, I would think men who cook for themselves are more likely to be obese. Guys I see in checkout line always seem to have prepared food, snacks, beer.

Or celery!

A trick I find useful, when I get a craving, brush and floss teeth, use mouthwash. Then do I want something that's going to get into my teeth after all that?

If they could just put this new molecule into cookies and ice cream, I think they'd have a winner.
