Ahhh the torture

So I went to the commissary today only to find myself drooling over the aisles of Halloween candy. I mean really should they have that junk out already? It wasn't even like you can avoid it there. It is located by the frozen section and the milk/cheese aisle. I know it's their way of getting people to buy it. I was wanting some candy corn so bad (I get it every year) but I refrained. I must remind myself over the next few months to make as few trips to the commissary as I can. I decided that getting some sugar free oatmeal cookies would be a better idea until I read the nutrition facts on it. Apparently sugar free doesn't mean healthy folks! For one cookie was 7 grams of fat and 160 calories. Oh my lord!!! So next time you see something labeled sugar free make sure you read all the facts. I looked at a few other oatmeal cookies and was surprised that they were all full of fat and calories. So does anyone know a good low calorie oatmeal cookie recipe? If so please pass it my way!! I have a weird craving for some. Also do you know of any good low calorie pizzas that don't taste like cardboard ( I am referring to the Southbeach diet ones, YUCK). I am doing my best to stick to eating healthy, but when my cravings kick in I have to indulge and what better way than a low calorie alternative, you know?? I have thought of making pizza on a wheat pita with the fat free cheese. I however am not sure if there is healthy pizza sauce out there I guess I will look next time I go to the commissary, which hopefully is a while away. Darn that freaking Halloween candy.....

Yes, you have to watch those "diet" foods! To make things still taste good, they load them up with fat. The best cookies to eat when you're on a diet are animal crackers, I think!
