How I did it
It made me
guilt-free and happy 
How I did it: I bought a ripstop nylon bag that folded up into the size of my fist that I carry everywhere with me. Even if I forget it, I just put what I can in my purse and carry the rest - I never accept a bag anymore. Telling the cashiers and baggers that I don't need any plastic bags is integrated into my system.I am also less likely to buy food if it is covered in plastic wrap or in plastic containers. Fresh is best. Read how I did it…

The baggie method...
2 months ago
...is a way to limit the amount of sweets or junkfood you consume in a day. In the morning, place all the chocolate, candy and junk food you’ll allow yourself to eat that day in a little baggie. For the entire day, you can only eat what is in that baggie. This morning I put in half a brownie, ~15 M&Ms and 3 pieces of dark chocolate. I only ate 2 M&Ms so far.
I like it because I like to save up things and enjoy them all at once, at the end of the day. Or, if I really want chocolate, I can allow myself a piece from the baggie knowing I won’t have too much more. It is nice to know that you’ll get to have some sweets whenever you’d like, but you can’t gorge. It is a very happy and gentle way to cut down the sugar in my diet.

I’ve got my plants, my fresh air, my natural light…but my computer and attention-defect are problematic. I don’t know what to do yet.
