Also, it turns out that while you might be able to wait indefinitely for your cookie, you can lack self-control entirely around other triggers personal to you.<br /><br />Sadly, chocolate does count. <br />Hope Perlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599511890390199730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525161379578984040.post-88910172975754136452015-03-19T14:40:19.042-04:002015-03-19T14:40:19.042-04:00When my daughter was in pre-school, she participat...When my daughter was in pre-school, she participated in one of these tests that a student in the Pysch dept. at SUNY was doing. Only, not just marshmallows but cookies and ones that she was even able to decorate and still couldn't touch for 5 minutes or whatever. It was amazing to watch from behind the mirror as she played and occasionally looked at the cookie but then continued to play. I'd never seen such self control. On the way out, we took the cookies with us. She suggested saving them for her sister just as I was sneaking a bite. Maybe one of these days, I too can learn it.<br /><br />Also,does chocolate count, since it's good for you now? Amynoreply@blogger.com
