I've had this discussion with myself, albeit not over cookies. For me, I've had to decide what are the important foods that I have to learn to have around me without binging because I cannot/will not eliminate them from my life, and which foods aren't worth the fight, so they are no longer brought into the house. I had to decide that recently about wine and cheese. Yes, I could probably lose weight easier if I just eliminated them, but they are both too important so I continue to have them around me and I continue to struggle to keep them 'in their proper perspective'.
