Those single-serving loaves, buttered edge-to-edge, are deadly for me! 

Trick: Slice them and freeze them - it's one more step to take from eating them all :) 

Perks54, freezing isn't a barrier for me, for any kind of bread. I'd just slice them thinner so they'd thaw faster. Baked goods are not things I can keep in the house! 

I can't have these around right now, either. :-( There was a time when I could, and had half-slices of banana bread individually wrapped, then all in a gallon zipper bag, in the freezer. Right next to the bag of bite-size brownie pieces. Often, half was plenty. Not sure what changed, maybe location change meant it was harder to keep healthful foods stocked. Maybe I'll get back there.  

I think next time I will double the recipe and freeze a loaf like you suggest. I'm doing well rationing myself -- a lesson in will power for me that's probably healthy. I'm taking a bunch to a friend Saturday, too, which is helping to slow me down so I have some left to share!  

You guys are really honest with yourselves, that self awareness is important. I'm developing it through my food diary - I use to convince myself I didn't eat that much and then saw the calculation of over 3000 calories in one day.  

Oh I'm going to attempt this looks so good 

Perks, it is amazing how much food a person can eat without think about it, and an incredible capacity for mindless eating. I can eat sweets all day long and not be sick *or* sared!
