I am capable of devouring a restaurant supplies size bag of them in a single sitting (= eating them from a small bowl and repeatedly going back to the larder to refill like a mechanical toy until they are gone). I upbraid myself while I am doing it, and feel sick and disappointed with myself afterwards. I struggle with the thought that I just shouldn’t buy them, maybe I should only eat them if I’m offered them when I’m out.... <br /><br />Doesn’t remind me of anything. Nothing at all. No siree. <br /><br />This makes me wonder about the distinction between the addictive substance (unlike sugar, afaik pistachio nuts are not technically addictive) and the addictive personality, and the train crash that occurs when the two collide.

Left work every day feeling sick. Wont be buying them again might try nuts in individual packages bagged up at home or maybe I can bag up the crisps.

Every night, I try to eat just one half of a Snicker bar and save the other half for the next night. That cunning second half calls to me from inside the refrigerator until I finally go to bed and over my head with my pillow so I can't hear it anymore. <br /><br />Aw...God, this is all too freakin' familiar. lol P.S. I have a friend who has been hounding me to read the Happiness Project, too.

Sound familiar. I try very hard to stay away now from anything refined and processed. I try and eat whole foods whenever possible. <br />For me it's so eerily similar. Eating sugary foods sets me up to beat myself up! I'm so sick of this cycle that I have decided to give up sugar most of the time. Less sugar in my diet, less stress overall.<br />Boston Strong, Boston SoberAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788908245346677108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-24886556552376361392016-04-01T12:55:18.616-07:002016-04-01T12:55:18.616-07:00I have one thing to say....Smarties.
