A PAGE FROM THE DIARY OF A SUGAR-A-HOLIC Last night on the way home from the grocery store I remembered ice. I stopped at 7-11 and suddenly found myself in front of the upright freezer staring in at the ice cream as my eyes glazed over with the choices. As quickly as it had happened, I was hopped into my van, tossed the bag of ice onto the floorboard and flung the bag of ice cream onto the passenger seat. “I’m like an addict who just got a fix,” I thought to myself. As I drove away I truly realized that the ice cream had no place going home with me. Nevertheless, I scored. Got home, unloaded groceries and was surprised that I was able to make myself put all the groceries away before secretly going to the garage, spoon in hand. Yep, you guessed it. I pried off the lid, dipped in, and a moment later my mouth closed over a heaping spoon of Dryers Thin Mint. My eyes closed and a wave of “sweet” relief washed over me. I put it away knowing I would be back later for more. Here’s the problem. I’m a sugar addict. 1 spoon isn’t enough. 1/2 cup is not enough. It won’t be enough until the carton is gone. The contraband can NOT come into my house.

I've done that, the buying it when I know I shouldn't part, here's what I do; throw it out the car window on the way home. It may taste good, but totally not worth it.

I actually thought about that while writing my journal entry. That is exactly what I should have done! Its good to know someone has actually done that!

I was the third of four kids growing up, my parents weren't fans of wasting food so I've got an innate aversion to tossing perfectly good food. Fortunately, I've risen above it, for the sake of my health. I deconstruct my food when there's parts that aren't within my dietary boundaries, for example, if my wife wants tacos I chunk the tortillas, or if she wants burgers I trash the buns. Where there's the will there's a way.

A familiar story for a lot of us!

I am the exact same way!! If it makes its way into the house, chances are I'll eat it all in one sitting. The only way to do it (for me, at least) is to buy single servings once in a while.....if I can get over how much more expensive it is that way, lol!

I have a similar script, it is in the house or on my plate, I must eat it.
