guilty. there are specific times of the year where i admit i am a downright glutton. ok, well if we're being honest there are probably a couple days a month where i could be categorized as being this way, but these can all be blamed on hormones. but, there are certain times of the year where i dive right into the practice of gorging myself to the point of wanting to puke. and these little episodes typically surround very specific food objects, usually somehow tied to a certain holiday or celebration. for example, valentine's day. those little conversational hearts somehow woo me until i've eaten like 3 bags and my teeth seem like they've rotted overnight. Christmas brings all kinds of delicacies with it of which i am well aware of my inability to turn any of them down. but hands down, my biggest downfall regarding tasty tempations has recently landed in stores everywhere. mini cadbury eggs. for those of you who are not aware of these scrumptious little treats, they are not what might come to mind. they do not contain that creamy, milky middle that their bigger counterparts do. oh no, they are much better. so, they have this like candy shell filled wiht milk chocolate. thats it. simple. yet incredible. and i can't handle them, at least with any bit of self control. i am usually able to ward off temptation until about a week or so before Easter actually comes, and then at least i know they'll be off the store shelves before i can do major damage. yet this year could be ugly. a friend, knowing my love for these tasty treats, picked me up a bag while doing her latest grocery shopping. good intentions. bad idea. ok, so its feb. 25th. i believe easter is apr. 8. lets do the math, and this doesn't add up to paint a pretty picture. ive had my first bag of mini cadbury eggs for less then 5 hours, and they are nearly halfway gone. an intervention may be in my near future, i may well need one.
