Easter candy addictions.....
Before I lost weight, and was oh so happy eating chocolate....

I would bow down to the store gods when I saw my first bag of these at Easter time....
my knees would go weak, my pulse pounds, my mouth salivates
(smack)

oh sorry.... anyway





the bags usually NEVER made it home......



these on teh other hand....




:puke:

so what is your EASTER CANDY weakness ???

5. so since you've lost weight
has this monkey jumped off your back? I'm really trying to be serious. Are you less likely to grab them in the store and eat them on the way home?

7. yup
the monkey has gone....

It doesn't bother me to pass them up in the store.

I do get cravings for chocolate... but I can live without it....
and if I don't buy it and its not in the house
I don't miss it or eat it...

I do grab a fun size special dark chocolate bar at the tanning place once in a while when they have them in the candy dish.

9. thanks
I'm just curious because I've read about insulin resistance and how eating stuff like that and being fat sets up a cycle.

29. YES!
Peeps are so much better just slightly stale! I bite their little heads off first. If you haven't tried the gingerbread-shaped ones, make sure to pick some up at Christmas-- they taste like cookies.

16. I love the Cadbury caramel eggs, but the creme ones are nasty
I agree!
I do love maybe ONE fresh Peep, but that's about my limit on those babies.
Pretty much anything chocolate, preferably Dove...
And I do like good jellybeans, but only the yellow and red ones.

22. Nothing specifically for Easter.
I'm not a big chocolate eater. I prefer sour candies like Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Sour Skittles, etc. I can get those anytime. But I don't crave sweets all that much.

You couldn't tell by my gut though. x(
