controlled addict.
in addition to being a shopaholic, i am a chipaholic.
while going to the poor house is fear factor enough for controlling the first addiction, the fear of being fat does nothing to stop me from my chip addiction.
i don't like eating them in public because it's too complicated (one hand has to hold the bag, the other gets dirty with chips). I much prefer to scarf them down in the most dignified way in front of the tv, computer, or even just standing over my kitchen sink!
if i buy 2 jumbo bags - i can finish them in a weekend. if they are in the house, all i think about all day is chips chips chips. it's something about the salt and the crunchiness that really appeals to me.
the only way i have found to manage this problem is to ban it from my house. more recently, i lost 5 lbs just from a 3 week ban. the problem with this solution is that my husband has to go completely without...which does not seem very fair. he should not have to suffer for my chip-binging problem.
SOLUTION! I kid you not, we came to the agreement this early evening that he would hide the chips in a secret location. and only when i am absolutely dying for salty goodness, will he ration me a portion in a bowl. pure genius. i could not stop laughing when we decided upon this. having a problem that requires this type of solution is pathetic!
oh well - at least now, i can enjoy chips without going crazy!
