This little munkay has a monkey on her back and it's name is sugar. It is my drug of choice. It has it's sticky grip in me and I can't shake it no matter how many ho-ho's I swallow. I eat and I eat and I eat and I still can't lose weight. With my body chemistry, I am so sweet I make honey bitter.
Maybe it started with that cheese cake day I had a while back, I dunno. But when my kids came home with twenty pound of halloween candy I knew I was in for a rocky road ahead. Twenty sweet delicious pounds and not a single Dot in those bags. That has forced me to eat the non-Dot type candy in retaliation.
It was my kids who pointed out my problem. When they found me napping once again, snoring soft Snicker smelling snores, chocolate smudge on my cheeks as I slept off my latest binge. "Mom! Mom! Wake up!", they yelled while shoveling off the wrapper litter from my bloated body"The cat has gotten into our candy again and tried to bury you in the wrappers!" "There, there, little ones. Mommy's ok, I'll always protect you.", was my blurry reply. From what? Tooth decay? Empty calories? Our phantom candy eating cat?
I'll admit I have a problem. I'm working on my own twelve step program. Phase on, give up the Smarties. Phase two, good bye licorice....
Intervention time is now, just let me whip up a batch of brownies before you come.

Busted. I usually blame it on the dog or one of the kids (unless they're both in the same room with me).
And deal on the brownies. I like mine chewy with chocolate chips. Will those work?
Interesting: I always considered Smarties below Dots on the candy hierachy, with Necco wafers at the very bottom, of course. Starting with Dots changes the whole scheme of things.
Yes Cattiva- those brownies worked so good I will have to bake you another pan
Kasey- you are totally right on your candy food order, necco wafers, smarties, candy corn are only to be eaten in a sugar emergancy. For me it used to be Snickers at the top of the piramid. Snickers are loaded with the good stuff- chocolate, nuts, carmel. Dots, especially when they were elusive climb up edgeing out the chocolate this year.
You concerned readers will be happy to know I have now scaled down my suger intake. Cutting your tounge licking out the bottom of the Hersheys surup can will do that for ya.
A sugar jones by any other name! But oh sweet the denial!

Kacy, I'm sorry for spelling your name wrong. After I get done memorizing how to spell mine, I will practice yours.
