Title: Beating an addiction
Post by: 240 is Back on February 29, 2008, 11:02:43 AM
You guys ever have a weakness that you just cannot beat no matter what?

I'm talking something you crave in your bones?  You go to sleep thinking about it, and wake up thinking about it?

I've killed a box of these in 24 hours.

Yes.  it was a slow, disgusting ride.  One with every meal for 24 hours.  I gave myself a cheat day.  

How long does it take you to eat 8 of them?

That's not a cheat day, that's a blip. Here's what I ate last Saturday:

Breakfast-

homemade pancakes w/ cheese omelette. Started out with decent intentions

10AM- Box of Corn Pops w/ whole milk. Roof of my mouth ruined

12:30PM- Chicken Parm sub, Fritos, 5 cupcakes (lulz)

3PM- Snickers and M & M's

7:30- McD's 2 Dbl cheezeburgers, fries, apple pies

10PM- Row of Oreos

Bedtime...

Nope, nothing.  I don't have an addictive personality, and even if I did, my personality is such where I would stop myself before getting addicted.  So barring being drugged with opiates or something like that, it would never happen.  I am extremely grateful for that.

a while back i started a thread about HOSTESS CUPCAKES. the only way to beat them is to not buy them when you go to the store. if they get inside your house, nothing can save you.

The less sugar you eat the less you will crave eventually. if you dont buy it you wont eat it.  Use sugar in your coffe that should be enough.


My addiction so far, coffee, cigarets, antidepressant. I dont want to beat any of these.


What i did beat is gambling.

If you want to beat any addiction, here is the thing, its easy quitting, but what happens most of the time is that you fall back to it after some time, thats ebcause you havent replaced with anything else. Replace it with something positive, you need to gain something else that gives you the same joy as the sweets.

They definetly do take a toll on the plumbing!  Any time I go through St. Louis I'll get a large sack of chicken rings, mozzarella sticks, 6 white castles, and 2 fries.  By the last few bites my stomach hurts so bad but I suck it up and force that shit down. ;D

No, but you just made me want a king dong so bad, for the old schoolers they used to come wrapped in tin foil. I saw them in the store the other day and came so close to getting them, we got Almonds instead, not quite the same :(, but Cheese corn is my weakness, use to tell myself it wasn't the worst snack in the world, but when you eat a whole bag and make yourself sick that can't be good.
