I Have a Problem

March 13, 2008 -

Keebler Fudge SticksDoes anyone know of a Keebler Fudge Sticks Anonymous group in Colorado Springs? I have a problem.

There's a potluck where I work tomorrow, so last night on the way home when I was at the grocery store buying Lia baby food I picked up a bunch of cookies because I'm too lame to actually make any real food to bring in. I was looking at the cookie aisle and saw Keebler fudge sticks. Ooo, I thought. I haven't had these things in years. So I bought them. I used to eat these things by the box. Seriously - I'd buy a box and eat the whole thing in one sitting. I thought I'd matured and grown out of it. God help me, I was wrong.

After lunch today, I was gonna grab a candy bar, but then I remembered the fudge sticks here in my drawer. I debated with myself for about ten minutes before tearing open the package. I'd only have a couple, and I could bring the rest up tomorrow, right? Ugh. Now I feel like the cheesecake guy. I've eaten half the box, and I'm craving more. I'm beginning to have visions of myself laid out in bed in a cold sweat, covered in cookie crumbs. Linda walks in, and I start screaming "Don't look at me! Don't look at me!!"

Now I've got to buy more cookies for tomorrow. I might buy a different brand for fear of losing control again.
