LOL....I gained weight last year when I quit smoking, sure hope the quitting gambling doesn't do the same thing since I am working to get the weight off!! That's all I need....another addiction to deal with.

Yes Bernie, Girl scout cookies are known to be highly addictive! Was it the thin mints you were eating? I am addicted to those darn things too! You know what they say about potato chips, "You can't eat just one!" Now we know why you have an ice cream cone as your avitar! Still it's better than gambling but its not good to be eating unhealthy. I need to work on that too! The good news is, you won't go bankrupt from buying cookies & chips.

Cher...yes it was the thin mints. Always my favorite but I haven't had them in years! I usually don't eat like this. Thank God!

Thanks, you guys....now I have a craving for thin mints! LOL I actually liked the sugar cookies...you know, the butter ones with all the sugar crystals on top...they don't make them like that anymore. The peanut butter sandwich cookies are awesome too....where's the milk? LOL

Have a great, gamble-free, girl scout cookie day :o)

Help please please Help me...........

Need National Girl Scout Cookie Hotline for Addiction
and to ask where to buy those PB sandwiches, yeah, my fav.

My other addictions,
I am "outing" myself and hope for the best............


DS
recovery
handbags made of real leather
shoes likewise
100% silk clothes
french pastries
chocolate anything (once tried choco covered ants- yuk! gritty)
books of non fiction
old black and white movies
popcorn of anykind
watching movies in a theater
decorating magazines
tabloid mag's (so addicted I read them at the store and don't buy and also have been known to "take" one or two at "offices" where I "believe" it is covered in the cost of the office call.) right?

ps,
Bernie,

sorry, but yes,
I believe that we can become addicted to many many things in life,
be it material or physical or spiritual.
I believe that we may be born with an addictive nature or be susceptible to becoming addicted or even made to be that way.


I too like ice cream,
so beware,
if I could
I would change
your picture
to one of
one scoop
with a
look of despair....

one big bite gone.

LOL, Hey, Maybe we should start a new support D.S. group!

"The potato chip, ice cream, girl scout cookie, chocolate, and all other junk foods recovery group. "

Chocolate is my very biggest food addiction. I find it nearly imposible to resist it. I will never recover from my addiction to chocolate, nor do I want to. I just need to eat it in moderation.

You guys gave me a much needed laugh!! thanks!!

I am a potato chip girl for sure!

I sort of get compulsive about different things for a spell and then switch. For example, I will go through a phase where EVERY TIME I go to the grocery store I will get tea of different kinds. I went through a book phase because we have a free section in our library after book sales and my hubby had to build me a book case (ok maybe it was 3) I collect magazines in wooden crates and other little things like tea pots from thrift stores- most of them are harmless but they do tend to collect over time and I have to clear out so not to feel like I am becoming a hoarder.

I was all ready gaining weight before I stop gambling, now I"m really blowing up/ my newest addiction is 'Dove' chocolate almond nuggets..............wow. and Mike/Ike candy. in the last eight or nine month, I"ve gone from a size 10 to a 12. and had to get a white dress for church tomorrow, I went on to size 14, cause I hate them too short or too tight. even my doctor was amazed at how much weight I"ve gain. now in my defense, our family had two deaths in May 2013: my father passed on May 11, and my sister on May 14............two funerals in one week will make you eat up a storm, too. and I didn't say this for sympathy, just that is when I noticed the snacking starting. maybe we ought to research some 'healthy' coping skills. Lord, do we have to start a weight watchers DS?
