Addiction...a sick sick addiction

I've come to the realization that in order to overcome a problem you need to first admit to yourself that you have a problem.  Well.....I HAVE a problem....it's hard for me to admit the problem and it's hard for me to talk about the problem.  But I feel like I can openly talk about it here. 
I'm asking for help....I NEED help.  I don't know if I can get through it on my own.  I'm not sure if interventions are needed or some kind of therapy is needed but something needs to change.  Something needs to be done and I need to want to change....I do want to change...I do. 

Do you see this??  Do you???  Do. You??  Brownies are the fuckin bane of my existence!!!  I CAN'T STOP EATING THEM!  For my birthday dessert I chose brownies instead of cake.  Well there was only maybe one row that was eaten on my birthday and so my wonderful mother sent the rest of this fuckin crate home with Justin and I.  The brownies came home with us on Saturday....this picture was taking last night (Monday).  We and when I say we I mean mostly me, ate this entire god damn thing of brownies!  Yeah...thats right....I ATE IT ALL!!!  I even drank milk straight out the carton!   
I got home from work today and thank the good lord Justin finished them off.  NO MORE FUCKIN BROWNIES!  They are banned from my house.  I need to nip this problem in the bud.  I'm putting an end to it.  I think I'm gonna just go cold turkey and try not to think about them too much. 
Please bare with me while I try to get through these first couple of days....I'm going to need some encouragement....because I do know where to find them!!

  1. Happy birthday!!!! And everyone deserves a splurge! Even if it is a big splurge. You drank milk with it, so it cancels most of the calories out.

  2. After i had my daughter my step mom brought over a pan of brownies that were frosted and had sprinkles. My boyfriend came home from work the next day and the pan was gone and the honey-do list included more brownies and frosting and of course the sprinkles.(he was appalled i ate them all, and i just wanted more) So don't feel bad we all do it, i think its a must sometimes. Good luck on your journey through withdrawal. lol

  3. I have the theory of outta sight, outta mind...which means eat them all until they're gone:)

  4. Everybody goes overboard on the sweet carbs sometimes. But if you are eating them too much for your liking,take a pause form them. You can do it. I know its hard but its worth it. You don't want your ass to be the size of Texas, right? SO slowly back away from the brownies:) Girl, you're so hot you could rock an ass the size of Texas if you so desired but I don't think you want to. Try a low fat substitute, Weight Watchers has some tasty chocolate desserts maybe they could satisfy your craving without the high calorie count. You can do it! We are here to support you!Hugs!

  5. It's ok. I feel the same way about the cherry chocolate chip soy ice cream in the freezer. My husband brings it home and I can't stop eating it. I'll use a really small dish, but then I just keep refilling it. At least it's vegan and organic...

  6. Oh Nikki! I love you girl. You so crack me up! Brownies are my downfall too. I could eat every bite. It's sad really. Good luck girl! We'll do this together. xoxo

  7. If I were you I wouldn't feel guilty, I'd be proud. That's a giant pan of brownies, quite an accomplishment!
    Metaphorically speaking, we have ALL eaten a pan of brownies at one time or another. Sometimes because we're feeling down or sometimes just because brownies are really really good.

  8. OMG I WANT BROWNIES.
    Too bad I ate like a disgusting pig the entire time I was on vacation. No brownies for me for at least a month.
