I figure the reason I keep bingeing during the winter and Christmas seasons is partly the hibernation gene kicking in and mostly because I can not control my sweet tooth.
I love (yes, I know I use that phrase alot!- but, it's true!) sweets.
I was reading an article on curbing those insatiable cravings and part of the article included a quiz.
"Do you crave: sweet, salty, sour, crunchy or chewy?"
Well. For me- that would be all the above so long as it's covered in chocolate. I did take to heart the behavior modification techniques that were suggested to curb those cravings and I found one that I'm going to concentrate on.
The answer: Substitution.
Uh-- no. I don't mean to say that I'll go for sugar-free chocolate flavored crap either. YUCK.
What I have devised is virtually indulging (maybe that should read e-dulging?) my bad habit! I'm going to just find pictures of my craving and journal about it. Crossing my fingers it doesn't backfire on me!!
Anyway.... as an experiment in that vice, may I present one of my favorites?
The chocolate orange. And, not just any chocolate orange!
Whack and unwrap! It's a Terry's Chocolate Orange treat made by Kraft.
And, yes- there is a differrence!! I discovered some "other" brand this past December and they are not the same!
While I was searching for a virtual image- I discovered this site! YUMMMMM!
So... let's indulge! There's no calories for looking! Doesn't cost anything either! And, yes- I know that tooths is a plural word in the title that doesn't exist!! But... if you are referring to multiple people that have individual sweet tooths and they only have one per person- then wouldn't that read as tooths rather than teeth? Guess that's a question for the grammar police.
I'm off to virtually treat myself with sugary satisfaction. Oh... and then hop over for a taste of reality at the Hungry Girl site.
