Am I the Only One Who Does This? - Crystal Lake,IL

These cheap Queen Ann Cordial chocolate covered cherries are going to be the death of me. I can polish off a box a day (it's just soooo easy to pop one every time I go into the kitchen!). Luckily I only eat them this time of year, otherwise, yikes!

BAHAWAHA!

If it makes you feel any better, tonight I DEEP FRIED BACON!

Since neither one of us has had a heart attack today as a result, what say we start again tomorrow to do better?!

:(

When you're sitting on the floor with frozen hot dog buns and dipping them in syrup you're out of control. One of my FAVORITE Oprah stories EVER!

Hmmmm? Wha? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you, I was scarfing down a half a bag of the Pretzel M&M's I bought for the family holiday candy dish. Burp.

You'll like this. Once I joined Weight Watchers at work. We met at lunchtime once a week, I think. I wasn't heavy but was interested in dropping a few lbs and eating better.

So......the leader is talking about Hershey's syrup and asked us all "what would you do with a tablespoon of Hersheys syrup"? All of these convoluted ideas like...
"I would drizzle it on two rice cakes...yummmmm"
or
"I would mix half of it into my fat free vanilla yogurt and save half for later..." Right.
My turn came. I said I would eat it right off of the measuring spoon. She almost passed out.

Next meeting...talking about times of weakness....times had we cheated....when was the last time we cheated????
Well, it was Easter time. I told her I ate half of a pound of the (good) foil covered chocolate eggs the night before.
I think she lost all hope for me at that point.

that's why they call it Christmas Crack

haha you and me definitely ride together on this! The good news is unless you cut off a piece with the intention of sitting to enjoy it, I believe it has no calories (like a broken candy bar). So enjoy! and let the New Year's Resolutions begin in 2 weeks!

ummm hello made christmas cookies with the kids yesterday how much of the dough do you think i ate?? lol its christmas if it makes your happy treat yourself!

hahaha, I am a chocoholic but pre-menstrually I seem to yo-yo between wanting sweets and salts, and have had evenings filled with cookies and then pretzels and then chocolates and then salami and then...you get the point. And I always feel guilty afterwards, but rationalize it that the hormones made me do it!

So funny.Years ago I bought the pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough, cut into the cute little squares. I sat and at 16 of those cute little squares, yes, sixteen. In fact, it may have been the whole package. Needless to say, I moaned and groaned with a belly ache for half the night.

too funny...I am eating that very thing as I type this (minus the pecans)! :)

I do that too... I wish to goodness I didn't, but I feel like I can't (don't want to) stop myself from doing it. it's weird.

I think of how gross I am eating that much, and I wouldn't do it in front of someone else... I'm not sure why I do it?

Guilty. The other night I almost posted the same kind of question. I couldn't decide between waffles, fritos, or cheese for a late night snack. Sooo, I had them all. Yep. Then I got worried I was a freak and wanted to ask on here if other mamas do the same thing, lol!

I had 3 cookies for breakfast and 2 cupcakes for lunch.

The reason I don't eat the cakes I bake and decorate... is because I've already eaten about four slices worth of cake warm from the oven (cutting off the mounds, and sculpting shapes).

Insert "innocent" whistle.

But really... warm cake is the BEST.

Oh, like you are really going to go to Hell for doing this. Stop feeling guilty about it, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow and then what? I mean, I really hope you don't, but if you did, at least you had some fun and ate something you really enjoyed.

This time of year, I love those big tins of the Danish butter cookies. I bought one just to have for myself and ate the entire thing over a week. If I had died after for whatever reason, I would have died happy.

I am seriously laughing over b/c just the other day I was thinking "I remember eating some yummy goodness long ago, I believe it had saltines in the bottom..... what was that anyway?!" Gotta get that recipe. And, you made me feel better. I have discovered the BEST brownies EVER (Ghiradelli (sp?) triple chocolate, or something like that) Last weekend I baked a batch and ate HALF the pan in one day. Yesterday I bought a bag of Hershey nuggets. I put them in the freezer b/c they just taste fabulous that way. They're almost gone...

Not really. I am like this all the time, until my pants get tight. Then it's a few days of eating sensibly. I've not lost any weight in 15 years. But I haven't gone up in size either LOL :)

This made me laugh! It's so good to know I'm not alone. I love your honesty....

I've been eating like a piggy for the past few weeks it seems :( LOL .......... new years resolution time!!

Oh you are not the only one. We made Christmas cookies last week. I weigh myself once a week. On Monday I was 4lbs heavier than the previous week. I was so disgusted with myself. At the time it seemed worth it, but I felt so gross after......hey at least I got it out of my system!

No way NEVER never never... are you kidding... how unhealthy of you...

:0P

Seriously, we all have those moments. There are chocolates in a dish in my house. You would think I could just take one every once in a while. Yeah... This is our second dish in a two days.... SOOOOO guilty. Still, it's the holidays, lighten up on yourself and have some fun like kids do. We all deserve it occasionally! :)

Have a great holiday!

I'm the peanut brittle queen. Every year I make sh*tloads of it to giveaway-- AND I also eat myself sick on it!

Today I had about 8 munchkins and a handful of Wise potatoe chips.
How's that! We all have days like this. I am sure had I made cookies today
I would have eaten half the batter and then the cookies when they came
out of the oven. I will save that for tomorrow LOL!

you are not, I keep ferrero chocolates in my house (are my bit of heaven) and last night I just about annihilated the whole box!.

It's that time of year. Don't feel guilty. That's why we make New Year's Resolutions, lol! (To starve ourselves and make up for the Christmas cookies and treats we scarfed down in a wild abandon!)

*hugs*

Considering I had rocky road ice cream with peanut butter, nutella and marshmallows last night for a snack and then 4 cookies for breakfast and a donut for a snack today, I'd say you are not alone! I'm like an addict for sweets this time of year!!!!

I was thoroughly enjoying some dark chocolate chocolate chips, until I realized half the bag was gone. Oh well, I'll be good after the holidays!

I made 2 pans of caramels and at about 1/2 of a pan while wrapping them. Totally not worth the calories!

All I have to say is, how will you know if the treat you are sharing w/ others is any good if you don't sample it (a LOT of it) to make sure???? LOL!! I made cookies today, too...2 dif kinds today, 3 yesterday and 3 a few days ago...you bet I tried em all! :) (not so sure about the half and half though...how did it taste?) hehehe!

No, you are not alone!! That toffee probably just tasted so good that it was hard to stop eating it. Could you share your toffee recipe==or maybe that's not a good idea!? I love sweets too!

Nope! That's why I keep my holiday baking to a minimum and am glad it only comes around once a year :-)

I do it all the time. I don't feel guilty though.

Wow. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Relax and stop beating yourself up.

That toffee stuff with the saltines is the best. stuff. ever. Seriously, you can't be held accountable for your behavior when it's around.

You are so not alone! I had a cookie exchange with my co-workers a couple of days ago and not only had I test each batch of the cookies I made but gobbled up most of the other cookies I received already (that I had planned on saving for Christmas). So I went to Jewel today and bought more cookie making supplies so I have dessert for our family Christmas. New Years resolution of no sugar starts after Christmas - since I will need to test each batch of the cookies I make today also. I would not be a responsible baker if I didn't makes do a test control. Right?

that sounds delicious, i gotta find that recipe!! and I say if you DIDN't do this kinda thing once in a while, you would be abnormal!

I would never put that poison in my body, please don't ignore this warning sign...

Oh wait, I am KIDDING!
I can't think straight because all I want to do is make that toffee & eat it!
Luckily I have skim milk so I am golden on washing it down with something healthy.

You made everyone laugh today, because we have all been there. THANK YOU, I needed this chuckle while frantically getting ready for Christmas:)

Wrap, clean, eat cookie, repeat...all week
