I really dislike the Easter season for one little reason....CADBURY CREME EGGS! I mean really...how disgusting are these things...yet I can not resist them. Ugh! I have eaten three in the last two days...even though they are fattening and they make me want to puke! Sorry...I just needed to vent....mostly because there is still one more in the kitchen taunting me! :faint:

Ymmm! What is it about them that you can't just eat one? I mean I don't see myself over eating carrots or brocoli...
I wonder why things that are so bad for you are what really draws us to "not just eat one"

...actually, what you are describing here is 'the lack of WON'T power'....as in, "I WON'T eat that stuff".....
They are a symbol of the life of choices we all have, and in this Easter season celebrating the rebirth of hope it is essential to walk away from such forms of self defeating behavior....at least that's what I tell myself....
I once made a list of similar things I ate that actually disgust me....and as it grew longer and longer, I came to realize since I had a similar 'lack of WILL power' I could improve my 'WON'T power'....and it has worked quite well....
good luck....

They get me every year two. I have had 2 in the last few weeks, and I have one sitting on my desk at work that's been there since Monday. Not TOO bad, but maybe one year I can just avoid them altogether, lol.

Guilty! I also have one in my cupboard. My kids ate the other 3. Yeah, that's it - the kids. Okay, it was me! I'm supposed to be on mushies too... chocolate is a mushy if you let it melt in your mouth, right?!
Damn eggs - they don't even taste good if you think about it, but there's something about knowing you CAN'T have one until next Easter. And why do they come in packages of 4?! Sorry to rant - I guess you touched a nerve. ;)

They don't always come in packs of 4....now they sell the mini eggs in packs of 12...and you can always buy them out of the big bins that have...oh probably 100 eggs in them! It is a damn conspiracy or something. Glad I'm not the only one with a problem...he he he!

My weakness isn't the Cadbury eggs...........it's those delectable REESE's eggs. The darn things come by the bag full. OH my that peanutbutter center covered by rich milk chocolate. My mouth is waterin'.......OH, OH, OH AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta have one now. Wait, I don't have any in the house! (panic)........(comes to senses) maybe that's a good thing.
