The curse of the munchies.

What is it about weekends and munchies?  Is it the movie watching that gets it going?  Is it being at home or with the kids all day?  Or is it just free unwinding time? More time in the kitchen and more free time and more people asking to eat at different times.  The different foods bought for the weekend.  The heat, the cold, the rain, the lack of energy to exercise.  The extra chores, the cleaning, the cooking, the laundry, the dishes, the shopping, the resting, the dog, the cat, the t.v.,and so on.... If your family likes the treats, do you buy them and do you eat them or not.  If you buy foods you shouldn't eat and you know you shouldn't eat them, can you keep from putting them in your mouth when everyone else is eating it?

OMG I have not been good. I ate too many munchies on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  A gain of two pounds.  I bought all these goodies and I have been eating them all.  Some I bought for Eddie, and some for Sherri, and some for Eric and some for me.  I have eaten them all.  They are so good and I thought yesterday was the end of my munchies, but here I go again today.  The best thing to do is not buy them if you don't have to.  I want my family to have what they want but right now I seem to be eating every snack in sight.

TELL THEM IT WAS FUN WHILE THEY WERE IN TOWN, BUT IT"S TIME FOR THEM TO GO VISIT SOMEONE ELSE! Then get through that day without the little hateful demons!

For many women it's TOM that starts the munchies.  What has that Eve done to us? No wonder we lose control.  Look at the lack of control she showed us and now has cursed us, lol.  That right we can trace it back to her.  It all her fault.

Ok so I brushed my teeth and used the listerine that I hate.  Let's see how that works, now that I have already eaten way to much.  Thanks for the post Iamcapable.  Marie

Marie,

Wow do I know how you feel. I can't buy. I can't picked those little tasty treats up for my friends. I can't be around them. I am hypnotized and in their power. I have to keep them out of sight. I kept a little bag of chips in the house in order to prove to myself that I had control...YEAH RIGHT...I ate those suckers yesterday after my day of enjoying peppermint patty after pepermint patty. I need to carry around a bottle of Listerine too;-)  Jeannine

It's the creamy chocolate that started it all off.  Yep that's right.  It gets those taste buds going and going and going and they become like the energizer bunny that keeps on going. Then the snack mix that had sweet and salty all mixed in together.  Your mouth really is having a party then.  Darn sweet tooth of mine.  Marie
