Candies
I have problems with candies. I can’t restrict eating them. When I got them I eat them immediately. Some years ago I was addicted. I ate 500g candies minimum everyday. That’s why I never was too thin boy eventhough I did lots of sport everyday (so much extra energy in sugar). Money, health, teeth… Other guys had problems with tobacco, alcohol, snus but my problem was sugar.
One day I decided to stop buying lemonades, candies, chips, chocolate. Unfortunately my mother didn’t stop. She wanted to get me happy and bought sweets for me. She hid them but that wasn’t a good idea because I found them everytime. After a year my mother realized too that I shouldn’t be eating them that much. Since that day I was in break for over eight months.
In the army I got hooked again. Some ex-smokers began to smoke again but I broke down to candies. I ate maybe 200g everyday in the army for a year. Now it’s been nine months after I left the army and I haven’t stopped eating them. Fortunately it’s much less nowadays, maybe 300g in a week. I must get the sugar in some form after lunch. Maybe a cup of tea with four sugar cubes, or a chocolite tub or just pure honey from bottle.
Yesterday I saw a plagat in a supermarket telling that 900g Haribo candy box is on sale. I bought it. I didn’t open the box yesterday but today after school. Guess what, my stomach is hurting terrible now. I have eaten 700g of them. I’m feeling sick and all that but I still walk to kitchen now and then to get my portion. I really hope that the rest 200g would be gone already. Damn why did I buy it!
This box got me memorizing the bad old days when I got 2.7kg candies for present in the Christmas 1998 (not absolute sure of the year). Actually I got three exactly the same Haribo boxes then (900g * 3 = 2700g = 2.7kg). And oh my goodness I ate them all in the same evening. 2.7kg candies in about 6 hours! I was using a ladle. I was very sick after that. Luckily didn’t end up to hospital.
I’m pretty sure that after those 200g I have got enough of candies for a while. But the sugar has to be got somehow everyday. Lollipops are good ones because you can’t eat many of them in a day. Also Turkish peppers are good for me.
All this might sound unbelievable and hilarious but I’m serious.
