I’ve Got A Bad Habit

[A little old school Offspring for you in the title]

I’m addicted to sugar. Insanely, passionately addicted. It’s half the reason my butt is too big for most chairs and my gut hangs out of my shirts. Of course the other half of the reason is that I’m lazy, but that’s besides the point here.

I wish I could just say no, but I’m not half as strong as Christine to just put away the sweet stuff. Though considering I’ve quiting smoking and quit drugs I’m pretty sure this addiction is more about lack of want to change. I mean, why would I want to stop eating and drinking the yummy, fattening, so bad for m, packaged crap after the kids are in bed.

Oh, yeah.

Could it be the disgusting health effects, the eco-terror in the form of packaging, the cost of buying all those sugary treats? Nope, I’m vain so the answer would have to be the gut I’ve got. I mean, I’m a mom, I’m going to have a little extra lovin’ there but I’m bordering on ridiculous, and loathing it. And loathing Dearest’s mother whispering to him in the next room if I’m pregnant and blah blah blah. Don’t worry, not pregnant just fat. Is it sad that I almost wish I was just to have a better excuse for my bulging midsection?

Add to it the commercials for Hydroxycut coming on every ten minutes and we’re working on a recipe for some self-loathing. Just stir in a little “Gah, why can’t I just stop eating this crap!” to the “WTF? I can’t zip my jeans? I’m so fat!” and let bake in the summer sun where I’m too embarrassed to wear my cooler tops that show off too much belly rolls. Don’t forget a generous helping of body issues from the girl who used to look like this. And well, you get my point.

Now I’m upset and looking for the Twinkies to sooth me over. See? I’m addicted!
