Binge behavior

I am so hungry tonight. It's a good thing I never bought those chips, because if I had managed to keep the bag around this long, they would be gone now. I was at Walgreens tonight and tortilla chips were on sale. The snack food gods hate me.

I used to buy bags of chips and get half way through them before realizing I had even eaten a chip. A few times I actually realized that I was binging my way through a bag and would take measures to stop myself. It's never enough to just throw the bag away. A bag of chips can be taken out of the trash. Even dumping them in the trash wouldn't always work. The chips on top that didn't touch garbage are still edible.

My solution is Dawn. I bet I dumped more Dawn Dishwashing liquid on chips than I ever used to wash dishes (bless you dishwasher!). This would work on ice cream, too, if I had an ice cream problem. Just about any household cleaner type stuff works. I should market that. Diet breakthrough that cleans your toilet too!

Oh, I've used Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla lotion, recently too. I used that on a canister of almonds. I bought some smoked almonds with the idea that I would have them for snacks on nights I have class. Nope. I sat here and ate most of the canister and when I realised I was going to finish it, I covered them in lotion.

It's just better if I don't buy snacks.
