Addicted to....

[starsthrumysoul]

I just realized that I am addicted to rice crispy treats.

Last year, I decided to make a pan after remembering that I loved them as a child and would buy them OFTEN at college. I ate the entire pan. The next day I made a double batch, thinking that the single batch didn't fill the pan enough. I again at the entire pain (though it took me a little longer than a day!).

As a counselor for a large health organization, we serve snacks to our teens during group sessions. Usually it's bags of chips or granola bars. Yesterday they got the pre-made rice crispy treats. I've already eaten two and they're STILL on my mind!

What are you addicted to?

Me too!!! Although, it has to be the Baked BBQ chips..OMG I can't put them down! My other addiction is subs. Subway, Jimmy Johns, Cousins, whatever from where ever, I LOVE subs! They also go pretty good with Baked BBQ chips ;)

[MrsFuchs09]

I'm addicted to Hess (The Gas Station) smoothies and cigarettes.

I drink the smoothies for breakfast everyday and I usually buy one on the way home from work. Now, I want one...badly. I'll probably stop by tonight. :)

Cigarettes? Yeah, if I don't have one every five hours...I freak out.

[SkippyNXC]

i should also add coffee... i have 2 big cups like 4 days/week... it used to be everyday but i'm tryign to cut down so 1 day i only have 1 cup n then on the weekend i have none...



not to start nothin... but i don't understand why so many ppl of my generation n younger smoke... when it's been clear for such a long time it kills your body... [/rant]

[gwenshack]

Great thread! :)

Gwen is addicted to numerous things. I'm addicted to my husband :soppy:, coffee, diet soda (ok, caffeine...), those Jimmy Dean D-Lite breakfast sandwiches (I eat them every morning and DH says it's a disease at this point), flossing (I compulsively HAVE to), crossword puzzles (and the harder the better), several TV shows that I'm embarassed to admit, and shopping - I can hold off on the shopping thing when need be, but, when it comes down to it, I have a NEED to buy a purse. I love a good purse...:soppy:

[amisteratwisterandme]

My biggest addiction is to CLEARANCE: Doesn't matter if I would buy something normally or not, if I get it for a good deal, I purchase it.

This has led to a part of my closet being set up for gifts. Works out well though when I need a last minute gift to give to someone. I just go shopping in my closet :)

[MrsDM]

several TV shows that I'm embarassed to admit,

Ahh yes, me too! I'm hopelessly addicted to reality TV!

[FutureMrsWilson]

I am addicted to Gatorade G2 (their low calorie drink, especially in Strawberry-Kiwi, Lemon-Lime [which i normally hate], and Fruit Punch).
I usually drink water - but every now and then I need flavor!

RUNNING. Sometimes its hard to get motivated - but once I get on a treadmill or a few feet down the road at my house - I'm in that "zone".

And.
BOILED PEANUTS. Every time I get back to GA, I get a bag from the store down the road.

[Tadswife]

I'm addicted to coffee.. need 2 cups when I wake up to even begin to plan my day.. smoking..yucky habit, but I do it...:bbcry:The Dollar store.. I have to make a daily trip there or my day is not complete.. just even to browse.. I almost think i'm OCD when it comes to that place....
Coca Cola.. I can't seem to keep my hands off that stuff... I have like 4 cups a day! :o And of course my dh and my puppy..

[Mrs.Goff]

I'm addicted to food and it's not a good thing! I'm working on it though.

I've managed to quit smoking, it's been 2 years now. I've also recently gave up sodas and for me that wasn't easy. I'm that person that drank nothing but sodas and my favorites were Mt. Dew and Vault both loaded with caffeine and JUNK! It's been 5 weeks since my last soda and I have no urge to have any. DH hasn't quit yet but has cute way back. So there are sodas in the house and I haven't touch them! YaY, ME!

I'm also addicted to Slim Jims.:bbredface: If I see them I MUST have one. Therefore it is important that I do not go in to convenience stores. haha

[MrsFuchs09]

You're not starting anything...it's very hard to understand, even for me. I think it's because people don't care about their bodies...and as for the younger people, I think it's because their stupid, like I was when I started. I started three years ago, at 15, all because my then best friend smoked around me constantly. Then one day I asked for a cigarette, curious, and she happily gave me one. I did that for three months, then decided to get my own packs....and I've been doing it since. I'm barely friends with that girl now too.

FH and I are going to quit after the wedding, or at least we'll try...until we succeed. I didn't want to gain weight and not be able to fit in my dress, so once we got engaged I put quitting off. My mom gained 60 pounds after she quit. :bbeek:

But anyway, back on topic, I'm also addicted to Facebook. Sad, but true.

I can't give you any more rep :irked:

But - CONGRATS on cutting out both smokes and sodas! I noticed after a few months of cutting out the sodas that I had way more energy. Every now and then, if I want that "sodaness" I will drink one of those itty-bitty 6 oz cans (and lately, it tastes so syrupy I can't even finish one of those).

And since someone else replied to this I will as well -

As a preface, I don't smoke and never have. However, yes, cigs have negative effects on your body. But SO MANY things have been proven time and time again to "kill" you, increase your chances of cancer, increase your chances of heart-disease, gum disease, this disease and that disease.

My opinion is - you know the consequences, make your choices. Just so long as when you get lung cancer you don't act like you didn't know it was a possibility, so be it. But, my mom smokes, and not only is she smokin' hot, she's one of the physically healthiest women I know.

AND I TOTALLY don't mean any of this to sound like I have an attitude! I used to say the SAME THING you do :)

Just wanted you to know in a way I agree, but in another it's one of those "Oh well" things

I think part of it also has to do with thinking you won't get hooked on them. And most people who start smoking are 18 or younger and they think they're immortal. And then people get hooked and keep repeating the habit long after they realize they're not. At least that was my experience...

[Heywie]

I'm addicted to...
dessert of any kind, farm town on facebook, Target & Barnes and Noble (i just wander around in there for hours), and caffeine!

That certainly is a good point. The last thing from my mind was, "I'm going to be addicted."

Now, I feel trapped by them...

[WebLady]

I love rice crispy treats, but wouldn't say I am addicted those.

I'd say chocolate for sure; I am a sucker for a good dessert ... heck I just like food in general, but I am picky.

I am defiantly addicted to the computer/internet and OneWed too :D

[gwenshack]

Um, yeah, ditto...:) The internet connection goes down and I freak out...it's so funny.

[yam102284]

Any junk food. Candy, chocolate, cookies, brownies, chips etc. I love it all.

Carbs. I love bread and pasta way too much. I love spaghetti, and have to limit myself when eating it for dinner. With the combo of the junk food and carbs, it's been hard to control my weight.

Reality TV. Big Brother is my favorite.

Farmville and games on Facebook.

Facebook in general.

Forums. I love being involved in forums and meeting new people.

[~MrsTyson~]

definetly chocolate! I seriously feel like something else takes over my body when there is chocolate around. ONe of these days I think I'm just gonna pig out on chocolate til I make myself sick then see if that dont cure me...hey, it worked for TEQUILA :D



oh, and shoes!:soppy:

[Ninedays9]

I am addicted to.... the internet and Mountain Dew. I get very bored if I don't have the internet. The few days when we moved in and didn't have it felt like forever.

[lilmsjess]

I'm addicted to coffee, nicotine and anything sweet.

unfortunately i'm with you, especially if you add REAL southern sweet tea to it...ya know, a gallon of sugar with a quart of tea, versus a gallon of tea and 2 cups of sugar? :rofl: gets me EVERY time...PLUS chris HATES tea, so when i make it, it's MINE all MIIIINE!

OH! I forgot sweet tea!! How did I forget sweet tea??? Sweet tea from Zaxbys = amazing.

MY sweet tea = even better

[Century Guy]

Fast food for me. But...after having been on South Beach (diet) for the past two weeks, my craving/addiction has been incredibly reduced. Bad carbs are terribly addicting, and you literally have to tear yourself away from them for a minimum of two weeks...COMPLETELY, to let your blood chemistry reset so you don't crave them so much.

I've lost 10-11 lbs.

Now...I think I'm getting addicted to balsamic vinegar. Makes things taste AMAZING. :)

[kgvettegirl]

I haven't had sweet tea (homemade, real sweet tea) since May when I got diagnosed with diabetes. My mouth is watering as I type it. But I'm not going to have any. I've lost 20 pounds so far and when I reach my goal maybe I'll go to Chick-fil-a to celebrate, cause I should be able to go off the medicine by then.

Buttermilk double dipped fried chicken like my grandmother made it. YUM
fried in Crisco in a cast iron skillet. CRISPY with the skin still on. Colonel Sanders would have been a Five Star General if he had used her recipe.

[mitch]

Addicted to Drinking Tea. Smoking. Haribo Sweets. And eBay. :redface:

Friends say i'm addicted to moving house. But that habit is stopped this weekend. ;)

[shopmysongs]

When I make mine I add M&M's. Yummmy!

[Nekochanpurr]

Tea. Stuff with sweet potato... Oh, and anime, manga, video games.. :3

[pinkbride]

my new addiction is salad with blue cheese sauce! its truly yummy and will make me pile back on the pounds iv lost! ****! (this is making me want it more so!!)

I also love shopping, FH says money has an effect on me that makes me spend it even on silly things! Iv been a tad better since saving for the wedding though!!

I am actually a bit addicted to weddings lol I love how romantic they are and how happy they make people!

My chihuahua, pets and hubby are amongst other addictions i have ;)

great thread!!!

[fireprincess2009]

Addictions - man have I got um. Coffee, Diet Pepsi, sweets of any kind, stupid reality shows, weighing myself (yup - at least twice a day), my hair straightener (could not live without it) and flirting. That's right - newlywed still flirts.

[NOTKT]

I think I'm with the OP (original post) and I love home made rice krispies. I do eat most when I make them. DH doesn't like them too much, yay for me.

Other things are the internet and anything sweet. I'm starting back up on a diet soon so no more sweets. For the fist month at least. :) Oh! That's reminds me, I'm addicted to ice cream. If its in the freezer, it will be gone in a week. Ugh.

[Bunnyfeet]

those Jimmy Dean D-Lite breakfast sandwiches (I eat them every morning and DH says it's a disease at this point)

I am addicted to those too!!!
