SNACKTIME FAVORITES
I’M SUFFERING WITHOUT
I miss you guys! Most of all at about 2:00 in the afternoon.
As part of my self-proclaimed September Fitness Month, I have tried to work out more, eat better, and live without candy altogether. It’s been harder than I thought it would be. While I have only fallen off the wagon once – and since it was while at the movies, I’m not sure it should count – I find that I constantly want to go to the vending machine and grab one of these economically priced, readily available, always dependable sugar fixes.
1) Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds
2) Butterfinger
3) Three Musketeers
4) Hershey’s Special Dark
5) York Peppermint Patties
6) Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
7) Peanut M&M’s
8) Mary Janes
9) Bit o’ Honey
10) Tootsie Rolls
11) Sno-caps (but only at the movies)
12) Twizzlers (see above)
13) Starburst (original flavor only)

I can't divorce myself of any of the enumerated yummies. I can't divorce bacon, either. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWell, some of the yummies aren't on my yummy list... but it's the principle of the matter...
I've had to give it all up. It hurts - sometimes ;-)
ReplyDeleteEspecially since I was brought up in a sweets shop.
Wow, you have economically priced products in vending machines where you live? Maybe I should consider moving to Chicago.
ReplyDeleteReese's Peanut Butter Cup is the one I would miss most.
By the way, I wouldn't count your movie snack as a slip.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, did you have to go and mention Butterfingers? I love those, and I'm trying to cut down on sugary, chocolately, fattening full of cholesterol foods.
ReplyDeleteWhere's my keys?
Stop by for my T-13 if you can find time to do so...it's just a conglomerate of photos.
Your list makes me laugh. When my sister and I were kids our mother told us that candy bars and the gum in the bubble gum machines were mad by bad people who don't like little children.
ReplyDeleteWe still don't eat candy bars or bubble gum.
Godiva truffles are another story.

Oh my gosh. I'd go crazy without my Dove dark chocolate squares! Ack! I wish you luck in your quest to be healthier.
ReplyDeleteJelly Beans or Mike and Ike would be missed by me!!
ReplyDeleteRead one of the other comments, lol, wish my mom had told me candy was evil!
I love all of them. Times of day dictate whether I go for fruity or chocolaty. Usually, the latter is the best choice for me!
ReplyDeleteI need chocolate now!!! Time to run to the store.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I'm a dark chocolate fiend, so I could probably do very nicely without all the things on this list... until Halloween. :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, you are my hero if you can go without that stuff. I am too weak. I will have a candy bar for you ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy T13!
I don't have a sweet tooth but I wouldn't mind those Dark Hershey's! :)
ReplyDeleteYikes! No chocolate? I suppose you're going to tell me there's no Santa either? Shudder.
ReplyDeleteI commend you on your dedication to fitness.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I feel sure M&M's and tootsie rolls are not candy?! I am a jelly bean addict myself. Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteOh man.....I love everything on there except bitohoney. Your list made my mouth water;) Happy TT my friend. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMilky Way...or Life Savers Fruit Chews.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I have dark chocolate hidden in my nightie drawer!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...bit o'honey's are the best candy out there. I don't think I could give them up!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Oooooh that is a great list! I'd miss Sour Patch Kids the most, all that sweet and sour yumminess! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteHow could I give up Hershey's Symphony bars? Oh, the agony! I'm hypoglycemic and not supposed to eat it, but I do and will continue to eat it.
ReplyDeleteI'd miss gummi bears and gummy worms and anything gummy.
ReplyDeleteGuess you love candy lol. My list would begin with pizza... Candy I would miss most?? peppermint patties.
ReplyDeleteReese cups and chocolate covered cherries are my weaknesses!
ReplyDeleteOf course now you've got me craving chocolate...
Oh my gosh I so could not live without Twix bars!
ReplyDeleteGreat TT...hmmm can you believe I actually worked for Hershey Foods in Marketing for 13 years but I'm not a big chocoholic or candy lover. I know...blasphemy...but don't tell them...and my kids and hubby more than make up for it...hehe.

White chocolate and Jelly Bellys.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't give up brownies... yummy....
ReplyDeleteYou say it was at the movies? Then that doesn't count. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can stay away from sweets for long but there's not one type that I'd miss most. I would miss Reese's Peanut Butter Cups a LOT.
Aw, you've just triggered a longing for sweets just now. hehe :)
