Jelly Beans Are "Crack"



Recommended Posts

Jelly Beans in my house must be like "Crack" to an addict. I can't keep my hand out of the bowl. I guess I will have to throw them in the trash tonight. I don't really miss too much "bad" stuff but these Jelly Beans have me hooked. I love the darn black ones and the red ones. I will eat green if there are no other colors.. I did not buy chocolate bunnies or peeps so that is probably a good thing. I did buy my husband a chocolate bunny but I haven't touched it. Pray for me that I can get the jelly beans out of my mind and body. Happy Easter to Everyone.

I read your post to my husband & we laughed. Some foods just call our name, LOL.

I'm not a big chocolate fan (thank god), but I do love Starburst jelly Beans. Or, at least I used to. Oddly enough, I think since my sugar intake is 'much' lower these days, I don't enjoy the 'sugary' flavor as much. I must have had maybe 5 pcs in total.

Normally, I'd say that's pretty good, but um, didn't I just say I don't like them as much anymore? So, why did I go past 1?

This weight loss journey is quite psychological. :)

Hang in there!

Laughing out loud.....we still have the jelly Beans sitting on the table. I knew if I started I probably wouldn't stop either. So I feel your plight. Just get rid of em and save yourself the agony.

I only had to read the topic in the "new topic threads" on the right side to "crack" up.

I was somewhere over the holidays where they had a bowl of jelly belly's. It's like looking for gold nuggets. Ooooo, that one looks like it's marshmallow flavor and oooo, coffee flavor and my fav, coconut. Wife had to grab me by my ear to drag me away. :wacko:

I love the gourmet jelly Beans like the jelly belly or the ones you can buy in the candy stores. I believe Ronald Reagan loved them as well but he wasn't obese so he was allowed to eat them. I have removed them from my house and am trying to de-tox today.

For me it is the leftover specialty cheeses. I dreamed up that idea for Easter dinner and won't make that mistake again. No one went for the cheese platter that I could not/cannot stop thinking about. They were happy with the ham, etc. that didn't interest me in the least. Rookie error. No formagio, si!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
