My weakness is golden Oreos. I fear that someday I will end up eating one of those big packages in a single day.

1 “Family Size” bag? Family? Ha!

I am become my own family, because I cannot and will not stop until I am feeling sick.

Yeah, the official “serving size” for Ruffles is TWELVE CHIPS!

Add pizza to my list. I will eat it until I puke, then go back for more. I always say I’m like a dog with pizza.

salted & roasted almonds.

If I am eating them in my car, I will throw the bag in the back seat after a couple handfuls. So that I can’t reach it.

Yep- the cheddar cheese cracker ones do it for me. They’re kind of hard to find around here for some reason. The pretzel ones are everywhere but the crackers are harder to find. Probably a good thing!

Cherries, chocolate, cheese, and those sweet Hawaiian rolls… I need to go grocery shopping…

Not eating, but drinking: It’s been almost 50 years since I last had strawberry soda pop, but I saw a 1.5 litre bottle of strawberry Fanta in the supermarket on Thursday and bought it on impulse. Now I’m working on my second bottle—I can’t stop drinking the stuff! ☹

**M&M’s.**

It’s been a long time but at holiday season my used-to-be Mother-in-law would make up dozens of [Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts](http://savorysweetlife.com/2009/12/appetizer-bacon-wrapped-water-chestnuts/) (she may have had a different recipe) but I could eat my weight in those things!

There was a time when there was no limit to the number of Krystal “hamburgers” that I could eat in one sitting.

Also a long time ago, but homemade peach ice cream where you would help crank the container as it sat in a bucket of salted ice. There was never enough.

Pecans in the shell.

M&Ms.

Never overindulged to the point of vomiting (although one of my college friends did while in the throes of PMS) but I did give myself a temporary case of gastritis. That was quite uncomfortable.

Still like them, however, and she does too.

I made the mistake of making my own special blend of nut mix (Toasted pecans and cashews)

I see now why Planter’s sticks all those inferior nuts in their “Deluxe Mixed Nuts”, it’s to keep people from becoming hopelessly addicted to them. It’s their moral responsibility!  
Brazil nuts do have a purpose after all.

Same. When I have a pizza, I pretty much have to eat the entire thing because I love it so much. That came back to bite me last week, though. I normally try to go to bed on an empty stomach, because I need to take sleeping pills to get to sleep and _stay_ asleep, and if I have a full stomach, the pills take way too long to kick in. I bought a Red Baron frozen pizza, and decided that I was only going to eat a quarter of it. But I couldn’t stop, and devoured the entire thing. Next thing you know, I was feeling completely bloated, it was almost time to take my pills, and this really sucked. I had to make myself puke up as much of it as I could.

Yes! Are yours boiled? Grandmama fixed them that way when I was a kid and it’s been forever since I had any as good. We kids would just sit around getting fat on them! 🙂
