Recently, I decided to swear off all candy. I really never ate that much in the first place until I started this night auditor job. You see, we have one of those rotating metal racks, with all kinds of cheapass candy on them. And the fact is, nobody cares if the employess take whatever the hell they want.
So, for months, I would just grab a bag of some form of generic candy and eat it, not because I was genuinely hungry, but more out of some sort of boredom. I recently took note of this pattern of behavior, and decided that it would probably be in my best interest to stop entirely. It's not good for the teeth (regardless of the fact that my teeth are in pretty damned good shape) and even more inportantly, I actually came to the point where I started just feeling gross for putting that shit in my body.
I managed to keep myself candy free for over a month. Then I saw those little foil-wrapped bastards staring at me in Smith's yesterday.
I headed to Smith's after work yesterday to pick up some toothpaste and see if the newest issue of Revolver had come in yet. After I perused the magazine section, I sort of mind-numbingly wandered down a few isles, not really conscious of where I was going or what I was doing. I can't remember what Iwas thinking about, but needless to say, I was zoned.
Suddenly, I was hit with the startling realization that I was surrounded by far too much pink and pastel yellow. Alarmed, I looked around to see where I had wandered, and lo and behold, I was in the Easter candy isle. I had completely forgotten about the holiday entirely. Then the horror struck me. Cadbury Creme Eggs...
Quite possibly the most flat-out unhealthy form of candy in existence, but at the same time, the most impossible to resist. For God's sake, they only come around once a fucking year!! I tried, I seriously tried to just walk away and not buy them. I genuinely did. But the sweet little fuckers sucked me in, dammit!!
So, here I sit. I've devoured three of those hellish little demons in less than an hour. And I've got another box of four sitting at home. God, help me.
