Paddywhack Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've got a packet of m&m's hot chocolate at home. About 8 times the last few days, I've opened the cupboard and thought it was a packet of m&m's. It's just like when I was a kid one bonfire night and I kept thinking the firework were these...

Seat68 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I did the same thing last Thursday, you're in for a long day. Are you in a position to 'nip out'. The nearest garage shop will have over priced ear bud headphones, that's how I fixed it. Personally, I'm working from home, if you like I can put some music on and describe it to you... Tesco beckons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds familiar. What I notice is that if I buy some 'treat' food and put it in a cupboard or fridge and forget about it, part of my unconscious knows there is a reward in there but not what it is, and I suddenly get the impulse to go look see, to find out exactly what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is also known as early onset alzheimers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually totally the opposite, last time I went shopping I was eating the cookies in the passenger seat on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the exact opposite, I tend to defer my gratification and I usually associate a tendency towards instant gratification with Americans and Welsh sheep farmers.

Xela Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I need a 'treat' in my cupboard, even if I don't eat it that night or for a few days. I just like knowing its there 'just in case'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I once made a tub of Ben & Jerry's last 2 days. I finally stopped shaking, pulling my hair out and vomiting after I finished it. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't 'do' treats in the sense that I can't be bothered with cakes, biscuits, chocolate or any of that stuff (ice cream not even on the radar). Wouldn't bother me in the slightest if it was or wasn't in the press. Salted snacks on the other hand. Crisps, nuts or anything savoury of that nature and it simply won't last. My current weakness is the big 150g bag of Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli. I would quite happily sit and finish the bag. No sharing So I simply don't walk down that aisle of the supermarket, because I lose control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always take it as proof that I have food issues because I always find this scene from Groundhog Day unreasonably hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
