LOL. I have a potato chip problem.  

Are they the flavored ones like popcorn, and you try to guess the flavor? Those are fun and ya. I'll never buy them! I did the same with candy coated almonds a few days ago. They are gone gone for good.  

Like Morticia, I have a potato chip problem. But I was really thinking about buying candy at the grocery store the other day. Starbursts were on sale, I also looked at a bag of caramels and a container of orange slices. Luckily, I remembered what happened the last time I bought them..  

Potato chips here. I live with people who are not avoiding chips, so it is hard. 

@AncientHippie. Yep so, so hard when those foods you crave are just laying around. Worse when you see others eating them. My job is notorious for this. Barely a day goes by without some sort of donut, candy or some other food I am avoiding, doesn't get paraded in front of me. 

Starburst jelly beans are the best. I only buy the single serving, 14 ounce bags. :) 

I've been clean (from jelly beans) for more than ten years. I don't get anywhere near them. 

That's me and m&m'sPpeanut ones in the freezer for 15 mins oh boy watch out I could eat a lb of them no joke.I feel ya pain. 

Lol 

Why keep them in the house — you intended to eat them when you bought them.  

if I get bag of jelly beans I can't stop eating them until they're gone. I try to only buy them at Easter. 

you're doing great. it's a process. item by item elimination or substitution. 

@jen yes it’s the gourmet jelly beans. Popcorn flavor. Pears. , strawberries. Root beer oh my!!!! 

@ morticia, Fritz and ancient - I too can’t handle the potato chips. But I already knew it was a problem so I don’t buy it. This is a new one. Who knew I’d like them this much!  

@kay that what I do with the chips. Single serve only. I guess I’m gonna have to do that with these jelly beans. And ya know I bought the big bag from Costco  

@MEK I’m gonna have to do the same and never buy them again or at least do the single serve thing  

@mountainman.. those are my dad’s weakness. But anything small and munchie becomes a problem for me.  

@kenna I’ve bought them before and never over indulged. I don’t know why I now suddenly am addicted to them. I thought it would be like before a treat here and there. Maybe add a few with my pistachio for hiking. Apparently jellybeans are now on the do not buy list with potato chips, and candied pecans.  

@coach yep I’m gonna have to do the same. Easter treat for me is usually the Cadbury egg and Reese peanut butter eggs. Super Bowl time I buy a single bag or so of Doritos. So each once a year.
