This definitely does not garner it’s own post but I’m doing it anyways. Because I’m bored and boring and food is always on my mind.
I made a mistake. I make this mistake pretty much everytime I go to buy candy for work. I buy stuff that I like and then I inevitably eat the whole package.
I bought a 400 Midgee (I feel a little politically incorrect calling them midgees) pack of Tootsie Rolls. I have somehow managed to eat about 300 hundred of them on my own. If you looked in my trash right now it would be a Tootsie Roll graveyard. A mass burial would be a better term for it. I haven’t felt any ill effects (or is it affects I hate English sometimes) from it.
I’m just going to throw this out there…it’s probably helping my digestion more than hurting it. If you think about Tootsie Rolls they actually resemble–well, nevermind. According to the package you can eat 12, YES TWELVE, for only 3 grams of fat and 130 (empty) calories!
And if anyone has any advice on how to make Lexi (below) look LESS fake black and shiny in Photoshop Elements I would love that. Thanks…
Hi Everybody! I'm Angela. I love my dogs, adore my husband and try to make the best out of everyday! 
Good thing I’m not there…I could easily finish off the last 100 for you.
“I feel politically incorrect” hahahaha!
I would SO do the same thing, only I would not have 100 left. Just to make you feel better, did you know Tootsie Rolls are not even chocolate?
I am currently doing the same thing but with a 1 lb bag of Twizzlers
Oh I LOVE Twizzlers! And give me til the end of the week–I’m sure the rest of the bag will be gone!
Oh man I am so jealous. I ate an entire package of dried apricots and felt SO sick. 200 Tootsie Rolls and no ill effects…you are a goddess!
That is my problem too. And then I can’t figure out why I gain weight. I love the picture of Lexi with her little head tilt!!
Oh Tootsie rolls do it to me also, they are so addicting!!
Effects = noun… Affects=verb. it had no “Effect” on you or you could have said, if did not “Affect” you. The easy way for me to remember is a verb is an action word. Action and Affect both start with “a”…
I totally get the tootsie roll thing. And since you’ve only eaten about 300 – you still have about 100 left. Here’s a little trick once they start getting “hard”… put a few in your pocket, and put your hands in your pocket several times. This “warms” them up and softens them a little… mmm. my addiction tho, is smarties. the fact that I get to arrange and sort them by color does NOT feed into my OCD in the least bit… NOPE, NOT me… hehehehe.
Thanks for the diet tip. I actually prefer the Ben & Jerry’s diet myself…
Well-said! Listen, I wanted to introduce myself. I’m Aunt Julie, Veggie Mom’s SIL. Veggie is retiring today as the proprietress at Eat Your Veggies! today, and I’m stepping in. I realize I have really BIG shoes to fill, but I’m up to the challenge. Please come by and wish Veggie a fond farewell on her last post. Look forward to seeing you over at my new place!
Cute pups. What breed(s) are they? Are they siblings?
