Harsh word. I've lived a life surrounded by people who have struggled with addiction. I have prided myself on not being on of them. I don't drink, do drugs or smoke. Well I've come to terms with the fact I have an addiction. I'm addicted to food and sweets. Hard for me to admit. But it is true. When I am upset, worried, frustrated, whatever I eat. I eat comfort foods. I eat chocolate, cookies. candy, whatever I can find. This is day 2 of no sweets for me. Detox. I have already failed. I ate 2 thin mints without batting an eye. I'm not gonna cave though. I will get this under control. I also know I'm not alone. Come on fess up. It feels good. What's your vice? Food, candy, potato chips, Starbucks, what would do you run to when life happens? What do you think you could not go a week without? Spill it here..... It's ok. No one is reading......

I have to say that mine is chocolate as well. I think for girls it is an easy fix. I once went the entire Lent season with no sweets. It was HARD!!! I mean, HARD, but the lesson there that was for me was the sacrifice. As hard as that lesson was, I might just need to learn it again!
