Swedish Fish Progress

Johnnyswife

My dad is so obsessed with Peeps its ridiculous. The man will literally eat boxes upon boxes of them. Two days ago I found them on sale in a gas station and I bought him 6 boxes. They are already gone. Crazy peep lovers!

We put peeps into the microwave and watch them expand then deflate

Put toothpicks in them and watch them joust. :laugh: :laugh:

I love these too.. and many other chewy candies. I love sweedish berries... Wine Gums.. ju jubes.. mike n ikes.. oh man.. definetely my weakness!!!

Here in Canada we have THE BULK BARN.. where you buy these candies in bulk for a cheaper price than prepackaged. THis place is sooo deadly!! I try not to go.. or if I do I try to get healthy stuff. I too would leave with a LARGE bag of gummy candies. I went the other day to get my boyfriend pistachios and I left with unsalted pretzels and a very very small amount of jelly beans

Ok so I DO love Swedish Fish....BUT I will ONLY eat them if I ball them up in a big gummi ball...I refuse to eat them individually for some reason lol

I love swedish fish.......last year I was addicted to Rita's Swedish Fish Italian Ice. I haven't been to a Rita's at all this year. That's huge for me and considering there is one less than a 1/2 a mile from my house and I have to pass it every day.

whaaaa?? :laugh: :laugh: How funny, what an item! Although I've never tried Italian Ice to think they actually made a Swedish Fish one is proof there are more of us that have gummy candy issues:blushing: :huh:

Well I'll admit I do love chocolate but the German brand Gummi Bears are my actual weakness...swoon can you love a Gummi Bear? I think SO:smooched: The problem is exactly what you shared, it's hard to stop at one and well, I think it's actually impossible!!!:smokin:

:ohwell: I try to stay clear but those babies stare me down in stores when I walk down the wrong aisle and instill great guilt upon me for not taking them home. ugh, it's terrible:noway: :laugh:

Well I know (I think) the size of bags of Swedish Fish you're talking about and they aren't the Halloween snack size candy bar 3 lb. bags so I understand how few bags can slip out of the store with you. I think if you can manage the 100 cal packs of them, maybe 1 portion in the evening as a treat you'll be safe.

Personally I don't buy the 100 cal packs (of any type) for several reasons (anymore:blushing: ), one being 1 serving can become 1 box. Did I read the portion wrong?:laugh: :laugh: :ohwell: :glasses:

Hey good luck with the cut back, I think you'll do great:drinker:

Just came across this video, this may be exactly what I need for those gummi bear cravings I get every so often. It's likely to scare me off from them! Bwwwwwwwwhahahhaha:noway:

Alright, here it is. I have an obsession with Swedish Fish. Not just a little one, a very serious one. I would buy 2-3+ 1lb bags of these babies a week!!! I know, I know.

Anyway I have gone 2 whole weeks without one bite! This is huge for me and I am very proud of myself.

I am hoping to be in enough control by the time my 26th birthday rolls around in August so that I can have a 100 calorie pack without eating the whole box. I feel like I can do it!

Do you love swedish fish too???

btw wondering how's the Swedish Fish addiction, success?:drinker:

Mmmm I love Swedish Fish but for me the real temptation is Skittles... have NOT been able to resist them once in a while. Congrats on your willpower

I have the EXACT same problem with sunflower seeds!
I could eat a 1lb bag of seeds in two hours, and I have before!

Its really hard when you have a legitimate food addiction, I know.

My family refuses to let me buy seeds now and if they see that I have them they dump them in the back yard
