How Sweet It Is

I have a massive sweet tooth. It is dangerous to leave chocolate within a half-mile radius of me, because I will find it, and I will eat it.

Ever since I first moved to this town and lived on my own, I just flat-out refused to keep sugary foods in the house. It's safer for everyone this way. I'm much less likely to eat dessert if I have to go buy it first, because I'm cheap and lazy.

I started buying Nutella as a way of keeping me out of the candy jar at work. I always get hungry mid-morning and mid-afternoon, and that jar of Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers beckoned constantly. I found that if I just got some Nutella and spread it on a rice cake and ate that instead, not only was I satisfied, but I didn't feel the need to go get candy.

This week on a whim I grabbed a jar at the grocery store. It had been a little while since I'd had any, and since I still try to keep dessert-stuffs out of the house, I was excited to have a nice, "healthier" treat that I could have once in a while.

"Once in a while" turned into eating it straight out of the jar with a spoon.

I don't think this counts as "healthier."

Do you love dessert like me? Do you love Nutella? Matt thinks it's disgusting, so I get the whole jar to myself. :)
