I've been hiding something lately. It's probably not what you think, actually I'm certain it's not what you think. You'll probably be shocked when you find out and quite frankly I can't believe I'm even telling you all this but it's time to tell the world. The truth is...

I've been hiding Swiss Rolls in my cupboard!
There I said it. I'm so ashamed.
I'm not sure how it started; I've never even really liked sweets. I went for years and years without ever even eating my own birthday cake (or anyone else's). I just don't LOVE chocolate, or cake, or sweets or donuts or anything of the sort. So how did I ever develop this crazy addiction to Swiss Cake Rolls? So much so that I've been buying boxes and HIDING THEM from everyone!! I eat one for breakfast, then again for a midday snack and I've been known to have one before bedtime if it's been a really stressful day.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEEEE??????
This all started since I've had Aidan, so just in the last 6 months and the Swiss Cake Roll thing really only started in the last 3 months. One day back in January I was at the grocery store and I saw a box of them and thought..yummmm. So I bought them, brought them home, ate one, put the rest in the cupboard and a couple of days later when I went to get another one THEY WERE ALL GONE!! I guess the kids must've found them. I was so heart broken over the loss of my little swiss rolls that I vowed to never put them in the cupboard again and that's when I started hiding them. BUT SOMEHOW hiding them meant I had an all access pass to eat however many I wanted, whenever I wanted....and so the addiction grew.
So did my behind and my post pregnancy belly.
The fact is I was skinnier IMMEDIATELY AFTER I had the baby then I am 6 months later!! I naturally have a small framed body and this new weight is just not okay on me. Add to that the fact that I'm approaching 30 and my body just doesn't seem to want to cooperate like it used to. AARGH. I really shouldn't be complaining but still.
THIS HAS TO STOP! 15 pounds heavier than my pre-baby weight!! OUCH! That hurts just saying it....
I need to get my behind to the gym but that is so hard with 6 kids, 3 of whom are still home with me everyday. No room for a treadmill or any other exercise equipment in this house. I'm really at a loss here.
All I know is those little chocolate-y, creamy, ooey gooey yummy Swiss Cake Rolls are ruining my body.
DARN YOU LITTLE DEBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Little Debbie pieces of the devil are quite good and I'll admit to eating a few (or many) boxes as well. The last few months have also been particularly bad for me though my weakness lies in Rieces Peanut Butter ANYTHING. I'm so addicted, it's ridiculous. If I were your neighbor we could switch of watching each others' kids so we could BOTH make runs to the gym!
LOL...this post had me falling over. so funny. i think everyone has that sudden realization that there is something wrong and it is ALWAYS easy to find the source.
that little debbie made a deal with the devil i tell ya,
way too good and soooo BAD for you!
The church has an addiction recovery program ;)
Ok, Seriously, find a gym with child care. That has been a LIFESAVER for me! I actually enjoy running and lifting weights now :)
If that doesn't work, just put your kids in a bike trailer, and hauling extra kid weight plus bike trailer weight is a REALLY good hard workout :)
I am a chocolate addict and I am not ashamed. I love really good chocolate. But it is expensive. When we were first married my husband did not approve of buying such things for the budgets sake. so I bought them and hid them after baby #2. 2 kids broke down all of my will power. One day, DH found them and we started to share. Now we are both chubs.
sorry for laughing, but this post made me smile...mostly because right at this moment I am eating some chocolate easter eggs that I got out of my secret stash. If you kick Little Debbie out, please tell her to stop by my house and pick up all my secret stash. :)
I LOVE YOU!!!!
Actually, it was JUST what I thought you were going to say! Well, ok, not exactly, but I knew it was chocolate something for mommy only :) How did I know???? Heehe :)
It was my pregnancy with Claire that started my chocolate desire and it grew with Amelia and with Abbie it was pretty intense - partially, a lot actually, due to the medicinal effect. TMI for most, ask and I'll tell :)
A gym? Are you serious?!?!? FYI - several years ago we did a study with a BYU group. Every family member wore a pedometer and reported their steps every day for a week. Guess who had the most steps??? Not the students who had PE classes and walked miles and miles of halls at school, not mr. professional who walks from his office to the lab to the patient room over and over, nope, it was ME! The stay at home mom who went grocery shopping, went up and down the stairs countless times changing laundry, returning items, etc. Forget the gym darling, you're getting a workout!
And being over 30 isn't so bad.
Keep up your mommy treat :) that's from me and your mom :)
Love you!
I'm sooo with you sister! I used to be able to eat so much more ... but as 40 has snuck on me, I'm finding that my hiney is not as willing to give up the calories as it used to ... BOOH!
Amen sister! I hear ya!
Not with Swiss rolls.. but other calorie monsters.
I HAVE to lose weight now that I have some health issues.. and I have been GREAT for 4 weeks.. but am not looking forward to Easter.
I need to PRAY for some great willpower!
That is hysterical!!!! I love it! Don't be ashamed, everyone has one or more of those "sweet" addictions! Besides the first step towards recovery is admittance, or something like that! GOOD LUCK!
Hiding sweets is a right of passage for mothers. I keep Lindt truffles in my underwear drawer AT ALL TIMES.
Oh so bad and yet so good. :) I feel ya. :)
I'm a white chocolate Bliss stasher. Though I don't have any now, because Emma found my hiding spot and shared with Leah almost the whole bag! She saved me one. One, I tell you! I'm a big advocate for Zumba on Wii! Once I get past beginner and work out for longer than 20 minutes, I'm sure it will nake up for all of the yummy things I eat all day. Right?
