I have a confession to make: I have a serious sweet tooth.
I like most sweets, but there are a few that completely destroy my willpower. If I know they are somewhere in the house, I will almost certainly go looking for them. They will not let me sleep.
The biggest culprits are Cadbury Nutties, Cadbury Dairy Milk Crackle, Kopiko Coffee Candy, Tutti Fruity Ice Cream, and Jalebi. If any of these are sitting in the refrigerator or pantry, they occupy far more space in my mind than they should.
The real problem is that I can never stop at just one bite. One becomes two, two becomes several, and before I know it, half the stash has disappeared.
And if I am having a particularly strong craving, you cannot trust me around a box of Bournvita either. I have been known to sneak a spoonful straight from the box. Sometimes more than one.
I am fully aware of the problem. Unfortunately, awareness has done very little to solve it.
