I Traded In One Addiction for Another

Tweet

Sigh. It's been 55 or 56 days since I gave up chocolate bars. In the interim I've been eating a protein bar called One Protein Hershey's Bar that has only 1 g of sugar and fewer carbs and more protein and fiber than real chocolate. And now I'm addicted to them. I traded my chocolate bar addiction for a protein bar addiction. There's a couple of problems with that. One is that protein bars have Malitol in them, which is known to mess with your stomach if you eat too much of it. Two is that the bars still have too many carbs in them if I eat more than 1 a day. And three, I don't want to be addicted to anything. So I'll finish the boxes of the protein bars that I have in my pantry but I won't buy any new ones. I can't eat them in moderation - - it's beyond my ability. So I have to do without. Do you have any addictions? May I ask what they are?
