PLEASE HELP!

I'M ADDICTED TO POTATO CHIPS!

Hi my name is Karyn, and I'm a Chip-a-holic!

It's been 2 hours and 10 minutes since my last packet. And I still want more. I can't help it. It's a weakness........must have chips.

• I've tried to stage my own intervention.
• I've admitted I have a problem.
• I've warned my family and friends.
• I've asked for them to be removed from the pantry.
• I've had glasses of water to stave off cravings.
• I've even tried sticking 'post its' on packets saying "Dont Touch"

Nothing works.

I first discovered I had a problem when I was told that as a Coeliac I was no longer allowed to feast on flavoured potato chips except.....the Plain Salt varieties. Since then, I have purchased the plain Smiths chips in all different sizes, but, more recently I having been stocking up the pantry with the largest packets money can buy. Telling myself this is cheaper and more cost effective.

I innocently set about buying the chips for my two boys, as we regularly weigh chips into smaller bags for them to snack on. Alas, innocence turns ugly once I need a fix. Rob took to hiding the packets so the boys didn't miss out, but I frequently find the hidden stash of chips and eat them, and later saying "we must have run out".

Today I was very healthy and made a lovely big salad with tuna and avocado for lunch. So why would I need something more? Surely a big salad is sustainable? Why would I need to hoe into the chips that were screaming at me from the back of the top shelf? Argggh.

Am I the only chip-a-holic around? Or the only one who will admit it?

Please help me find a cure.......or send your donations (of chips).
