I have a problem ...... Crisps.

axisus

For years I ate a packet a day at work, always at 4.00pm with a nice hot cup of tea. Around 3 years ago, I decided to quit them as I thought that the salt was probably not helping my highish blood pressure. It was really hard, but I gave up. I decided to never buy crisps, but allow myself some at buffets etc. All was good for 2.5 years, but then a problem arose ......... my  boss turned up at work with a big packet of Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli crisps that we could all share. they were the best crisps ever!!!!! I could not resist them, and before I knew it every other week I was buying a big 150g packet with my Monday shop and making it last 3 days. That was then, but now I find myself buying a 150g packet every Monday and stuffing them all in one morning. I just love them, and I can't resist them once open. I think I need to try and do a serious quit again, but it will be harder as this flavour is AMAZING!!!!

Damn my lack of self control. Here's the bastards:

Crisps are ace, improve any sandwich 10000000% very few I don't like. Not the healthiest of snacks but there we go.

And your pre-quit levels were a a pack a day so that's where it's heading.  Which is why I don't ever have cream crackers in the house!  "Oh just have a few...." -- it ain't ever gonna happen.  Just get them out of the list of available choices... cos it's never a "choice" with these things; it's a foregone conclusion how it's going to go... eventually. 

Willpower is much easier when the available choices are all pretty decent.

I've never been much of a crisp eater but I'm on a packet of Corfresh hot chilli potato hoops most days now. Something properly spicey, yumm. http://www.toorsupermarket.com/ekmps/shops/toorsupermarket/images/cofresh-hot-chilli-potato-hoops-2039-p.jpg

The ultimate crisps are the noble Chipsticks. I could eat 10 packs of them in a row and never get bored, and I love the way they stick too your teeth. A snack that keeps on giving!!!

Coke a cola was my vice, I used to drink four litres of the stuff a day, and when I quit drinking it I was physically ill with withdrawal, it shocked me after I stopped drinking the stuff not just how addicted I was to it, but how addictive the drink can be.

It's not just the excess salt and fat, the flavourings in these things are very suspect. I have related before that my sister worked for a firm that sold concentrated flavourings for foods including crisps. They had to be shipped with HazChem notices. Do you really want to put that in your body?

These for the win,

Bobbys salt n vinegar spirals are propr nice as are are any bacon frazzle things

These are the best though, Aldi and sainsburys do them too.

I like my crisps to taste of potato. Walkers Ready Salted for me.
