Desperate sugar addiction calls for desperate measures

I have no power over sugar. I know this, and yet, when faces with a tray of sugar cookies with sugar on top on the clearance table at Wal-mart, all reason went out the window and I bought them. This was Wedensday night. I ate about 3 that night, and yesterday I ate about 8. Today I filled the bag with water so I couldn't dig them out of the trash and eat them.  Gary said just throw them away, but I had to tell him I have been known to get them back out of the garbage can. Thus... the water. 

I guess it isn't really sugar that I am addicted to, since I have a bowl full of hershey's kisses, half dark half milk chocolate, and I am not haunted by them, I rarely eat more than one or two at a time and usually not everyday. So what is it about baked goods that draws me like a bee to a flower? I don't know but I have to think of most sugars as a poison to my body, and baked goods in particular.

So just for today, I will not eat anything baked.   I am having a taco salad for lunch ( I never made it to breakfast today) I got 4 crunchy tacos from Del Taco, the cheap .39 ones, so you know there isn't much meat, emptied out the guts into a bowl, added a whole tomato and some salsa and that is my lunch.
