August 13, 2010Dear Nabisco,
Please, please stop making Oreos.
Please.
You see, I have no willpower. Whatsoever! I can't even muster up enough willpower to stop my husband and daughter from stowing away a pack of delicious Double Stuf Oreos at the grocery store when I know full well I'm going to be the one who ends up eating them all. Every last one.
It really is cruel to have invented such a delicious, fat-ridden cookie especially when one is breastfeeding and feels the right/need to consume high caloric goodies throughout the day. I'm a human cow and must graze continually. It's also cruel to stock shelf after shelf of your cookies at the store because as a granddaughter to one of your retired salesmen, I can't help but find a package that needs a good home. It brings back memories of getting all the "broken" packages of your cookies, crackers, and other treats as a kid. Plus, your packing is MUCH too easy to get in to now. Had you keep it the way it was years ago, when you had to pull out the entire tray of cookies, I would probably get deterred in my grazing before realizing that I have consumed all but one lonely cookie. Which only lasted long enough for me to take a picture of my sin as proof that I need help.
So please, for the sake of my post-babies body, stop making Oreos.
I just picture the inside of the Oreo as a big ole layer of Crisco, and that does the trick for me (in the avoidance department!). :) Now, if we're talking peanut butter M&Ms........
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I learned the whole "eating the entire box of Oreo's" thing from you...either that or you learned it from me. Regardless, maybe from now on you and I should just share a box.
