Same. Current strategy is to put them somewhere hard to get to and leave the bag there. It works a little.

Iā€™m the same. Only this morning my wife had told my son he could have a biscuit and came and asked where the ones sheā€™d bought last week were. As if.

I live alone and I donā€™t stock any evil foodstuffs in my house at all. Iā€™m not a sweet tooth so chocolate and sweets arenā€™t so bad, but I still donā€™t generally have them. Snack foods like corn chips, spicy nut and cracker snacks etc, thereā€™s no fucking way I stock those in my house. Ditto beer, ditto open bottles of spirits. I can have closed bottles of wine in the house without opening them. This is all just necessary for me, like if I had corn chips in the house all the time I would probably be 50lb heavier. I donā€™t find it an imposition as I was raised in a healthy household, owing partly to my sister having juvenile diabetes.

Iā€™m the same with pretty much any food I like. I solved it by never keeping solid food around. Maybe not solved, but handled it.

I donā€™t eat a lot of chocolate nowadays, I did as a kid I think because it was my out, everyday I craved sweets as a young kid & done all sorts for money to achieve this from gardening to golf ball detector.

And then 1 day we came across this postman just round the corner from the post office who had free leaflets for these sweets called Banjoā€™s and he dumped the lot in the bushes, oh my, we better retrieve them as Iā€™m sure the company would like us to sample ithe product.

We managed to empty every shop on the main road from top to bottom & thatā€™s a lot of newsagents believe me.

Lasted us for days :grin:

They had soft caramel & peanut, always a winning combination.

When these arrived I was hooked, thereā€™s not much I wouldnā€™t do as a kid for a Texanā€¦

I found them, yeah, but if theyā€™re the guys Iā€™m thinking of theyā€™ve long abandoned the apparently-casual ethic. The one I saw was just a wordless montage of guys doing everyday tasks and casually throwing a scrunched-up piece of paper into a bin without looking and similar things. No talking or even acknowledgement of the camera.

Althoughā€¦ I feel like this idea is, like most things, stolen from a smaller content creator, and that might be the video youā€™re thinking of. I think itā€™s the one Iā€™m thinking of.

ā€¦thinking of, asshole.

no problem not touching any open alcohol in the house. chocolate is a problem though.

i sort of manage it by forcing myself to eat more protein and fruit. jerky is expensive and gotta watch the sugar calories, but iā€™ll buy/make hard boiled eggs, and eat that before sweets. or even a high protein cheese slices.

apples are good cause thereā€™s a lot of chewing, so it slows down my intake. mandarin oranges donā€™t slow me down but i hope thereā€™s enough fiber in there to keep me from reaching for chocolates. if all else fails, making hot chocolate yourself (not premixed packets) lets me control amounts of sweetener.

I didnā€™t really have this issue pre Covid but being home all the time has made it a bit of a thing. I donā€™t buy snacks anymore.

if only it were possible to purchase (checks notes) mobile devices out of state and take them over state lines.

Whatā€™s the over/under on how long it takes people to figure out a way to bypass a porn ban.
