How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways...

I know many of you are starting diet and exercise plans...AND I am planning on exercising more too...BUT I cannot seem to get my mind off my love...
Yes, my love of See's Candy!
I was doing fine until my Sister~In~Law Anne brought over See's candy as a gift for our Dad this Christmas... Sorry Dad, but I think I ate more then half the box! Now I can't stop thinking about those delicious chocolate candies and wanting more, more, more!!!!! Thankfully my husband always buys me a big box for Valentines day and Easter. I do hope I can wait~My car (stinkin' car) tends to want to turn into the parking lot of our local See's! (yeah, that's the ticket, blame the car!) But I will be good and I will wait (okay I will try real hard to wait!)

By the way, I used to work for See's and they make all their candies fresh with real butter and no preservatives~ You can order See's online too.


See's just came out with "Football Fan" snacks...Any excuse to eat See's works for me!
DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF FOOD THAT YOU CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT?
(By the way, while I was writing this post I was eating raw almonds and a salad. I do "try" to eat healthy it's just my mind tends to wander! )

  1. Robin,
    I've never heard of See's candy before but they look delicious. We have Alpine Chocolate Haus in Gaylord & I always get some for Valentine's day. I am so addicted to chocolate & have to have my daily fix. If I ever get to Seattle to visit Rach & Keith I will have to go to Sees..

    blessings,
    Pam

  3. Robin,

    Why, oh, why did you have to do this to me??? I have a problem, you know...a very BIG problem...I'm a chocoholic! I seriously need an intervention! I'm not kidding, either!

    I have never heard of See's candy, but, boy, does it ever look scrumptious! I could eat that entire box in no time flat!

    I just may have to go online and check them out...do I dare??? :)

  7. We love See's. My husband's Grandfather used to buy a box of nuts and chews for his bride and she would let the kids choose one. My hubby is so familiar with them that he knows their flavor by looking at them. We send nuts and chews to my hubbie's aunt every year for Christmas for a bit of nostalgia.

  9. LOL - oh yeah while I eat my healthy stuff - which is usually very yummy because we have so many awesome options these days, I also have other food on my mind. It depends on the day and time of day - chocolate, pasta, corn chips, a big thick porterhouse - those are a few that swirl around in my mind at some point or another. Of course right now, it's chocolate. I wonder why......(yeah that's the ticket - blame Robin!!! hehehehe)

    hugs, Linda

  23. Hi Robin
    Those See's chocs look gorgeous. I have not heard of them before but I am sure they would not last very long in this house!
    I am not overly crazy about any food in particular but I do like cheese and crisps (potato chips).
    I am trying to eat a bit healthier and I am ok with fruit but I just do not like many vegetables. It's usually carrots most days for me!

  25. mmmmm - See's Candy Love It! I am not generally fond of white chocolate - the two words don't even represent what that food items is! But, a friend gave me a gift containing a white chocolate Lindt bar - desperate for a sweet, I opened it.....heaven! The center is a rich, decadent creamy cloud! I have been craving them ever since. At $2.20 a pop it is an expensive habit and wouldn't you know about half the time the store is out of them or doesn't carry the plain white chocolate - the put something creepy with it like coconut - yuck!

    You had better focus on the Mountain Hike in August - sounds like fun but definitely something to work up to!

  26. Hi Robin~
    I have a good friend who loves See's candy, and though we have one near us, I have never been in there! :) BUT...now, I know this doesn't count as food, but I really, really, like my soda! I am trying to cut back from two to one a day, and it is almost impossible. I know soda is not good to drink, but does that stop me? Nope! :)

    I was curious about what you said about your popcorn ceilings~ did you remove the popcorn part from the ceilings or cover the ceiling with new drywall?

    Oh, and how is your baby granddaughter doing? :) I am keeping her in my prayers! Have a great day!

  27. Oh, my gosh. That's not fair. I love chocolate and your blog is covered with chocolate. I could just lick the screen.

    But, I started the Flat Belly diet this morning and as I read your blog I was just finishing up a tuna, lettuce and tomato sandwich on wheat bread.

    As I sit and drool all over my keyboard I will just lick the bits of tuna left on my plate.
