I'm addicted to gummies

I have to confess, I am addicted to gummies. I like gummy bears, gummy worms, and especially Realfruit gummies made by Dare Foods. Everyday I crave them and usually I'll buy 4 bags at a time and hope I eat them in moderation, but I usually eat them all in one day, sometimes I can stretch it to two. Anyone have same addiction?

I am also addicted to these types of candy!  I found that whenever I am in the Orlando area (a short drive from my home), I have to take a side trip over to the Downtown Disney candy shop just to get all the bags I can of their brand of gummies and sour / sugar gummies. I find them the best I have ever had. When I was a kid I was so into DOTS, this was before gummy bears, gummy worms came out. Oh and I also love Mike and Ike fruit-flavored candies.

The best ones are the gummy cola bottles. They look like little half-filled bottles of cola, the bottom half is brown and the top half is clear, and they taste like cola! I get them at Walgreens.

Hmmm, congealed sugar...

Now that is a physically addictive substance I think should be outlawed.

You should get a Costco membership Janskeet.  You can buy those things practically by the case from there.  Mmm, Gummy Bears.

Are you taking about Realfruit gummies made by Dare Foods? Get em by case, that would be a dream come true!

Um, no.  I was talking about the gummy bears sold at Costco by the case.  Then again, everything at Costco is sold in bulk.  I use to eat a pack a day, but we don't have them anymore, so I haven't eaten any in a while.  They're yummy though :)

Oh my goodness.  I googled my addiction on a lark!  I am somewhat relieved/saddened to find there are others with my addiction!  Maybe we should start our own twelve step program!!  I am seriously addicted to the Haribo gummy bears.  It is getting out of hand.  I can eat several bags a day and have gained a ton of weight.

Anyone have any help?

Uh, stop buying them?  Seems to keep me from eating them pretty good.

I'm going on a low carb diet, hoping that will get rid of my gummy cravings. So far today all I have eaten is slim jims, beef jerky, a few slices a mozzeralla and a few honey roasted cashews (apparently they're low carb). So far I still crave them.
