Closet Snacker no more!

April 27, 2008

I just coined a new word! (at least I don’t think it’s in the dictionary)

Closet Snacker

I define this as:

a noun: a person who sneaks snacks unbeknownst to others.

Sadly, I myself have developed this habit. I love chocolate! Sometimes I eat plain chocolate chips just because I’m craving that wonderful heavenly taste. Most often I eat these morsels of chocolate delights when no one’s looking. Usually the morsel-sized portions turn into a handfuls. Recently, I read a post on a very similar situation. I’m not alone.

It’s easier to grab for that second cookie without a second thought when no one is looking. For some reason I think that “if no one sees me eating that treat, then it doesn’t count.” Boy! My reasoning is a little off… A calorie is a calorie (no matter if it’s consumed in the presence of others or by oneself).

Well,

I’m off to break my habit of being a Closet Snacker
