Confessions of a Glutton!

One month exactly from now I'll be on a plane back to the States, so now I feel that it's only proper that I confess >.<

1. I'm a choco-holic: note the piles of boxes and wrappers. It had no cure, every supermarket visit started with a creed: I will NOT go to the chocolate aisle and will NOT linger there and eye all the treats, gingerly pick up each one, turn them over, examine them, analyze benefit vs. cost, and end up with an armful of chocolate that say fett 4,5% (4.5% fat). Then as I walk towards the juice, something catches my eye: is that the glint of the wrapper of that chocolate I had last weekend? Oh, but look at the one next to it: I've never tried that one, oh and that one, and the other one .... then the chocolate avalanche hits my cart and I'm done for. The only things that's slowed down this hobby of mine is the hot weather (correlates with appetite decrease, thank goodness) and the scale that mysteriously appeared in the guesthouse bathroom one night. (It steadily told me that gluttony = gaining 4 kilos in 2 weeks and that sluggish feeling I was getting, it was related to this lack of exercise plus engorging myself with treats). For now it's under control, I only have two pieces of chocolate a day (but the chocolate here is too good. I will miss it dearly.)

2. I'm a doner kebab-holic: these things are good. Every time I'm too lazy to cook, I want one. It also does not help that they are only 2,50 Euros(that's two euro fifty for those of you unfamiliar with how the punctuation works here).

3. Potato-holic: been getting my share of starch lately. Those of you who know me know that I <3 potatoes but seriously, German mensa, please stop feeding me five potatoes per meal and send me running for the salad bar!

4. Erdbeer: German strawberries are also very good and a much healthier hobby, although they go bad very quickly as well.

5. Raspberries: This is the only time I will admit to betraying my favorite fruit strawberry because I think the raspberries here edge them out! It's sooooo good. I also admit to buying them and not waiting to wash them and just eating them all on the way home instead of waiting... :/
