Keep your friends close... and your enemies closer...

Everyone has a weakness...especially when it comes to food. Some people can't resist cookies, chocolate, McDonalds, Ice Cream, Etc... We all have that one item we just can't say no too. Mine is chips... Specifically Doritos, ever since I've been a little boy its been my go to snack. From as young as 12 (I think? I was young) I would finish off an entire big bag of Doritos to myself and not even break a sweat. Over the years as I've gotten older this habit has developed from One night a week, to a few times a week, to everyday of the week. I've even eaten two bags in one sitting. It got out of control to say the least. It's my one weakness and it's derailed me from many diet attempts in the past.

Not this time...I'm quitting them....FOREVER! Alcoholics have...well Alcohol, I have Doritos...I'm a Doritoholic. Just like anyone trying to get over an addiction I have to quit and never look back. As ridiculous as it sounds it will be one of the most difficult things of my life.

How am I going to do that you ask? Well as the brilliant Chinese military strategist, Sun-Tzu, Once said "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". So I've invited the enemy into my home.

This is my bag of Doritos and his name is Tito

Don't feel sorry for Tito, I heard he beats his ex wife and doesn't pay alimony

I am keeping a bag around the house as a constant reminder of the damage it has done to my body for all these years. I've had a lot of people telling me this is a bad idea, my logic behind it is if I always have it around and I can get over my affliction with it around, I will have won the battle both physically and mentally. It's risky, I agree but only by facing my demons head on will I truly be able to overcome this addiction.

Plus it just feels awesome to give Tito the finger and go eat some celery sticks in front of him.
