Cereal is my drug / addiction


Quote  |  Reply

I just can't help myself from it!!

So I stopped buying sugary cereals cause I eat the entire box in one sitting every time.

But I can't help it if my roomates buy it and keep it in the kitchen -- everytime I walk in, I eat some, and sometimes 1/2 the box.... just one handful turns into wayy too much.

I really don't want to be like, hey can you guys keep your cereal in your room cause im a cereal psycho/addict?

Urgh, it ruins my day everytime! Why do I have no control... my hand just reaches for it everytime!

Original Post by broom_closet:

I'm horrible! I ate 4 boxes of cereal in the past half a week....

I know, its not a balanced diet at all!!

Would it really be that bad to just eat cereal all the time just cause I want to.... :P

I wonder if I'd ever get sick of it!! But I guess nobody gets sick of their drugs/addictions eh....

 I don't know if they still run these commercials, but the ones for Special K from Kellogg's use to show commercials of people eating cereal even in the evenings watching a movie. If it's the kids sugary sweet cereals, I would definitely not eat them all the time. As for the Bran cereals, like Bran Flakes, Special K, Raisin Bran, etc. If I did that, I would probably only do it for no more than 2 meal replacements, leaving dinner as a regular meal. With whole milk at 150 cal. a cup, that could be around 300 calories a one cup serving. But how many of us eat only one cup of cereal and milk?? I know my cereal portions are usually close to 2 cups of bran flakes and 1 1/2 cups of milk, so that would take the calories up over 400 cal.
