Swedish Fish...

Why do I crave them so much?  

Why do they CALL to me?  

Why can't I eat just one? Two? or Seven?

Why are they so bad?  

Why are they called Swedish when they are made in Canada?

Is there a support group for people like me?

Why does my belly hurt?....nevermind....I know this one.

I have some of those at home, but I know myself well enough not to buy a bag bag. They're halloween candy sized packs. 50 cals a little package (theres about 8 fish in the bag), and are teamed up with sour patch kids. I have NO willpower :)

Hang in there. The stomach ache will subside. Did you flush the little fishies?

I am glad to know I am not alone.  I could eat a whole box of those 50 cal packs in a sitting.  I will gladly join Swedish Fish Eaters Anonymous.

"Hi, my name is Kathy.  I am addicted to Swedish Fish.  It has been 48 hours since my last Swedish Fish" (sits down to friendly applause)

*applauds*

I think it's best if we keep the fish out of the house.

This Halloween is going to be rough :)

Have you ever tried Jujufish? They're just like the Swedish variety, but with more flavors!  Those kill me.

so funny.  i love swedish fish too.  my friend loves them too, but moved abroad and was having a hard time finding them in stores.  when i went to visit her, i brought her a huge five pound box that i had bought at sam's club.  and then i ate half of it myself in less than a week.  which is why i'm not allowed to have swedish fish anymore.  :(

Halloween and candy corn are the devil.

And those little bite size reese's too!

they also make them in 100 cal packs for after Halloween... i've seen them at target..

what are swedish fish?  if they're made in canada, why have i never heard of them?

Let's put it this way, most of us previous posters wouldn't need to be on a calorie counting website if it weren't for these.

what do you mean? those don't cause you to gain weight...they're fat free

Well, fish are supposed to be very good for you. Ok, the Swedish Fish diet. Let's plan this out:

B- a bowl of Swedish fish in skim millk

S- 100 calorie pack of Swedish fish

L-Swedish fish over a nice, garden salad

S- 50 calorie pack of Swedish fish

D- steamed Swedish fish and a side of veggies

YUM! Who's with me?

I have no willpower with those things!  I do not buy them, because I mostly know better.  I can eat half or the entire bag all at once, chocolate is much safer!

Heh. Here are some sugar free virtually calorie free gelatine based candy recipes:

Thats funny, they are my weakness too!  If their are any in the house I'm compelled to eat the whole box.  I want to find the 50 calorie packs of them, but have not found them...  What store would I find them at?!?
