How can I stop my gummy bear addiction?

Question

For about 2 1/2 weeks I've been eating gummy bears. And I can't stop. They are so sweet and delicious, but I know they can be bad for me if I eat too much. I've already gotten 2 stomach aches from eating too much. I look at the pacakages and I see their serving suggestion--which is about 16 bears..by the time I've read that, the bag will already be empty.
I have no idea how this started. I never used to like gummy bears,I just got hooked.
I've got a big box of gummies in my desk right now. What the heck should I do?
I don't want any more cavaties, stomach aches or any other problems. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts. Help!

Answer 1

It sounds like you've got a sugar jones that's getting worse. My favorite approach is the tapering off method. Determine how many gummies you eat in a day, then eat that number. On day two, eat 10% fewer (100 becomes 90). On day three, eat 10% fewer (90 becomes 81). On day four, eat 10% fewer (81 becomes 73). Next day, eat 66, etc. But don't start with 100!! And round fractions up or down, as you like. Your body has begun to demand sugar; show it who's in charge.

Try gummy berry juice instead - you'll be bouncing here 'n' there 'n' everywhere!

you'd know what i mean if you used to watch the gummy bears cartoon back in the 80's.

Answer 5

Try getting rid of the gummy bears. Get them all out of your house. Try and find a new addiction that is healthier, like fruits and vegetables. If their not in your sight your not tempted to eat them. Experiment many kinds of healthy foods and snacks instead of eating gummy bears or candy.


Best of Luck!!!

I'm addicted to Skittles. Slow down on the gummy bears.

Answer 7

why are you snacking on them? boredom? hunger? are you sure you are addicted to them? sometimes i think i am addicted to a food and really, i can replace that food with something more nutritious and filling and i don't get too upset. i've been in your place, once i ate a whole bag of haribo cola flavored gummi bears! luckily i felt so sick afterward, i never touched them again. if you are snacking because of hunger, replace the gummis with a piece of fruit or some yogurt. make sure you are eating 3 solid meals! if you MUST have the gummis, portion them off into ziplock bags, 16 to a bag, and only have one bag a day, maybe in a few weeks you will get sick of them and can have less. and make sure to brush often if you continue your gummi madness! :P

You need to stop it NOW before it gets any worse. I remember I was freebasing gummies with hookers on a daily basis before I got help. Do you know the feeling of butt chugging melted down sour patch kids? Incredible. But those days are long gone.... Sigh...

I think gummy bears are actually addictive, that happened to my mother too. Eventually she just had to go cold turkey and stop buying them. Every time you are about to buy them think about what you are doing. Treat it as if you actually have a problem.

Answer 10

There is sugar free gummies...but if you eat to many at one time they make you have diareha( i never how to spell that word) but yeah they are good. Jelly Belly makes em.
