Someone in our family has a problem and it's a very serious one.
He needs help.
Ready to prepare some favors for an event that I'm responsible for, I went to retrieve my hidden stash of bargain chocolates (bought them at an incredible price--I'm on a strict budget here). But to my dismay I found that 3 of the 4 bags had secretly been demolished over the past 3 weeks.
The first step is admitting that you have a problem.
He has done this (after much ranting and raving on my part). I think I even heard the words, "You are right." (WooHoo--I love those words)
But now what? I have tried to curb this problem over the years, but it is obviously out of my control. I'm at a loss. What should I do?
P.S. To those who think I am being absolutely cruel to my husband for outing him in this manner, I say..."Whatever." My next post will be about some fault of my own...now if I could only decide which one to chose!

There will be a chocoholic support group at the Kunz' household Sunday evening. If you'd like to attend, bring enough to share...
Andrea, I here you. I too live with a chocoholic. Two in fact. I must confess I suffer from the same evil curse. I love chocolate! There, I said it. As you said admitting it is the first step. Maybe there is hope for me.
Well, I personally think it just runs in our DNA. We all know that we are chocoholics.We have also tried cutting it from are diet it just doesn't last for long. But, we do try. The only thing that works for me is to just not have it in my home. Anyways, love ya good luck with that.
Love, Becca
just let the poor eat his sugar in peace:) but do make him cough up so more money to get some more.
p.s. hiding sugar does not work. all of us kunz kids have highly developed sugar smelling senses. we will find it even if we are not looking:(
When Jimmy was well he could find ANYTHING, no matter how well it was hidden! It used to make me sooo mad. I finally had to ask myself, did it hurt anyone?, on a scale of one to ten how big a deal was it. If it isn't divorce time than it's small stuff and as the popular book series says "It's all small stuff". So I learned to pick my battles with him.
Of course when you are working on something and your main ingredient is missing, that is a pretty big deal....
Rob that is to funny. Also funny that my husband is the complete opposite. I have to force him and make him feel guilty for not eating things.
I love the Kunz's and our chocolate addictions- Laura and I are on week three of no sugar! Sounds like Rob needs rehab too!
I think I have that problem too. I can't seem to go a day without eating some kind of chocolate. Is that bad? :)
Oh you all are too funny! But I must say there is a difference between LOVING chocolate SOOOOO much that you can't pass it up and have to have some every day AND intentionally taking something that you knew belonged to someone else and that you knew what it was for--one piece, fine...3 bags, you have a problem.
P.S. It was not hiding...it was up, so the kids wouldn't be tempted by it--so much for that!
Hi Andrea, I know the kunz kids and their father have a strong desire for chocolate. I learned over the years to hide it from all of them. Occassionally they would find my stash of chocolate but not very often. I have a large staff of chocolate even now that they don't touch. I can usually leave the stuff alone as it is not tempting to me as it is to them. I won't tell you the best way to hide candy here as they would have access to the information, so give me a call and I will tell you what to do. Love Mom Kunz
