Spuds Anon.

Hi am Gish and am a chipaholic. Its been 2 hours since my last plate of chips, i just cant seem to walk away especially those long crispy golden brown chips with some ketchup,vinegar, some salt and a hint of pepper(esp fried pepper).Just the thought of it has my glands salivating.

The downside of all this is best said as "sweet on the lips forever on the hips". Seeing that its a bit too easy to make, they are a common feature on my menu. I love them even more when they are spiced up, you know masala chips with coleslaw.

I knew it was time to quit or reduce when nothing in my wardrobe fits.The other day i was traveling on a bumpy road and most of me was literally jiggling then i knew it was time to quit. So here goes ...

ps: The insomnia is gone.

Hi, I'm Archer and I am a chips-a-holic! (And I mean chips in the fries variety, si hio chips ingine) I have fries every single day even though I know it's very unhealthy. I love chips masala, or just golden fried with sweet and sour sauce and coleslaw!

I eat what i like, life is too short not to enjoy the foods you like. just eat less at a time, less frequently and get some exercise in.

Sometimes I have cravings for fries (quickly and shyly sits down). Isn't that what we are doing, some chipaholic anonymous confession? LOL

Archer:knowing that they are unhealthy doesnt help its the taste that keeps bringing me back.
Kafai: somehow i thint he carrot sticks are a better option just that it doesnt taste the same.

Savvy: its okay we all have cravings for fries, moderation is the key here.

Was actually thinking of frying some up today, but it proved too much work, so i stopped to buy some, but too nasty looking, so settled for Nachos...good luck weaning self off Chips (not bloody Fries!)
