HELP! I just bought GUMMY BEARS!!!!

[tlgoblue]

It was a weak moment. I was standing at the checkout at Dick's (and was very hungry) and there they were so I bought them! Now what? I was thinking they would be a treat for the football game for DD and I. Neither of us need them! I haven't even opened the package. They're still in the car. What do I do with them?

Keep the Faith!

Oh you know....if they aren't opened up yet maybe you can return them?

It's just sugar, pure sugar! If you eat them you'll feel like this and talk like this and then once the sugar has been processed by your body you'll feel like and want some more, or want a margarita, or want something salty to counter the sweet taste.

Better to take the time to drive them back to the store where some unsuspecting person can buy them instead!

It would depend how you would feel if you did eat them. Would having a few gummy bears make you feel better? If they are likely to make you like this I would just leave them in the car.
Sending PD to help you make the right decision for you.
I know what I would do if was me and they wouldn't still be in the car

so did you throw them out yet?
bring them back to the store?
GET RID OF THEM

Its too close to Halloween and those temptations will be difficult enough
Did I say - get rid of them?

OK! Update on the Gummy Bears!
I did NOT take them back. They came with me and DD to the football game. I had to drive an hour, and sit in the driving rain and 35 mph wind and 44 degree temp with a cold to watch my son's team get shut out 42-0! I got to watch my son let a man with the ball practically walk right past him into the endzone! (he was in good company! At least a half-dozen other players did the same!) I got to sit on the sideline, hoping he was warm enough, as he did not have on anything but his uniform and a t-shirt! GUMMY BEARS! Who had time to eat gummy bears. They are still unopened in a bag with some nice warm clothes for DS to wear at his next game. Kids! You gotta love em! What did I eat at the game? Homemade popcorn, of course!

Thanks for all the great advice!

Keep the Faith!

Good for you!!! You did great on not giving in to those Gummy's . Save your sweet tooth for some a piece of really good Halloween candy if you are wanting something sweet. You are a great Mom to have endured all of that. But, then again, isn't that what being a Mom is all about, supporting our children? I know you wouldn't have had it any other way.
