I’ve got a serious Mars Bar problem.
I’m trying to cut down on Mars bars, amongst other things, and I’m doing really, really well. The only problem is, that I’m rewarding myself with Mars bars, because I love Mars bars.
I tried rewarding myself with Snickers as I love those too, but then I ended up eating Mars bars and Snickers. This led to the inevitable Bounty because when I have Celebrations I have to have a Snickers, Bounty, Mars trio, in that order. Saving the best until last of course.
I’ve often thought that I could eat only mars bars and just cut out all the boring stuff, fruit, vegetables.
There used to be that advert didn't there. "A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play"! I find that Mars during work, rest and play are best. Then there's no need for normal food.
Mars bars have several advantages over fresh food. One is that they don’t go off, at least not quickly. Mars bars come in their own perfectly sized packaging. Mars bars can fit in your pocket, though it’s not recommended to keep one there - and honestly, who would (or could) wait to eat one? Mars bars can be made very cold and then cut into slices, which I used to do when I was young. Perhaps sharing a Mars bar amongst friends? I can’t imagine I’d ever share a Mars bar with anyone but I suppose it’s possible I did before I realised I didn’t have to.
Now you can get a Mars duo, and people say there is no God.
I've now reminded myself all of the reasons Mars bars are best, so I'll stop trying to give them up, and then I'll probably not eat so many.
