Needed...just a little self control

The problem is -I love these stupid things. These sugar filled, artificially flavored, bad after taste producing things. NIBS....ugh, I'm feeling the gut effects/affects (another tricky word I can admit I don't exactly know the secret to which spelling goes with which usage) of yet another...hit. You see, I'm feeling like an addict. I am going nuts here. This is bag 3 in the last ...almost....maybe...2 weeks??? I've stopped counting. All I know is that I go to Target, head to the end zone and find the prize, oh and it's there every time. I really need to stop. It's totally counter balancing my workout in the morning. I'm cancelling myself out, and I get mild heartburn to boot...WHY??? I know why, because they're so good. When about 6 nibs are stuck together and I throw caution to the wind and eat them all in one bite instead of breaking them up.....mmmmm, love it. I'm nervous that I'm walking a fine line though on my addiction. I know one day soon, I'll OD and the love will be gone. That's totally what happened in the 6th grade with Sun chips. Remember when they took a chance on creating a semi-healthy potato chip and got Sun chips. Well, my brother and I couldn't get enough of those bad boys. Couldn't get enough that we siblings began genuine battles over the bags my mom would buy. To end the bloodshed, my mom bought us each our own individual bag. I remember eating chip after miserable chip until....I couldn't stomach looking at them. To this day, if I even see/smell Sun chips a little bit of throw -up makes its way up the throat canal.
Fast forward to my NIBS! I'm on bag 3....Hello, and there's no sign of stopping. Every night after dinner I have to just have a "few." The next thing I know.....the mother load of NIBS chunks falls out onto the counter and I'm screwed. So please, how do I get a grip on this addiction. If it means by-passing Target, no deal.
