my tongue is on fire

Okay, so I've been eating like a super-star...No, not purging; I've been doing an excellent job of eating the way I want to eat...low cal, high fiber, as high as protein as a non meat & dairy girl can possibly eat (sans the protein powder that tastes like Evil himself)...but, today I found myself in search of some answers...While watching a cheesy old Jennifer Anniston movie, it occurred to me that I would give at least one of my pinky toes simply in exchange for a small serving of salt and vinegar chips...Now, I've been having minimal to no cheats on average. I thought to myself, "Self, should we get ourselves some salt and vinegar chips?" I held back. Finally, after wanting my beloved S&V chips for like a half an hour, I remembered what I've read several times, which is something like this: "Don't ignore your cravings...If you want chocolate, then have a little piece...Otherwise, when you try to fill up on celery and apples and non-fat bran muffins to satisfy your craving, you will probably still then break down and have the chocolate. Better to just have the chocolate in the first place." So, I thought I'd just have a few salt and vinegar chips...and, my dumb ass ate 3/4 of the entire bag!! I wonder what the experiences with others are on this whole "give in just a little" theory...

Further, those of you who have ever eaten 75 percent of a bag of salt and vinegar chips in one setting are aware of the certain impending side effects of tongue swelling, tongue pain, and a slight speech impediment for at least 24 hours.<
