From back in the pantry, behind the tomatoes, Somewhere between the dried beans and alfredo It's tempting me, begging me for some attention- And soon I'm afraid I might need intervention! We first got acquainted in aisle 5-B I couldn't resist how it called out to me Touting variety and quantity What a deal! What a steal! So it came home with me. I'd take it to church for the ward trunk-or-treat Then save it for neighborhood children to eat I started by saying I'd sample just one, But when I broke the seal, it was over and done.
O, Hallowe'en Candy, my family's bane. . . Next year we'll do it all over again.

Snickers, Butterfinger, Milky Way... Wanna come over and make my day? m&m's, Reese's, Almond Joy, Mounds... You're really helping me put on the pounds. Tootsie rolls, Kisses, Three Musketeers... When I'm with you I forget all my fears. Smarties, Redvines, Kitkats, too... I can't decide if I love or hate you.

Yesterday, because of stress, I ate five ding-dongs And a Hostess Cupcake Today I brought to work A Book of Mormon. Every time I had a craving, I read a passage. I didn't eat any Ding Dongs... But I did have a cupcake.
Evil Cupcake.

(mine was actually a true story, btw. My wife and I were talking about how scriptures help us fight addictions (dunno why), and she suggested, "well tubby, if you think they work, take them along with work and see if it helps you avoid snacking so much at work..." (at work they have free snacks...))

for the last few weeks my"walking" has been really difficult to accomplish every day because of my pain levels... so I added the Book of Mormon mp3 files that I have stored on my PDA... I plug in my headphones and walk to some of my favorite passages... it's actually made all the difference for me. I am still walking which I consider a personal miracle...
Please give me patience to wait my turn Hiding the habits that in me burn Let me be wanted beyond reason Sort of like that actor, Liam Neeson My desire for consumption is strong today If ray just sees me, I'll make his day He thinks if he reads, he's stronger than I That's fine and dandy 'till I catch his eye All of a sudden it just matters not He's all done with dating, why should he look hot? He works so hard and deserves a lift Chocolate with cream is my usual gift One little me - that's really not bad That first lish bite - he'll be so glad Swallowing finally, he'll shrug and say Guess I'll be strong another day.

I walked and I walked and I walked some more, But where my walkin' took me was an actual bore. 'Til I invited the scriptures on my walk... oh boy, Now I walk with Nephi 'n Moroni, what joy!!!
This life is my test, they tell me each week, In the meetings, AND writings... those scriptures I seek. Ugh, I cannot at times understand why my trek, Is so physically painful and studded with blekkk.
Still I kept walkin' and walkin' and walkin' some more, 'when my daughter says, "mom y'ur like our family of yore". They too knew not where their waking would take 'em, But they got to their Zion ev'n though some were shak'en.
Y'ur example's been important to me through my life, Please don't give up now, though I know it's plain strife. Here... let me walk with you and give you some push'in. Guess I'll never really know who'll be watch'in my wish'in...
