“Hi, my name is Amy.”

In unison, “Hi, Amy.”

“And I am addicted to ice cream.”

Now, I know this may come as a shock to some people and to others they might be thinking, it’s about damn time she admits the truth. I have come to the realization that after eating a full course meal, it being 32 degrees outside and I STILL want to go get icecream...I might have a problem.

Now I know I am not the only ice cream addict out there. Shoutout to all my other DQ, McFlurry, midnight pint eating crazies out there, you are all living your life like it’s your last day and I am proud to be apart of such a risk taking, never knowing when our last day is going to come, group.

I know that loving ice cream as much as I do and truly craving it every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, can be a problem but I also look at it as an adventure...like, what is the new flavor of the month going to be? When are there going to be some good deals at Pac n Save? Ya never know when you’re going to get ice cream, it’s an impulse decision that not only makes my heart and stomach happy but it makes me realize that if today was my last day, if I were to die after I finish this mint-oreo blizzard, I will be okay.

Being addicted to ice cream isn’t the worse thing to happen to a person. I mean i am just addicted to a concoction of milk, sugar, and some type of unhealthy candy or topping. I could be addicted to alcohol, some hardcore drug, or caffeine but then again when you wake up at 2:04 a.m. panting and sweating because I just had a dream that ice cream will be made illegal and you are no longer allowed to eat it...I may or may not be a true life ice cream addict that needs some help.

I know that someday, when my metabolism slows down, and I actually have to watch what I eat I will cry, for a few days or so, knowing that ice cream will no longer be allowed to be in my everyday meal plan. But until then folks LET US EAT. To my fellow ice cream addicts when you are sitting there unable to eat anymore and then it hits you...I want ice cream, GO GET IT. LIFE IS SHORT...pull an all nighter, binge watch The Office and EAT THE ICE CREAM.

"You can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that's kind of the same thing."
