addict
friday, i made my weekly pilgrimage to GNC where i regularly spend at least an hour reading the labels on the shiny plastic bottles in hopes of discovering the combination of ingredients that will make my life perfect. on this particular day, after reading about the "perricone prescription", i decided that i needed more salmon oil in my life in order to have gorgeous skin. i also felt that i needed some sort of diet pill because i now wear a size eight vice six or four. after reading the labels of over 15 bottles, i settled on chromium picolinate. i really wanted to get a lot of other things, like liquid aloe vera, green powder that cost over $45, and some low carb shakes. i held back though.
when i finally meandered over to the checkout counter that cashier was very friendly. it wasn't until he said "sign here again", in reference to my debit receipt that i realized i have a problem. this cashier knew who i was because i frequented that place more than a normal person should. i am a vitamin addict.
is it so wrong? i could be a soda addict, cocaine addict, credit card addict. is there a potential for an overdose on vitamins- and let me clarify that i don't take a lot of the same vitamins, just lots of different ones. right now, for instance, i am taking a multivitamin, a hair skin and nails vitamin, a "labido boosting" vitamin, salmon oil, chromium, and he occasional acidophilis. too many? i don't think so, especially considering that these pills are all very beneficial to my wellbeing. i really don't think i would be as pretty, energetic, smart, etc, without them.
so yes. my name is trish, and i am an addict.
