The Snack-le-y-doo Dilemma

by Katiemae1977


The story of Sally is sad but it's true. A sweet girl done in by the snack-le-y- doo. Take this as fair warning don't overdo snacks. We don't want our readers to have heart attacks.

Poor Sal got addicted to snack-le-y- doos. She said that she did it to fight off the blues.
She snacked on puff pastry and cream-filled eclairs. She hid all her snack-le-ies under the stairs.

She loved M&Ms which she ate by the pound. Her mom's stash of chocolates could never be found. She loved chips and soda consuming them well. And why, no one knows only Sally could tell.

Candy bars, suckers and jelly beans too. When Sally was snacking she wasn't so blue. A trip to the store was her favorite treat. But now she could tell she was slow on her feet.

She gained 40 pounds in a mere month or two. Which worsened her fight against feeling so blue. Her clothes didn't fit and her hair was a mess. She couldn't fit into her favorite dress.

The kids started teasing which made matters worse. The habit of snacking, it sure was a curse. She needed some magic; a miracle cure. A way to stop snacking of that she was sure.

One morning she woke up and noticed her face. It had colored speckles all over the place. She let out a yell that the whole house could hear She covered her face and she cowered in fear.

The spots looked like candy which freaked Sally out. "What's going on!" poor old Sally did shout. She heard a voice say "It's your snack-le-y-doos. Your candy consumption now comes out of you."

"I can't go to school" she exclaimed to herself. "I'll get these spots off me, I'll do it myself." She rubbed and she scrubbed and the spots disappeared. Should it happen again was the thing she most feared.

"You better stop snacking, you'll look like a freak. Give them up now you'll be cured in a week." Now Sal was so ready for someone's advise. She quit all her snacking, she didn't think twice.

So with bits of magic and friendly advise. Sally was free of this terrible vice. Don't overdo snacking, get help if you're blue. This story of Sally is strange but it's true.
