1. You have to ask a coworker to hide your Peanut M&M’s somewhere in her desk because you’re dangerously close to finishing the family-size bag in one sitting.

2. You anxiously await noon because then it’s a reasonable hour to begin candy consumption. 

3. You have multiple bags of Skittles, candy bars, and hot chocolate packets laced throughout your kitchen, nightstand, and pockets for easy access anytime of day. 

4. You’ve skipped a meal before because you accidentally ODed on too many Whoppers. 

5. When a waiter asks if you and your gang would like a dessert menu, you nervously stay quiet, hoping you’re not the only one screaming, “Hell yes!” inside. 

6. Like a drug addict, you get a sinking feeling of despair and anxiety when you realize your “stash” is gone.
