Too many but not enough

Why is it that I have 27 (yes, 27) lipbalm/glosses in my purse and not one piece of gum?

I'm so hungry I can't think straight, apparently my couscous salad (with rosemary pork, peppers, onions, tomatoes and feta cheese) plus a couple cauliflours to munch on plus an apple doesn't do the trick. So rather than going downstairs and indulging in one of those homemade king sized cookies that are heavenly, I thought I would chew some gum. Then I ended up realizing what a cosmetic addict I am. An addict with no gum!

It should be noted that I have not bought a lipgloss or balm in 3 months. Baby steps!
