You’re doing fine.
You’re minding your business. Hydrated. Focused.
Maybe even doing yoga or sorting your finances like a functional grown-up.
Then… it begins.
A whisper from the cupboard.
A rustle of foil.
A single, unwrapped biscuit blinking up at you like,
“Hey. You up?”
And boom — you’re in the kitchen mid-crumble, questioning all your life choices with digestive dust on your hoodie.
So… what the hell just happened?
Let me explain. You, my friend, have been biscuit brainwashed.
🧠 Part 1: The Biscuit Has Hijacked Your Brain
Biscuit = sugar + fat + crunch.
That combo? It’s like giving your brain a cheeky little high-five and a cuddle at the same time.
The moment it hits your taste buds, your brain lights up like:
“Oh my God, YES. This is what I’ve been missing. Enlightenment. Inner peace. A reason to live.”
But the problem?
The biscuit’s a liar.
It gives you joy, then leaves you with guilt and crumbs.
Kind of like your ex.
🧸 Part 2: It’s Not Just a Biscuit – It’s a Hug in Carbohydrate Form
Biscuits don’t judge.
They don’t gaslight.
They don’t demand you explain your feelings.
They just say:
“You’re overwhelmed? Sweetheart, have a bourbon.”
“Work was hell? Custard cream’s got your back.”
“Lonely? I’ll be your soft centre.”
This is emotional manipulation. But we fall for it. Every. Damn. Time.
🧃 Part 3: You Never Stood a Chance — They’re Always
There
If a biscuit is in the house, it knows it’s getting eaten.
You could have a full fridge, five avocados, a chia pudding prepped… and still, somehow, you’ll be crouched in front of the cupboard like a biscuit raccoon at 10pm.
It’s not even about hunger. It’s about proximity and betrayal by baked goods.
🌀 Part 4: The Real Problem Isn’t the Biscuit
Here’s the plot twist:
You’re not addicted to biscuits.
You’re addicted to relief.
You’re not craving calories — you’re craving a break.
A moment of not adulting.
Of comfort.
Of something that doesn’t ask anything from you.
The biscuit is just the cheeky delivery service for unmet needs.
So… What Do We Do?
✅
Stop demonising biscuits.
They’re not evil. They’re just highly persuasive little bastards.
✅
Eat them with joy, not guilt.
If you’re gonna have it, make it a ceremony. Sit down. Light a candle. Worship that chocolate hobnob like it’s dessert royalty.
✅
Ask what you’re really craving.
- Is it rest?
- Is it love?
- Is it revenge?
- (Still not joking.)
You might need a nap. Or a hug. Or a scream into a pillow. The biscuit won’t fix it. It’ll just mute it for 30 seconds, then ghost you.
Final Word: You’re Not Weak — You’re Human
You’ve been brainwashed by biscuits, but that doesn’t mean you’re broken.
Next time you find yourself mid-digestive, just whisper:
“I see what you’re doing, you sneaky snack-shaped therapist. But I’ve got your number now.”
Then either eat it with pride or walk away like the badass you are.
Either way? You win.
