OKAY, OKAY, I give… My name is M and I am a CHOCOHOLIC. I will openly admit that I am addicted to chocolate, in the true sense of the work “addict”. Smooth, creamy, milk chocolate to dark bitter-sweet Albany to chocolate on bread, in milk, with a little chili over fillet…Ohhhhhhhh.
Yesterday was the first day since… I don’t know when… I made it through the day without any chocolate, and this is no small feat. Normally, if I manage to keep myself away from the spaza shop downstairs in the building for an afternoon chocolate run (which on average includes 2 or 3 choc’s), I find myself in the throws of cravings in the evening at home, and heaven forbid there actually isn’t any in the house (which is unlikely as I would have eaten it already) then I start to raid the cupboards. Milo, Nesquick, chocolate spread… anything that will give me that satisfaction. This might also be a key factor to the constant weight gain.
Why is it that the things that are the worst for you, taste the best?
BUT Last night I managed, with much willpower, to beat those cravings into submission and stayed away. This is truly a momentous occasion for me, a turning point, the first step on the road to recovery :) I just had a revelation… all I did was swap my addiction to cigarettes… with chocolate. I guess there are worse things to be addicted to.

You know what they say, best things in life are either immoral, illegal or fattening! (sigh!)
I just went on a diet and i dream chocolate....:-)
I also vacillate between chocolates and cigarettes. And caffeine and, and, and, and. Addictive personalities are so much fun!
Everyone goes crazy for Lindt
here in Switz. But it's deadly
fattening. I still miss the good
ol' Cadbury's from SA, can,t walk past it when we're in Germany.
Have you ever tried those chewy
jelly beans, it works wonders
when you crave a choccie,AND ideal
when on a diet. Best o luck. I
sign my name - sweet tooth! LOL!
My ass could never handle an addiction to chocolate so I smoke a lot and mainline coffee (sexy, huh?). - Not to mention that anything I eat ends up on my shirt...
By the way - those pics of your little girl are GORGEOUS!
i switched nicotine for caffeine a coupla years ago... and i like it strong! heaven help ANYONE who comes between me and my coffee cup!
as for tasting better when its bad for you... i think its a sales gimmick! the more expensive brands taste better and cost more because... there's more fat and surgar in them! at least- thats what my dietician says...
perspective inc. immoral, illegal or fattening... story of my life
Katt did I forget to mention my fondness of caffeine... but giving up two addictions at the same time is pushing it
ginco that did absolutely no help... oh for some Lindt
robert I am beating the choccie monster... I AM beating the choccie monster
annie Welcome to my end of the web. Thanks...
angel as above... caffeine is a prominent feature already. And that sales gimmick definitely works...
robert2 I don't know anyone who can eat lobster without making a mess... There is an unspoken rule that lobsters, ribs, sosaties and pizza are meant to be eaten messily
