Thursday - Chocolate
Hoopla asked the other day about chocolate so I figured since I can't live without it, let's talk about it.
Why am I always quoting Dr. Oz anymore? Anyway I think he recomends it, I've seen research that the dark chocolate is associated with weight loss. For me it's just a matter of necessity. I might go Cuckoo without it. Choc chips are my standby, try to eat them one at a time instead of by the handful. Nutella on whole grain wheat thins really comforts me. I figure anything with oats in it, even if a cookie has got to be good for you. I bought some carob coated peanuts the other day, hmm ya liked them too much. Seems I'll find just about anything to justify my craving. I do notice my chocolate craving tends to be from stress and the really bad cravings come after every meal when I need that chocolate aftertaste to feel complete.
Well....hmmmm. I think I'm a poster child for chocolate addiction that's probably not helping hoopla. Anyone have ideas on how she can have a little and I can learn to moderate my cravings?
And to ladyoz and chapf.... love the toons, thanks. Alison, for something to chew while juicing try sugar-free "5" gum. Recommended by dentists everywhere.
