The Rules of Chocolate
If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands -
you're eating it too slowly.
Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit -
so eat as many as you want.
The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car.
The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
Diet tip:
Eat a chocolate bar before each meal.
It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.
A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place.
Isn't that handy?
If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer.
But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge.
Calories are afraid of heights and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.
If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate that is a balanced diet.
They actually counteract each other.
Money talks.
Chocolate sings.
Chocolate has many preservatives.
Preservatives make you look younger.
Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A. Because no one wants to quit.
If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose.
An entire garment industry would be devastated.
I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter!!!
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today.
That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Yanno, I usually can take it or leave it.....but once every few months or so, I'll get a yen for chocolate so bad that I have to warn my household to "GIVE me the chocolate and no one gets hurt!!" :chuckle Thank goodness they have so many sugar-free Splenda treats these days that taste just like the real thing......remember the old days, when "diet" chocolate had all the satisfaction of sawdust? :chuckle
