When all else fails, I turn to chocolate...

"Too much of a good thing is wonderful"-Mae West

This may have been my first encounter...

"Hi, my name is Renata, and, I'm an addict". They say the first step in the road to recovery is "admitting" you have a problem. Well, maybe, I think, I may have a teeny-tiny problem. It isn't serious, I assure you. I just HAVE to eat sweets after EVERY meal. But, don't judge me, I balance those meals with veggies as well. Sometimes. Ah, what can I say, they call to me. I make many attempts to stay away, but, I can't. I walk down the aisles at Publix and all I can hear is, "Eat me! Eat me!". So, I pair my carrots with a little chocolate, no biggie. Plus, have you had an "aero" bar before? No? Say what? Stop, just stop, right now,this instant, and go get one. You WILL comprehend my obsession. Just ask the husband, he just HAD to eat my very last piece. It's as though you are taking a bite into a fluffy cloud of choclatey (I know this isn't a word) goodness. If heaven had a taste, well, this would be it. Don't like chocolate you say? WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? No, really, what IS the matter with you. Chocolate makes everything worthwhile. It's like a woman's "little black dress", it goes with ALL occasions. Chocolate and fruits, amazing. Chocolate and coffee, perfection. Chocolate and red wine, divine. Chocolate and croissants, mouth-watering. You get the picture, right? Ok, I know, it's not good for me, blah, blah, blah. But, I believe in the rule of moderation, usually. Hey now! It's all about baby steps (little baby ant steps). I don't even want to imagine the day a little human will be hibernating in my belly (can you overdose on sugar?). Eek! Let's not dread on that now. And, I've heard miracles happen. It is entirely possible that one day I may just choose a celery stick over a truffle (a chocolate one that is). Just know that when that days comes, you should look outside your window, a pig will have flown by.
