Musings on Chocolate

I've begun to wonder why we sabotage ourselves with chocolate... correction... why I sabotage myself with chocolate! I'm not sure about you guys out there... but maybe you do too... Here we are a few days after New Year's Day... a day when many of us make resolute resolutions about the New Year... losing weight, cutting the chocolate, exercising more... communicating more with friends and family... all those good things... And yet, it is a scant week after Christmas that we dare to make those resolutions... Christmas, when many of us get chocolates and cookies and who knows what else...So... what to do with all that chocolate??? Eat it all before New Year's Day??? Total pig out on chocolate??? Or save it and then have it carry forward into our New Year... guaranteed to sabotage our resolutions?? I know... I should be able to have chocolate in the house and be able to pace myself with it... but I don't... or I can't... or I choose not to... And some of this stuff is very yummy... So maybe it's time to give it away?? Nope... can't do that!!! Some of it is already openned and we can't give that away, now can we?? Sigh... I think chocolate should be saved for St. Nicolaus... December 6... we can get all the chocolate we want then... and have a few weeks to get it out of our system, or through our system and can then enter the New Year with a new found resolve to ignore the chocolate monster!! Mind you... I am doing well with no Coca Cola... so there is hope for me yet!!
