A Chocoholic’s Diary
Sometimes the wonder of chocolate is overwhelming to me. I dream, think and sleep with chocolate thoughts swirling in my mind. For example right now I am wondering what it would be like to have a magical bar of chocolate that made you lose weight instantly. God forbid. I would die of a chocolate coma induced by overindulgence. With this in mind I guess we are better of not having such magical chocolate bars but I can dream of day where I can consume endless chocolate delights with no guilt or fear of my dimensions.
Do not get the wrong idea. While guilt may plague my passion for chocolate research it is basically powerless under the spell of this dark pleasure. No amount of guilt will get in the way of the next chocolate bar to cross my path. Chocolate manufacturers should do something and come up with some guilt proof chocolate soon. Honestly, I do not think I am going to break up my love of Mr. Chocolate any time soon. After all it has been proven that chocolate is healthy and I understand it is actually good for the heart. Not just romantically but medically. Well, this is reason enough for me to continue dreaming, yearning, seeking and finally, munching on my favorite chocolates for eternity.
The magic of chocolate is simply astounding. Have you ever realized how right it feels to meet nice and good looking chocolate? I often hear someone quoting a mellow voice as chocolate coated or luscious lips as chocolate velvet. This in my opinion shows that nature and our own brains have conditioned us to relate chocolate only with what we consider to be fine and attractive. How then can we invert this and start regarding chocolate as dangerous or fattening. These sort of chocolate thoughts are not very compelling. Or should we recondition our minds to start thinking otherwise about chocolate? I do not think it will work; after all we are already deeply involved with chocolate. It may be too late to change the rules. What would be the excuse after all, irreconcilable differences?
To bring my long trail of thoughts to a closure, I have to say one more thing loud and clear. Chocolate is friendly, not only to our taste buds but to the entire body but only if its quality chocolate and taken in considerable measures too. When all is said and done am not sure I want to end my long term relationship with any form of my chocolate fascination. Yet I will always be torn by the fact that something so good for me can also be so bad for me.
