losew8 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 OK so everyone knows that I am totally addicted to chocolate and my favorite American chocolate is See’s Candy. I have been known on many occasions after a hard day at work to skip dinner and enroute home to stop by, at a 3 mile deviation, See’s and get a bag of chocolates and gorge them before I reach home. This is my favorite dinner! Well, Christmas at my business is always challenging because a lot of the companies we do business with bless me, I mean ‘us’, with boxes of chocolates and goodies that are just too hard to pass. Yesterday was my first big test as a beautiful, delicious, mouth watering and bulge out your eyes box of mixed favorites arrived care of our accountant. The intoxicating smell when I opened the box was enough to make me delirious, my creative spirit was fixing ways that I could actually eat one. I thought about cutting one up into 14 pill size pieces, sucking one for an hour or two, saving some for when I could eat, I would have resulted in anything to get one! But I didn’t. I was good. It was a test of my soul, my commitment to losing weight and my character. However, enroute home I did stop at the store and get some chocolate pudding!
