However.....
Pigging out is no longer an option.
I try to stay away from chocolate because if I buy one candy bar, I buy the biggest one I can find. And eat it all in one sitting. When I see chocolate covered cherries, I can't resist. And ditto. And Almond Roca. Oh my!
However, if I don't severely restrain myself, I end up spending a lot of time in the bathroom. So, I thought maybe after all these years of self-indulgence I had developed a sensitivity to chocolate.
Nope.
It's sugar.
I've been wanting ice cream lately. Yeah, I know, it's the middle of winter. But I wanted ice cream, so I finally hauled myself to the store and bought a half gallon of Breyer's vanilla/orange sherbet swirl "Creamsicle." Did I have a small bowl? No, I took the lid off, and spooned large amounts of ice cream into me -- straight from the box -- while reading an inspirational book. Yes, there's still some left.
So, I'm sitting here at my 'puter and all of a sudden have a huge urge to, well, you know. Go. In a hurry.
So it's the sugar. And combined with the chocolate, I think maybe I'm going to have to find some other oral satisfaction.
Stick of gum, anyone?
Shalom.
