I need Chocolate
I have opened my fridge, my freezer, and every cupboard 10 times today for the sole purpose of finding a fabulous treat. There are no treats. But every hour or so I think that maybe if I check one more time something great will be there that I forgot about. I was at the store just the other day and picked up a bag of choco chips (yeah, I am out of those too) and put them in my cart. But then I realized that one more dollar might just put me over the top of what's left in my little "Grocery" envelope and if I bought the chocolate chips I would just make a great bowl of cookie dough of which I would eat a good half. So I put them back. I have purposefully avoided buying any such thing because I know that I am weaker than usual and a little chubbier than usual (haven't been running as much) and as good as a bowl of cookie dough sounds, I really don't need it. Do I? I do. I really, really, wish that I had it right now. I suppose that means that it's a good thing I don't. But this bag of chex mix in front of me is really not doing me any good. Couldn't they at least throw in a little chocolate?

If you give me your address I'll mail you a chocolatey treat once a month. We snackless mom's gotta stick together!
Here's my thing...If you need chocolate and you don't have it, then do you fnd yourself just eatng anything trying to fill the hole? And would it have been to have a few bites of chocoate instead of a whole bag of chex mix that just doesn't ever hit the spot. Know exactly what you mean>
HI! so you need to run to albertsons, and get yourself a rain check for chocolate chips... the hersheys ones are on for $.70 each bag when you buy 10. Then you will have it on hand, and you don't have to make cookie dough, you can just do the hand full of chips...
Hey BJ had this problem yesterday as well. Lucky for him I had picked up the $.70 chocolate chips. I do not buy candy as much anymore, because I seem to be the one that eats it, so if you don't buy it, you dont eat it. But Nancy has a good point. What do you do?
I have felt like this 100 times. I agree wtih Nancy - you wonder around the house eating everything hoping it will be as good as chocolate, but nothing is. I remember when we were little Jason had a HUGE box of candy and we were all having the "I need chocolate day". Jason gave each of us a TINY TINY piece (but it solved the problem) - did you ask him if he had any chocolate?
Carol - she knows that I have chocolate, but they're the Holiday Hershey Kisses that have the cherry stuff inside - she says the chocolate tastes old. I'm sure she's right, but if you only eat one Kiss a week you don't notice when the chocolate has gone bad.
There were two elders in one of my district on my mission that were trying to watch their weight and money, so they only bought cheap stuff that didn't satisfy their hunger. They ended up not saving any money, or losing any weight, because they were always eating cheap food and were never satisfied...
I didn't say they taste old. I said that they taste horribly stale! It's a sad thing when you want chocolate that bad and you resort to raiding your husbands secret supply. You rejoice in finding a sweet little kiss and salivate in anticipation of how good it will taste only to find that it's completely gross. It couldn't even pass for chocolate anymore! Throw them away!
