Chocolate. A Girl's Best Friend.

I'll be the first to admit that I consume far too much chocolate. Dark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, hot chocolate, chocolate milk... I could go on, but I think you get the idea. When I'm sad, I eat chocolate and even if it's only for 30 seconds, everything is better again. I'm told that can be a sign of addiction. I don't care. I need it, every day.

Anyways...As a good little Catholic girl, it's tradition for me to give something up in the 40 days leading up to Easter. In previous years I've managed to go without television, soft drinks, even bread. This year in some insane moment of ambition I decided to give up, you guessed it.... chocolate. 11 days into Lent, and I haven't touched chocolate once. My normal breakfast of toast and Nutella, replaced with peanut butter. Yuck. My mochas, replaced with double doubles. It's been a long hard road, and I've still got 29 days. I can do this, yes I can!!
