I'm the Charlie Sheen of chocolate eating!

Delicioso!!!

Yes indeed.  This epiphany came to me while I was driving.  I can eat more chocolate than ANYONE in one sitting.  I am trying to be proud of this.It's an accomplishment, really.  I once ate an entire box of Frango Mints (a Chicago iconic treat) for breakfast.  I've eaten those giant hershey kisses in an hour...Once, hubby bought me a 5 lb. Hershey bar for Christmas.  It was gone in a few days.  Like Charlie, that's how I roll.  I love chocolate and it's very good for my mental health.  The little schoolboy cookies with the chocolate from france are great for breakfast. And I can clean the house and do EVERYTHING efficiently afterwards...

People say you should not eat chocolate.  Or eat only the bittersweet, unsweetened chocolate.  But, it's one of the pleasures of life.  And really, there are many responsibilities in life and seemingly fewer pleasures.  One should savor the sweet in life with sweet people.

People have told me I would be better if I lost weight.  Better what?  Better looking?  Because I sure would be the same inside.  An old boyfriend once told me I would be "perfect" if I lost x amount of weight.  I tried to lose it.  I was the same old me after I lost it.  And he cheated on me.  So, what the hell?  Do I listen to people who keep harping on me for their own empty agendas?  Or do I listen to my soul, my spirit, and do what the fuck I want?  I say eat the magnificent chocolate.  Eat it to the extreme.  Don't nibble it and bashfully save the remainder for later.  Eat the whole glob of it in one fell swoop.  Savor it and let the endorphins fly as the cocoa sinks in.

Could it be that some people want to sabatoge our happiness and harp on us for that very reason? 

  If being naughty is eating chocolate, then let me be the Charlie Sheen of chocolate eating.  I may live forever then.
