Today's topic is: My Favorite Indulgence.
I'm a chocoholic. Diabetes be damned I'm going to have my chocolate.
I try to get as high a cocoa count as possible. 70% to 80% and I limit myself to one level a day when I'm being good. I tried 100% one time, like eating saw dust.
It's easier now I'm on a medicine that's only one shot a week. It gives me a mild case of sea sickness (how I describe it) my stomach is queasy all the time.
When I was on insulin I craved sweets like a ravenous dog. Mounds bars, Almond Joy, Three Musketeers, Milky Way, chocolate covered raisins, hot chocolate, chocolate milk, ice cream with chocolate syrup, chocolate milk shakes.... Need I go on?
With this new medication I've lost thirty pounds in six months. I can finally bend down and pick up what I've dropped without busting a gut.

I love dark chocolate...even the 100% kind. :)
Congratulations on losing 30 pounds. That's impressive.
I'm glad you were able to lose the weight, but I also like your one a day mentality. Sometimes not allowing yourself a little of something can make you binge more than you should. Good job!
Glad you agree, Megan.
I love extra dark chocolate, though I typically max out at about 85% ... mmmm.... and IMHO it's a necessity, not an indulgence :-D
Yes it is!
Congrats on the weight loss! For me, chocolate is something I like, but only in very small doses. If I eat much more than a couple Hershey Kisses' worth, I feel ill.
To each his own, Berthold. Thanks for coming by.
Congratulations on the weight loss. One a day is a good idea.
