Someone STOP ME!

FH is in Alaska (in his hometown) til next Sunday night. I just realized how bored I get when we're not doing our typical daily thing of being silly together. I didnt realize how much just being around eachother we entertain eachother and how much I miss him. Sheesh. Problem is...I CANT STOP EATING OUT OF BOREDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im not even that hungry and I cant stop. Late night snacks, serious problem. Grossing myself out right now so bad. Especially bc i really want to lose weight and sad part is, I get way too much pleasure out of eating chocolate and yummy snacks. What the heck is wrong with me?! I keep trying to remind myself..losing weight feels better than temporarly chocolate high!

I just ate a HUGE bowl of ice cream FH has benn on buissness trips for the last month So I can't help!!!!!

Oh no! Step away from the chocolate!!!

i know how you feel! I am guilty of eating junk and snacks late at night and its terrible....i could go the whole day w/o eating junk but come 9 or 10pm i can down an entire bag of sun chips

i think youre right! thats my only remedy throughout the day, bc any time im bored and it comes to mind, im like..hmm lemme go get a snack.

i have to say, i just really hate being home alone. it freaks me out!

other thing, i try to chew sugar free gum during the day instead of snacking...i guess fool myself by keeping my mouth busy! i know that sounds weird. oral fixation or something!

But Chocolate is Good for YOu!!!!


Cacao, the source of chocolate, contains antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. Of course, this is counteracted by the high sugar content of milk chocolate.

* The smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves, resulting in relaxation.

* Chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a mild mood elevator.

* The cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fat which may raise good cholesterol.

* Drinking a cup of hot chocolate before meals may actually diminish appetite.

* Men who eat chocolate live a year longer than those who don't.

* The flavanoids in chocolate may help keep blood vessels elastic.

* Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood.

* Mexican healers use chocolate to treat bronchitis and insect bites.

* The carbohydrates in chocolate raise serotonin levels in the brain, resulting in a sense of well-being.

so ive heard!!!

im assuming they mean in small portions!

the bad thing i noticed about dark chocolate is that it has given me panic attacks before! i know that sounds crazy but i have bad reactions to it sometimes. so i really do need to stay away.

seriously tho, within the past few wks i feel like im almost 'addicted' to chocolate! it makes me oh so happy!
