heart shaped box chocolates...

[Miranda]

Oh what a lovely gift to receive on Valentine's Day. The chocolate is always good, but it's the pretty heart shaped box that really does it for me lol.

But, while admiring the pretty box, the chocolates just seem to keep steadily disappearing lol. This was an interesting find in the total calories going down the hatch.

Well, I hate to say it, but at eating half already I think I've consumed my favorites and am pretty much done. What else I eat will only be mindlessly because "it's there".

So, I think the rest might hafta get fed to the trash can. I feel bad about the idea of doing it. But, the whole box is calorie whoa. Half is pretty bad way it is.

Freeze'em and treat yourself once or twice a week after a long ride.

Lovely gift! Let it keep on giving!

DH the sag guy knows about me and choclate so instead he gets me two lovely chocolate covered strawberries, one white, one dark, and or a very small (3-4 piece) heart shaped box of choclates which I share with him.

My other expression of choclate addiction is to make chicken mole a couple of times a year- I make my own mole and sample some as I go.

So tomorrow, I do an extra hour on the trainer. It was worth it.

I'm going to buy myself a little box tomorrow

Thx ladies for replies. The freezer is maybe an option because at least it is not on the kitchen counter in sight lol. Oh yes, it is a lovely gift. I think I just need the big pretty heart box... with about half dozen pieces of chocolate... and the rest Lara bars lol.

My mom's dietitian actually suggested the freezer thing as a cure for the mindless eating. Somewhere in my mom's lizard brain was the conviction that she might never get chocolate again, so she had to eat whatever was available NOW. By eating one piece of fine chocolate every single day, she's been able to re-program that.
