Chocoholics Anonymous

We admit we are powerless over chocolate—that our lives have become unmanageable.

I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT. I AM CHOCOLATE-ENRICHED.

I'm trying to gain weight, I lost a whole line here. What is with DG lately?
The other day, I had a hot fudge sundae for b.fast to celebrate one of my summer kids, getting her first brand new car. It was great. I should do it everyday.
Can't beat chocolate when you are celebrating!

If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated.

We only eat dark chocolate - for health reasons! :-)

Randy...you're making men look bad here...we all know only women are addicted to chocolate !

I took part in a chocolate study three years ago at UCD. They had two formulations of chocolate bars - one with high flavinoids and one low. We "had" to eat two chocolate bars every day for three weeks, then two weeks off chocolate (and believe me, that was hard after the 2 bars a day habit), and then three weeks of the second set of chocolates. Best study I have ever participated on.......and yes, I gained about 5 lbs. And the bonus?? I got paid for eating chocolate.

Mike, you don't get it. The "Thought" thread had become the "Chocolate" thread.

Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces.

DP are you in denial?
JD, BengalPhoto is an unashamed chocolate-holic, and the last time I checked he was a guy. He ate most of his GF's heart shaped box of Valentine Candy. LOL!

No Jules, I've never been to Egypt.

The 12-step chocoholics program: Never be more than 12 steps away from chocolate!

Randy............!!!

And I am a Belgian, no need to say more :-)

Tomorrow is Easter. Easter bunny be aware of these individuals. You are not safe. Dump all the Chocolate NOW.....You are not safe in California....

This is priceless. For those of you who don't know, Molly & McGee are two owls that are raising four chicks in San Marcos. The whole thing is being witnessed online by thousands. One of the fans has been doing cartoons of them and this one fits right in with this thread.

Quick Mind....

Kathleen thank you for the laugh!! That was priceless!!

God gave the angels wings, and he gave humans chocolate

DP,
Ya better not do that when I'm drinking milk, or you'll be wearing it. Dang it boy, just about laughed so hard I cracked a rib.
To be fair DP, I have heard people refer to this area as BF Egypt. I don't think they meant best friend. Which made me laugh even harder!
Really good one, KC. You gave me the double whammy. Loved the comic.
Personally, after I delivered the choc. bunnies, I went back to bed and pretended I didn't know nothing about them. Of course I had to eat the ears on mine first. LOL!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

I can walk right past chocolate, but do not leave your roasted garlic, balsamic vinegar, cracked black pepper and sour dough bread unattended. It will be gone.

Thanks Sharon, that reminds me. I need to harvest my garlic.
You'd best not leave chocolate unguarded in this house. It will be consumed!
I love fresh made bread myself.

Jules that is funny my 7 year old ate his bunny down to the feet, those he saved for today :o)

Chocolate is ground from the beans of happiness

Yep, kids are funny that way.
DH ate all of his bunny, I'm still working on mine. I tend to take small bites and really take the time to savor the taste of the chocolate.
I gained a whole pound, so maybe I'll just keep eating chocolate every day! LOL!

He went right home and demolished the feet. Left the empty box as evidence in the refrigerator!!

Man cannot live on chocolate alone, but woman sure can.

My name is BETTY JO...I don't eat chocolates anymore...I don't eat them any less though.


Marie! I am beginning to believe all those people at the SW Swap yesterday when they accused you of eating all MY chocolates!! NAAAH! Sweet Marie would never do that to me

You're only a real chocoholic if you're trying to quit, right?

Quit?....We're supposed to quit??? How droll! Jo

I was going to accuse you of the same thing Jo!! What is every one's favorite chocolate?



Chocolate is an antidepressant, which is especially useful as you start to gain weight.

Chocolate is good no matter how you get it. Now if only they could give it to you intravenously.
LOL!
I finally finished up my choc bunny. Now I am working on choc coverd peanut clusters.
I lost my e on the keyboard. I hope my son can fix it. ACK!
I think I need some chocolate to cheer me up.

I love Dove's chocolates with caramel...Nestle's Treasures with Caramel...Russell Stover's in the green ribbon box...all soft centers...especially like the ones with rasberry filling.

I am boycotting Hershey's since they moved their Peppermint Patty factory to Mexico and cut off 3,000 workers in PA!! (BUT...I will eat them if others have bought them! LOL)...Did I mention how good that Chirardelli is? YUMMY....

I really think that Godiva is greatly over-rated...but they are now owned by Campbells soup and they make good soup. Jo

LOL Jo I love Dove's chocolates with caramel too!! I wouldlike to boycott Hershey's but I cannot . I am too weak.

FLOWERS WILT, JEWELRY TARNISHES, AND CANDLES BURN OUT...BUT CHOCOLATE DOESN'T HANG AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO GET OLD

Marie, do you have Trader Joe's in AZ? They have soooo much choice in chocolate. Mail a box of non-Hershey home!

Marie...I knew we were kindred spirits....Jo

We do have a Trader Joe's here. Just none close by. I will have to visitt rodica for lunch one day so I can peruse the chocolate section of the one by her office.

Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don’t need an appointment

So should I bring some chocolate mint to the RU this month? Is that the price to pay? I've got TONS!!!!! ^_^

Cayte

"Tons" works for me...how about you, Marie?? Jo

Yep it works for me. I am probably the only person alive who has killed chocolate mint!!

A little too much chocolate is just about right.

Okay, I'm the loner here. I can't stand chocolate mint, or chocolate alcohol, or chocolate coffee, but then again I don't drink alcohol or coffee in the first place. LOL!
My Chocolate Orchid is blooming. The caterpillars liked it so much I didn't get to enjoy the blooms the last time it bloomed. Who'd of thunk caterpillars like chocolate too?
Will take a photo to share. It smells like chocolate. Yummy!
