Like Chocolate

Even though it might look like it, this post is not solely about Lindt chocolate, but about chocolate in general. I've done a post on Lindt before anyway!

So, I'm a well known chocolate addict who came out to the world with my confession long ago. I eat chocolate every day. When for some reason I get deprived of it even for a few days, my eating patterns change dramatically - I would either eat anything and everything chocolate flavored within reach or would just start eating too much of everything. So yeah, basically, chocolate is one of the reasons I stay fit, ha. I know my chocolate well too - I can always tell when my body's craving a 70% cocoa treat or a 85% chocolate bar, and I try to keep all kinds of brown goodness at home at any time. To tell you the truth, it used to be even worse - all my passwords used to include the word "chocolate" in them... Not any more. Oh, chocolate, how I'm thankful for you!..

  3. I love chocolate too! I crave for it everyday and give in almost everyday. Lindt is one of the best among the reasonably priced ones.

    I just found your blog and I think it's great! It's really inspiring and it nudged me to stick with positive thoughts. :)

  4. Hahaha! I am a certified chocolate addict too. If I don't get my daily dose, I feel so sluggish. And I eat any kind... dark, white, milk. I'm not choosy as long as it's chocolate.

    Happy Sunday Julia! xoxo

This lindth store near my job has everything 50 percent off I bet you'd love it lol. - loooove godiva chocolate, what about u? Ooo nd the godiva shakes are to dieeeee for. But my fav is reeses, twix, bunch of crunch, and I like hot cocoa too... Lol look at us talking about chocolate. This is terrible too much sugar I'm gonna break out lol

  6. Ha ha ha. Another certified chocolate addict. I can name the brands I love but they'd be too many :O
    Usually I tell my husband to pick up on a bar or two when he's out. Believe it or not, I get ticked off if it's a chocolate I don't like lol. Selective and bad me.

  9. Alison, good to know we're in the same boat indeed! :)

    Arushi, it's the only one from the picture I don't eat (it was for mom) - I'm allergic to nuts and it has loads in it :(

    Manila Girl, thank you so much! Happy to help out with some positivity :) Welcome!

    Leah, I love all kinds, but mostly eat dark chocolate though!

    For The Fierce, oh I'd definately love that store haha Godiva is good, I love their fab packaging. But from my personal expereince they make most of tehir stuff with nuts and all, I get allergies, so this one's tricky... And I'd be broke if I started eating it every day anyway, haha

    Arty, I see what you mean and I can understand that :)

    Guillaume, happy chocolate shopping! :)

    Bo, well, it contains enough of cocoa butter so it's still chocolate... :)

  18. Nuheila, Fazers' 'Geisha' chocolates are good!

    Treacle, I'm no fan of Russian chocolate too, so always buy European stuff! I feel you :)

    Té la mà Maria - Reus, thank you!! And aww, I know where Reus is!! I've almost been there :) On my train rides from Salou to Barcelona and back we've either always passed Reus or it was one of the nearby stations.. can't quite recall now for sure!

  19. I clicked on the Lindt link, and I swear I couldn't finish watching the commercial. It was simply too enticing. Ah ~ you've sent me on a chocolate mission now.

    It's so funny that you made this "confession" as if it were a sin. Chocolate is no sin, Julia oh Julia. As the saying goes, "Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate." However, it is definitely an obsession when you start using it in your passwords. That's a whole new level I've never heard of.

  24. haha very cute. I am more of a salt person though so my version would be like "Oh Stir Fry, how thankful I am for you..." haha.

  25. Graham, oh Graham, glad you enjoyed the add! I've watched a lot of the stuff on their website a few days back too :) And well... It's not a sin, but many consider it to be! haha Lol at the new level.. Well, I used to be obsessed, it's not as bad now!

    jeune_premier, believe it or not, I know one such person - my friend Teddy doesn't like chocolate!

    Mademoiselle Frou-Frou, aws, thanks! No worries about commenting on one post twice, I really don't mind :) It's actually very sweet of you to come and aknowledge the comment this way!

    Caitlin, go try some 99% cocoa chocolate then - I swear it tastes salty to me!!!
