I don’t know what it is but over the last week I have nearly eaten my body weight in chocolate. Could I have become a chocoholic or am I just comfort eating?

If I’m comfort eating what is the reason? What has brought this on? Work, stress? Is it just me or is everybody turning to chocolate?

At this rate I will need to go clothes shopping for the next size up and won’t be able to afford chocolate!

Addictions to comfort food are increasingly common, but I think I’ve found the answer!

Join a gym, eat chocolate while you’re on the treadmill … and you are burning off the calories as you are eating them! Result!

But seriously, it’s all about moderation. A little of what you fancy and all that. We are what we eat, if we eat well during the week and do a bit of exercise every day, a treat on the weekend makes it all worthwhile.

When I was young, chocolate was maybe a once a week treat, if that. Now, it has become a staple part of most of our diets… and the more you eat, the more you crave (or is that just me?).
