SuzyQ--Chocolate - yummmmm

[Guest guest]

My husband knows when I am really super sick....that is when I

refuse anything chocolate. When I am coming down with a sore

throat or a cold, I crave chocolate shakes......but then as I get

sicker the more I am repulsed by chocolate anything...even

M & Ms. That is cause to call the ambulance!!!

Seriously though, in my case I haven't figured out if it is the fat or

the caffeine that bothers me the most....I can eat M & Ms and other

chocolate ok, I can drink coke and Dr Pepper ok....but give me a

cupcake or donut and it kills me. Even a baked potato with a

small amount of butter on it did my in at lunch today. So I am

thinking that maybe I am more sensitive to fat than caffeine....but

who knows, doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

but on that same note: chocolate and holidays...do you find

yourself resenting parties and other get togethers that has food

as its main focus? I get really crabby when I am confronted with

these situations then end up feeling like a spoiled brat for being

upset that the hostess dared to have food for her guests.

Strange how our opinion changes on what makes a good host. I

was actually pleased as punch when a friend of ours gave us a

halloween treat basked that didn't include candy! Too weird.
