Yes, I'm sure this will be controversial. Valentine's Day without Chocolate would be like......fill in the blank...! for me Valentine's Day without Chocolate would be like taking a shower without soap!  It just shouldn't happen! LOL chocolate.jpg chocolate image by saswatisett

Actually it's not so terrible for me.  I haven't had chocolate on Valentine's in so long!  My hubby is of the opinion that giving someone chocolate says you don't care about them and their health.  Plus, he's out of town, so I'll be having a nice quiet Valentine's Day at home.   But, that's just me.  I say if it's absolutely punishing to you, have one bite, or try the sugar free version (if you can do sugar alcohols.)  Better yet, surround yourself with some beautiful flowers on the big day!!!  :)

LOVE flowers, I try to surround myself with them all year long!  I will have a bite or two of Chocolate and then have my husband hide it or give it to my son. Maybe I should buy myself some Chocolate flavored lip balm?! LOL!

I eat chocolate now and then anyways, I am not a huge fan but every now and then I crave it... I buy a dove bar at the grocery store and eat about half... its so good and creamy thats all I need!

I eat chocolate occasionally also.  It won't undo anything, just don't make a habit of it.  Know your limitations, if you can't eat just a little then don't eat any.   I hope you have a Happy Valentines Day. Ellen

Own it all, it's yours!

I use to be a chocoholic, but since my surgery, I don't eat it, but TODAY I plan to have one little DOVE milk chocolate heart that is on my desk.  I'll wait until after lunch when I've had my protein and then I'll take my time and savor it instead of eating half a bag like I use to do.... Happy Valentines Day Everyone!  Alice
