...without thinking, I ate two chocolate thin mints.

You're going to hell, mister.

Maybe I should try giving up chocolate for awhile too.

I totally am!

I picked chocolate because I am addicted to it and I wanted to see if I could successfully wean myself off of it. And it has the benefit of being a healthier lifestyle also.

i too gave up chocolate.

yesterday i got an ice dream from chikfila with hershey's syrup. four bites in i realized what i was doing and had to throw it away.

Ah, you can relate then! It's going to be tough. Lent is what, 6 weeks? I don't know if I can hold out that long...

Hey Jon, you said I could read your public lj so I check in once in a while. I didn't know you liked chocolate so much. Should I send some with the newspapers?

No, you can hold off on the chocolates. I'm trying to give it up for Lent, you know.
