My Secret Love Affair
Okay, don’t get me wrong—-I can explain!
Ever since the beginning of the month, November- I can’t stop tasting the bittersweet promises of CHOCOLATES. Thus, my secret love affair with chocolates began.
I called it, “Sweet November Love Affair”. Who’s talking?
These chocolates are talking.
Well, no wonder why kids love “treat and tricking”. Chocolates and surprises await. However, the problem here is that—-most parents, (a loving, caring and concern parents with their children’s teeth and their child’s over-all health) avoided their kids to eat those bunch of sugars stuff in chocolates. It left nothing but an adult eating those mouth-watering, desirable and yummy chocolates.
And…I’M GUILTY! as in, G.U.I.L.T.Y!
I can’t stop.
You know the feeling when you’re in-love romantically? (char-char) Like you can’t stop thinking over the person or drooling over with someone? (oh-my-gosh) And you know very well that you have to control your feelings because it’s not healthy? Biblical(ly), it becomes idolatry? Well, it happens when you don’t know about “self-control”.
And, yes—I’m drooling over with Chocolates! Which guaranteed me nothing but few of these symptoms:
1. I develop a love and hate syndrome.
2. I keep pacing back and forth.
3. With this mantra in my head “No, I can’t; yes, I can”.
I told myself to stop. Yet, somehow- I found myself digging in a bag full of chocolates. I don’t know what kind of stuff does the chocolate maker put in there that makes me crave. Yes, CRAVING is the word. The word itself means addictive.
Like you can’t get over it.
The symptoms that you become addictive are as follows:
1. It’s all over your head.
2. You can’t look away.
3. Once you eat it, you don’t want to stop.
4. It’s all over in your purse.
5. You wake up in the morning, thinking about chocolates.
And how you want to get off with that thinking?
I wish!
How I wish to end my “Sweet November Love Affair” because I know that in the long run, I will suffer with “weight problems” a year later or a month after.
Ha! Speaking of weight, it shows off recently. It’s funny how a weigh scale slap your wits and look at the bottom of the issue. With the clear, bold message saying—-“Oops, you gotta stop eating those, you know”.
At last, the ever-famous Christian scripture strikes at the corner of my brain:
“Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial”.
Yes—it pays off in a bad- bad, really bad way!
