Either I have more self control than you or I just don't like chocolate
as much. Maybe I am coping with memories of overdosing on chocolate when
I was a kid. I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate. If I start
eating milk chocolate I will likely eat it until I start to suffer.
Dark chocolate OTOH, is very satisfying. I buy large bars of it and
break of a square to eat every couple of days. I almost never go back
for a second piece. I get those medium size bars, the ones that sell
for $2-4 depending on the quality, and one of those will last me at
least two weeks. It may be several weeks before I think of replacing it.
