Keep Your Chocolate Eggs, Mr. Bunny
#ThemeOfTheWeek, two days running
I have defeated chocolate.
Okay, okay, it’s only been two days, but that’s two days in a row so I declare victory!
Backstory, a couple of years ago, I discovered I’d tipped the scales at 133 kgs. When I converted that into pounds, my native tongue, it scared me something stupid (133kg nears the 300 lb mark; I am 6’5” but still).
Another declaration? I love milk chocolate, it’s my go-to. When the pandemic hit, I hit chocolate. Hard.
With the hope of an epic-pandemic end, I stepped back from chocolate.
Then came the Easter Bunny. I live in a place where finding red meat on Good Friday is harder than avoiding chocolate in a pandemic. The bunny won.
But on the same day Christ arose, I stopped eating chocolate.
Two days and counting; kudos to me.
And kudos to a fellow TBIN writer, Bob Pepe…
For more fun from me, Will Hull and inspired by another TBIN writer, Michael Burg, MD…
