Next time, carry a BIG purse and hide a smaller package of them inside. Just for you!! It isn’t being selfish... it is allowing yourself a little luxury. Yum!

I had them with me at the computer as I caught up with FRee Republic after a weekend of being away...

Bad idea...

I should have just put them in the fridge for another day...

Oh well...

I usually just have one-a-day...My control is usually pretty good...

I dont know how I lost all sense of proportion and gave in to temptation...

:(

<< A control group will be given a placebo. >>

Assumes their “placebo,” not containing any chocolate, will be real hard to distinguish from a piece dark chocolate? They must select test subjects who have no taste buds.

Chocolate is also hurricane food.

Indeed! Chocolate is a basic hurricane staple. It won't change the storm's direction, but it surely helps survival of those long, stressful hours.
