I just received an email that shows pictures of chocolate. Im not one to have chocolate cravings, so I thought nothing of it and started watching the Word File. After looking at all those pictures of the most delicious chocolate, I started tasting it. Needless to say, I searched through the house and I dont have any chocolate AT ALL !!! Now I have this craving for just about anything chocolaty and all the stores are closed as its 1:30AM. Are you the same? Can you look at pictures of chocolate and not have this crazy craving that says you just have to HAVE SOME?

Hello Bnx, Haha, I guess I wont show you the lovely email I received showing those delicious pictures of chocolate then. I think it was done on purpose by a chocolate company since Valentine's day is right around the corner.

Hello Chocalate, Oh yes, I sure can tell by your nickname!! So, since you're really into chocolate, what would you do if you didnt have any in the house? I keep asking myself if theres anything else that can replace that delicious taste?

I used to get a "dessert tea" that was chocolate raspberry, and since I do not sweeten my tea, it had no calories. I also have found a "flavored water" that is unsweetened called Metro, and it has a Chocolate mint that is good.

Hi, MagicalBubbles. Not me. If I see any pictures of chocolate, I will crave it especially when I am hungry. I used to attend a Food And Nutrition class in high school. And, we had a book that had pictures of food in it. I was in 4th period at that time. Well, I was so hungry then. I was in the last period that we could eat lunch in. I would look at the pictures in the book just so that it could satisfy my hunger. I was really hungry then. So, I know what you mean when you say that you will crave chocolate when you look at it.

I love chocolate too but if I see a picture of it yes I want it but I won't go crazy looking for a piece if there is none in the house. I can wait to get that piece of chocolate. Its so funny there is a commercial on TV where they show liquid chocolate and my 3 years old granddaughter stares at the screen saying "Grandma look at that, doesn't that look delicious." We are both chocolatics.

Hello Lelin, Ive seen such a commercial and you're right, I turn away when I know its on, but they sure know how to capture kids, dont they? Did she ask for you to get her some then?

If it is a piece of cake I have to have a piece of chocolate cake! L.O.L. But if it is a candy bar I can usually pass it up unless it is a Kit Kat bar.

I haven't had a Kit Kat in so long!! It is one of my favorite and maybe later when I head to the store I will buy some!!!

Hello Jahernandezrivas, Thanks for your reply. I also like KitKat candy bars. Easy to eat while working at the computer. Now that you talked about it, I feel like eating one right now.

I just love to eat chocolates and I can resist them .It would be very hard to resist chocolates for me. SO I don't think that I will be able to look at chocolates and not eat them.

Hello Shail, Sounds like you're part of the Chocolate Lovers Club then. I sure know what you mean. Chocolate makes kids out of us, so why fight it.

No, not really :-) Of course, if I just look at the pictures and don't have any chocolate I can't eat it either, but if I look at pictures of chocolate and have some, I will probably eat it. Unless I've managed to hide it so I can't find it, or I plan to use it for gifts.

Hello Torunn, Thanks for replying. I know what you mean about hiding chocolate, thats why I was stuck with none in the house. But....honestly...wouldnt you want to find it though, I know I sure would. You should have seen those pictures....too bad I cant post pictures as of yet !!

it depends on my craving intensity during that time. I could be attracted by beautiful pics of chocolate, but I dont have desire to eat it. because the nice shape of chocolate is like an artwork and i prefer to watch it.

Hi Babysun, I admire your love for artwork even if its made of chocolate. The email I received what indeed pictures of chocolate artwork and although it was amazing all they could do with chocolate, the more I looked at it, the more I wanted to eat chocolate. You sure know how to manage your "hungers" ....thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, I know that too much of anything is not good. But now they say chocolate IS good for us......in moderation of course but it takes the guilt away a little to know its actually good for us lol. Thanks!
