After Eating Chocolate

Well, there is marzipan and then there is marzipan! There are those molded fruit things you can get that are made of it and they are awful. But the chocolates that have marzipan in are delicious. I wish the almond milk wasn't so expensive.

Yep I think that might have been what my Grandmother bought, they were terrible. There are probably new kinds out on the market though these days like the chocolate you write about now. Almond milk can be expensive, I printed out a online coupon for it recently and if I catch it on sale one day before the coupon expired I will buy it again then. It has carageenan in it too which some people say causes cancer so I won't consume it very often.

Possibly but I have no idea what that is supposed to feel like. I think my paternal grandmom used to buy marzipan long ago, I tried it one time and didn't care for it. I do love almonds in other foods though and now I have this 'obscession' with Almond Milk--oh yum, tastes better than regular milk. Then again it has more calcium but less protein. Vanilla soy milk is the same way with me, I 'd rather drink that than reg milk.

I didn't know that about the baking squares being less calories, thanks for telling me. i would love to find a way to lessen all the calories I intake these days. I have never tried chai, what is that?

Not all baking squares, you have to read the lables. Chai is a spiced tea that is often sweatened with honey and served with milk. Think of pumpkin without all the spices and milk. It's just a darker colored squash flesh. Now think of pumpkin pie with the spices and milk. Chai does all that to tea. It's amazing. Also a great enegizer and anti-depressant. Makes you happy and full of energy. Chai is expensive at a coffee shop, but worth it. Not all coffee shops are the same. Borders makes the most diluted and pathetic chai I've even seen. So try chai a few places before you decide if you like it or not. But a small around here is almost 4 dollars. Interestingly the Tibetan place I went to served it without much milk and it was not as good like pumpkin pie without the milk. I hope you like pumpkin pie or this isn't a very good comparison for you.

I try to read alot of the labels on many items, I'm going to have to do that with the chocolate squares now. Oh that Chai tea is something for me as well, I am often depressed and unenergized. Get tired very fast. Yes, there are all kinds of it, some teas not as good as the others. Expensive, wow I'll say at $4. for one cup, is it? Pumpkin pie is also good, yes I like most anything with it in it. I'm the only one here in the family who likes it besides my grandmother who passed away.

Hmmm, yes caramel is delicious too and it just adds more flavour to the already yummy chocolates that we buy and eat. I am lucky I can go a few weeks without it if I stay away from it slowly again. Like recently I can touch a package of it without even opening it to consume. Do you think it's due to the sugar content? I wish I knew why it seems I have gained a pound right after eating it.

You might be allergic to it, but dark chocolate is supposed to be healthier for you anyways. I dislike most dark chocolates, but I would probably eat Lindt chocolates dark.

Yes, it seems I know limits but am getting worse at controlling my urges to eat but these days all I have to do is look at food and I can gain weight it seems. I gained back all the weight I lost a few years ago now and hate it. I have to start losing again but with the holidays here it will be even double hard for me.

Good call, I feel the same way. It is really addicting too I think, something about it makes you keep wanting more. I can't spell it either, although you seemed to type it on here fine, lol.

LOL, did you have to get some chocolate after reading this? I think sometimes we just have to hear or read the word and we get hungry for it. It's strange, that a food can do so much to our senses and crave it alot.

Oh so you have work outs, that is how you do it. Then I will have to start working out myself again. I do miss it and when i was thinner I didn't feel as sluggish as I do now. I lost weight and only weighed like 122 a year or so ago but then I found out I had this tumor that was benign and was afraid to excersize much til it I got it out. I will have to get back on track again with the weight loss as I feel I put back on at least 10 pounds.

I try to avoid it but if I just have one piece then I'm craving it more. That is why i have to stay away from it all the time. I just can't seem to do it though. For one year I once did and that was a long time for me.
