I’ve Got to Have Some Chocolate

My craving for some chocolate coincided with my friend Val Mills post on chocolate. I succumbed, but apparently she didn’t.

I woke up this morning in such a state.

I’d been dreaming all night of some chocolate.

I have been good for weeks and have not scoffed a crumb

In the effort to lose recent weight I’d put on.

But now I am faced with this situation

Which will not respond to procrastination.

I’ll have to go shopping without delay

If I want this sad craving to go away.

There is plenty of time to eat healthy food,

And I’ll soon burn the calories if I am shrewd.

So for a few hours my diet I delay,

And tomorrow, well, that’s another day.

I have always loved chocolates. As a kid, I’m probably like Cookie Monster when it comes to chocolates. But now that I’m an adult, I crave more for the dark, bitter chocolate. Taste buds are changing…and I don’t eat too much of it anymore.

ps…Ms Christine, it’s alright to give in sometimes. Treat yourself.

Christine chocolate has hard to refuse I know but more-so for a choc lover. Did you ever think about turning into a vegetarian or trying vegies more I know a balanced diet is good.

I love chocolate, it so delicious.

Poor chocolate. It gets such a bad name when it is in fact good for us (especially dark chocolate) when eaten in moderation. It has components that actually help us to ”feel” good, so I say – enjoy! As Scarlett O’Hara said in Gone With The Wind (& you also), I’ll think about that (the consequences) – tomorrow! Perhaps even just a little longer walk each day.

Oh Miss Christine it is not bad to eat chocolates when you crave for it,you deserve one once in a while! Sometimes not getting what we crave for is what will feel us bad. Love your poem Miss Christine,as always!

pguims on Mar 9, 2011
jm is right.. things are right better when in moderation… but miss christine should not be moderate in writing poems. lol! they are too good..
anndavey650 on Mar 9, 2011
Being good isn’t the same if you’re not bad once in a while. Trouble is when I give in, I’m very baaaaaaaad lol.
Starpisces on Mar 9, 2011
just eat it… eat it… eat it..
it’s not healthy when one want something and there’s so much restriction, so far I hardly hear anyone really put on much weight after eating chocolates, hey, I heard chocolate is a kind of vegetable from one of the posts somewhere, am I right?
Nicely done, as always, Christine.

So I have tons of company when it comes to succumbing to chocolates!! They are truly irresistible!! I have had chocolates many a times but never came up with a beautiful poem like this. Well written

Very Nice!

Anything is okay in moderation. Give in to your craving and then get back on track. When we deprive ourselves totally, it makes sticking to a diet that much harder.
Atanacio on Mar 9, 2011
Yeah Chocolate… It always gets me too– Although I fight it off.. but it wins, it knows what I want
Judi Eddy on Mar 9, 2011

Larry Fish on Mar 9, 2011
Oh Christine, we all get those chocolate cravings. Now I’m going to have to go get some.
Melody SJAL on Mar 9, 2011
Oh, just had one the other day too…enjoyable piece.
SongbirdB on Mar 9, 2011
Wonderful, as always, Christine! What a great poem, and yes, to indulge in what you fancy now and again, can make all the difference…hahaha…I hope you enjoyed my friend…
LoveDoctor on Mar 9, 2011
Treat yourself. Chocolate is delicious especially Godiva. This morning I woke up craving a big breakfast from Mc.Donald’s.
Ruby Hawk on Mar 9, 2011
Christine, if you limit yourself to one bite a day, it won’t hurt you.
Rhodora Bande on Mar 9, 2011
Haha! I like your sense of humor. I agree with you, tomorrow is another day. I just had a cup of chocolate ice-cream after dinner. Tomorrow is another day.
Goodselfme on Mar 9, 2011
Well said and I think in moderation is better than not having what we crave.
shakugan123 on Mar 9, 2011
I crave for a dark chocolate
Every evening when it is so late
Good thing I save few bars
For if not, I’ll drive my car
and purchase Godiva, hersheys, and See’s
Erin Miller on Mar 9, 2011
Always good to have some sweets in moderation. You are still doing well!
Adrn0919 on Mar 9, 2011

Lovely write, I don’t know what doesn’t bring the best out of your fingers.
Val Mills on Mar 10, 2011
OK, that’s it, I give in and shall allow myself to eat the little chocolates that were on the reception table at my niece’s wedding recently! I may even eat my husband’s too – they’re very little!

This is a great poem. I love chocolate so it would be hard for me to give it up. No wonder it is getting hard for you to resist.
