Gosh, ya know, that MIGHT just be the reason my pants are tight this week! (Maybe. It could also be the donuts they are supplying us with at work, too. Probably both.)
Oh no! Not my Reese's! This post gets major props for its educational value. Especially useful for us home alone. Thanks.h :)
I know that everything in moderation is good - that said, a day without chocolate would be a dull one for me! I do read the nutritional values and calculate them into my daily caloric allotment. I also know that when I deny myself something (like chocolate) I want it even more.
