Good morning ladies and gents!!!

I suck! OK, no I don't but I succumb to a hershey's bar this morning. I was really craving some chocolate and the cocoa roasted almonds weren't doing it. I think I'm getting close to the TOM. I'm craving chocolate and salt. I'm manic and lack of sleep really isn't helping. My back is really bothering me also.... thank goodness for oxycodone. They help!!! I try to watch taking them at work, they make me a little funny acting... HA, nothing abnormal there. I plan on working with my friend Nicole tonight or her home, get some energy out and try to get tired. Here's hoping it works. I've had 13 hours of sleep in the last 2 weeks. Yikes.

How's everyone else doing today??

(hugs) Next time get the hershey's special dark - or dove dark chocolate. They are a good segue into darker chocolates. I prefer Ghiradelli as the best cheap supermarket brand and 72% for flavor, but I can eat twice as much 86%...which is tolerable.

Either way, try making chocolate mousse (hershey's special dark cocoa powder - can use regular, but have to add vanilla extra to taste good, heavy cream, and stevia - whip to texture). or using dark chocolate. And limit to a square or two..

Just keep the rest of the day way low carb and if you don't get SICK, you'll level out... (hugs)

P.S. Praying for your mania to end without the "standard" crash... (hugs)

Btw, me, I'm all over the place and not being able to focus where I need to, and missing a super important form! Can't find it anywhere!

Sorry you are rough atm Cari. Dont blame you for falling into a chocolate bar though having tried Hersheys I have to say American chocolate is rank. Tastes like soap to me after being used to Cadbury for years. Maybe I should send you some dairy milk but I dont wanna ruin your plan more xxx

Lise, thanks for the offer.... but no thanks! LOL.

Carly, I wish I'd been able to keep it low carb. I'm over for the day, but I still believe under for the week. So it should all even out, I hope. I will try to make the chocolate mousse, sounds amazing. Thanks for the prayer, need it right now. Hopefully you can focus more and find the form you are looking for.

Lise, We have Cadbury milk here in the supermarket...and I am not sure if it is the same, but it's just a richer chocolate... I'd be jealous to try some of the super dark chocolate delicacies I know England has to offer!

Lindt is pretty nice they do a dark with sea salt

YUM!!! Lindt.

Lindt here is the bottom of the barrel of decent stuff. Ghiradelli is much much better in quality of ingredients that Lindt.... Lindt here is a waxy, flavorless mess.
