    So true, however after two weeks of this WOE and they could be giving it away and I wouldn't want it... sugar cravings have been eliminated.

    Omg used to be my favorite day I'd buy 4 or 5 of those stupid hearts on sale. Don't even care this year. I'm actually sitting 2 feet away from a bag of sponge candy right now sipping my coffee, not even tempted :)

    February 15th, November 1st, December 26th, and whatever day is the Monday after Easter in a given year (in this case, March 28th)....

    On the up side, I've been seeing stuff like lobster tails and ribeyes in heart-shaped packaging, so you might be able to find those things, too, on sale today. :)

    Oh man my favorite day used to be after easter when all the whopper robin eggs would go on sale. I'd buy huge bags of those plus peanut M&Ms and would sit at my desk eating them for days... Ugghhh I cringe just thinking about it now, lol.

    Oh my peanut m&ms. I used to buy the big 10 dollar bag and hang out with my sister doing laundry and spend hours just eating those.

    I would go for anything milk without nuts or fillings. Loved Robin Eggs and any plain chocolate. Now 70% is mostly too sweet for me. I can't fathom eating it - would probably generate instant-migraines for me. LOL

    I know amazing the stuff I used to shove in my face and never feel full. Now I do mostly 75% - 80% to make chocolates and only have one or two when I feel like it.

    SO MUCH THIS ^^^. I still have binge tendencies, but I can see them as more of an emotional thing than an actual legit hunger thing, which is how it always seemed before.

    I love shocking the he!l out of people when I tell them that the pizza toppings fill me up more than eating it with the crust. LOL

    Oh goodness I used to keep a stash of chocolate in my closet that I still haven't confessed to my family about! At Easter it was the robin eggs, Halloween was peanut butter kisses and white chocolate kit kats, Christmas was those toy soldier shaped Snickers, Valentine's was a free for all on chocolate! It is nauseating to think of what I used to do to myself!

    Haha yes! DH did buy me the 86% but it wasn't with the Valentine candies so I knew it wouldn't go on sale.

    No , you rarely see the good stuff on sale, but when I do, I might only get one extra bar. It lasts a long time for me, so there's no need to stock up too much. I can control myself when eating it. I buy only organic fair trade dark chocolate, so I don't even mind spending full price, since It's the best and I don't need much to be satisfied.

    I can't stand the crappy stuff. It holds no appeal to me, no matter what it costs.
