The Return of Chocolate

In any event, that was about all the chocolate I had. I imagined a big chocolate frenzy on Easter but it didn't happen. For one thing, we didn't have chocolate desserts at our friends' house where we went (my family doesn't celebrate Easter because of the Passover overlap). I brought a coconut cake and that satisfied my sweet tooth enough that I didn't have a taste for candy. Imagine that.
And every day since? Nothing. I bought some frozen fudge bars and nary a craving. It's like all that giving up of chocolate made me stop wanting it forever. It no longer seems as important as it once did, like I don't even think about it anymore. Weird, huh?
I have this poor chocolate bunny sitting in my fridge looking very angry (why does this chocolate bunny have such a sullen expression?). Every day I toy with the idea of eating him, but I think I've anthropomorphized him so much that it seems cruel to eat him. That damned chocolate bunny is going to turn me into a vegetarian if I keep thinking about it, so I probably should stop thinking about it and just bite his head off before he becomes a permanent fixture in there with the iced tea and almond milk.
One of my other motives in the whole giving up chocolate thing was that I was hoping it would help me lose some more baby weight. I lost weight, but not anything unusual. I think nursing the baby helps me lose about a pound or so every week or ten days and as I discovered a new appreciation for carrot cake during the almost 40 days without chocolate, I think my weight loss plans were thwarted by cream cheese frosting. Oh well.

I did that with soda- gave it up, and now don't really have much of a craving for it.
I don't think giving in once to chocolate during Lent makes you weak-willed. It happens. Especially when you give up something major.
Eat the bunny! The happy chocolate wants to be eaten!
That poor bunny is sitting there waiting to be eaten - that is it's life's goal. Do not deny the Bunny.
