- Giving up chocolate is such a big deal to you that you write a blog post about it.
- Giving up chocolate is such a big deal that you write a SERIES of blog posts about it.
- One of those posts is titled ‘A true chocoholic can justify any chocolate purchase‘ (a sentiment I stand by).
- You write a status update about sneaking chocolate before breakfast, and are genuinely surprised when your friends tell you that they can’t believe you did it.
- If you open something chocolate, you have to finish it. No matter how big it is.
I might draw the line at 10kg. Or I might not… |
- You think chocolate should have its own section in the food pyramid…
- … across the bottom. OBVIOUSLY.

- Better yet, you think the entire food pyramid should be chocolate.

- You were supposed to write a post with five signs that you’re a chocoholic, but you’re such a chocoholic you thought of nine signs without even trying too hard.
Are you a chocoholic? What other signs could appear on this list?
Surely Sarah says
9 reasons without even trying! Now that is a true believer. I once read we are biologically hardwired to crave what is not good for us – perhaps that explains our obsession with the humble cocoa bean!
Emily says
I’ve thought of so many more things since writing this! Am also on my tenth piece of peppermint choc slice for the morning, so keeping in theme!
Debbish says
Oh yes, I LOVE my chocolate. Bizarrely I’ve inherited a strange nuance from my mum in that I don’t like chocolate-flavoured things (cake, milkshakes, ice cream etc). I just like the real thing!!!! (PS. I previously left a comment but think it disappeared!) π (Blogger hates me!)
Emily says
Sorry your comment disappeared! If it looked like chocolate, maybe I ate it.
That’s not so odd – I can’t handle choc-flavoured spirits. Baileys, Kahlua and the like make me gag.
Kate says
This post is just perfect timing for me. As the only adult in the house at the moment, I’m a little concerned that the Cadbury Dairy Milk block in the fridge only has two little squares left. I only bought it two days ago… and cannot blame the kids as they don’t know it is there. Alarming, really, as how the hell is two squares going to get me through tonight?
Emily says
Chocolate in our house never has two little squares left. They would have gone along with the rest of the block!
Mumabulous says
Just munching on some Lindt 85% as I read.
Emily says
Oh wow. 85% is too strong for me. Perhaps not such a chocoholic after all!
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
Oh man oh man it’s just so addictive and while I know Mumabs thinks she’s eating real chocolate it’s got FAR too much cocoa content to be the dirty, big addictive chocolate that I smash back! Sometimes I inhale a bar and then blame the husband for it without even knowing!!! Thanks for linking – mmm chocolate x
Emily says
Agreed. It’s got to have as much milk and sugar as cocoa in my world.
Jodi Gibson says
Ticking all the boxes here. I know I’m a chocoholic when I don’t eat it for three days and end up with horrible headaches. Fixed by a block of chocolate of course.
Emily says
You didn’t eat it for three days? So no a chocoholic. Boom tish. x
Ness says
I’m attempting to cure myself of chocolate addiction but it’s HARD. Agree with all of the above.
Emily says
I’m attempting to understand why you’re attempting to cure yourself of your chocolate addiction. (Not really. I’ve tried. And succeeded for six months. Then dived SPECTACULARLY back into excessive chocolate consumption.)
FiveFrogsBlog says
I am immune. I know. I’m a freak!
Emily says
You need to be studied by scientists. (She says with love.)
Renee Wilson says
I used to be a chocoholic big time!! It’s so hard to break the habit. I’m with you as well, once it’s opened, you have to finish it. As my husband says, the more you eat, the more you get π
Emily says
Cold turkey is the only way to break the habit! For me. And temporarily, clearly.
Jhanis V. says
That is the best food pyramid ever! That should be incorporated in all health subjects! LOL
Emily says
Absolutely!
