I used to have a crazy chocolate addiction. When I was 18, I started working across from a Godiva store in a mall. I quickly became their best customer buying about 5 times a week. I started off eating truffles, etc, but later on I would just buy their dark chocolate demitasse and never any milk choc or choc w/ fillings.
One day my sister happened to see all of the Godiva boxes in my room and a bunch of receipts on the dresser. She added them up. That's when I realised that I was spending about 35% of my weekly income on Godiva.
A few years later I moved out of my parents house and had to pay all of my own bills. Needless to say, Godiva went from necessity to treat very quickly!
Years later, while I was at the grocery store and checking out w/ my favorite cashier. Ss she was ringing up bags of chocolate, she said, "I don't know how you stay so thin buying so much chocolate every time you're here."
I replied, "Are you kidding me?! I work out hard so I can eat all this chocolate! I also make sure to eat it early in the day so I have all day to burn it off."
