Chocolate Variety is the Sweetness of Life or the Loss of Self-Esteem?

Tweet

I've become a jaded chocolate consumer over the years, and it has gotten expensive. Once I was on my own, I indulged myself in eating things that used to be treats frequently--I'm lucky not be very heavy yet, but I'm still in my twenties, and it's something I worry about for the future. It's gotten more expensive to have the chocolate addiction I do, because while I used to indulge with regular candy bars, the appeal wore off with overconsumption. I started eating Lindt chocolates, Russel Stover, Whitman's, and other more expensive brands. Let me stress again how lucky I am not to be unhealthily overweight yet--at twenty-seven I no longer have the "eat anything you want" metabolism that I did a few years ago. Who else out there is a compulsive junk-food over-eater? Is there anyone who started to gain weight and then managed to have the self-discipline to overcome the habit?
