I Guess I'll Have to Eat My Words

Tweet

When I got the food allergy testing a couple of months ago, I was hoping really hard that I'd be allergic to chocolate since it's an out-of-control addiction that I have. If I were allergic to chocolate, so I thought, then I couldn't eat it anymore and that problem would go away. Then I got the allergy test results and chocolate (cacao) was not one of them, nor was milk, even though I already knew I had a lactose intolerance with milk items. Fast forward and my allergic reactions are coming fast and furious to things I wasn't allergic to before, . . . INCLUDING CHOCOLATE! Well, it's the milk in chocolate I think. It's turned from an intolerance (digestive) into an allergy (reaction) with red itchy tingling mouth and face. Now, you'd think that would have answered my hopes, right? Well, stupid me still can't stop eating the chocolate even though it's hurting me. I'll eat it and then suffer and have to take a benadryl. I'm hoping I'll wise up by the end of this weekend and QUIT CHOCOLATE!
