chocolates
After a recent decision to go on a diet, I threw out basically everything in my fridge and cabinets and went to the local grocery store (this particular store is known more for its health food) to stock up on healthier foods. When I got to the store, I started to pick out fruit and vegetables to put into my cart and just browse up and down the aisle for anything that I thought looked gross (assuming it would probably be healthy then). After the first few aisles, I ran across an entire aisle devoted to chocolates. I was amazed. Knowing the healthy reputation for this grocery store, I just assumed I wouldn't come across anything besides maybe fruit that I thought was tolerable to eat. And there I was standing in heaven. Both sides of the aisles were covered in chocolates. There were chocolate covered fruits, and different flavored chocolate candy bars. I seriously could not believe my eyes. Now I know why people come here. They're pretending to be eating healthy but underneath all of the health food in their carts in a mound of chocolates. I had never seen so much chocolate in one place in my whole life. There were lava cakes and s'more desserts. Then I saw the sign above saying that it was made differently and that the chocolates were good for you. Could that be possible? It seriously had to be some kind of a joke. There is no way that I could walk out of this health food store with a ton of chocolate. So I went back to the fruit aisle and as I was walking I noticed more now than before that there seemed to be more people in the chocolate aisle than everywhere else in the store combined. Or maybe it was just me fixating on it. This diet thing is going to be really hard. It had only been 20 minutes into it and I had already been tempted to give up. So I went around the store, avoiding the chocolate aisle and filled my cart up with more fruits and vegetables and light drinks, a ton of bottles water (I had recently given up coke) and snacks like peanuts and wheat thins. Finally as I was about to get into the checkout line, I decided to go back to chocolate heaven. I looked around and picked out a few small treats. I figured I could use these to reward myself at the end of the week for staying on track with my diet. And anyways, if its chocolate covered strawberries, isn't it like eating fruit?
