First Indulgence of the Year

Being a girl affords you some luxuries when you’re not feeling well.

Once a month, I think you’re allowed to let loose and indulge in some comfort food. Most of the time, I don’t really care for sweets or desserts or fatty things…but every so often, my body just craves a little “devil.”

So this is my first bite of chocolate and ice cream this year. One chocolate square and 2 scoops of Cookies & Cream…that’s enough. I don’t need any more for today’s serving.

My boyfriend bought this bar and the cocoa content is a little higher than I’d like since I’m more of a 70% cocoa person. Oddly enough, because of the high cocoa content, it’s really difficult to eat  a lot because it’s quite bitter and tangy. You have to savor it and leave in your mouth to melt. It’s quite strange, but after having a piece of the bar in your mouth for some time, it quells the appetite for more.

Leave a little room for an indulgence and you won’t have crazy cravings later. 😛
