Chocolate is my kryptonite

I do have my indulgences ya know … it’s chocolate!

On a daily basis I’m on a strict diet, five small meals a day, blah, bla, bla. Well it takes a lot of willpower to resist the Ice Creams, Mee Soto Ayam, Chilli Crabs and such; some of my favorite food there. Mentioning them just makes my mouth waters, yummmy!

Why am I doing this, to a certain extent ‘tormenting’ myself from great indulges, well firstly I want to lead a healthy lifestyle, secondly I’m not genetically predisposed with great genes, so to be lean and ripped which is my aim at the end of they, I need to put in extra effort than anyone else

But every time I take a look at some chocolate, may it be Nutella, Van Houten bar, I would succumb to it. Well not always but more likely if I were to be around it or people tempting me, I would. The next day I’ll then punish myself with a grueling workout for ‘I have sin’, wahahaha

The other day, of all the time to have a craving for chocolate, I was out on the track running, the thought of munching on KitKat chocolate just popped into my mind. My whole workout was fixated on the KitKat. So after training, I rushed to Sheng Shiong, in my tights and singlet, despite the stares, I got myself the KitKit. Hmmm it never taste so good, melt in my mouth, not in my hands

At times my craving can be so ‘mafan’ (troublesome). The other day I was so intent on getting some chocolate bar, I grabbed the wrong chocolate bar. It was those bitter dark chocolate. Bleah hate it man. I know girls like bitter ones right, well I don’t. This uncle prefer those sweet ones, just like him … lame dot com right haha

And on another occasion, I went to Sheng Shiong, being frugal, I bought a no-brand chocolate bar, thinking I got myself a great deal. To my horror it taste like soap bar. Yes I have tasted soap before. And it was in the middle of the night, the craving got to me, so I immediately went back to get myself the right purchase. Moral of the story, if getting chocolate, get a good one, even if its pricier!

Hmmm writing this entry is making me salivating wanting some chocolate. Looks like another craving

How about you, do you have cravings too …

    Haha, I like chocolate, but I don’t kena cravings until like that… If I don’t have chocolate/whatever at home than too bad, I’ll just wait until I go out the next day.

    And hey, dark chocolate is better! You actually get to taste the chocolate instead of milk/sugar. Don’t you think it’s a more mature taste? Hahaha…

    Well it depends on what kind of chocolates you eat. If you eat the premium kinds they have almost non-fat ingredients unlike the ones you find in supermarkets.

    And its healthy ah!! Chocolates have great anti-oxidants which can help you look young..heh

    Its pretty costly but trust me you wont go fat with it. The problem with premium chocolates is that it melts fast cos it does not have preservatives.

    I worked for Gold Chocs before so I was educated about it.
