Red heart shape wrapped in crinkly clear cellophane
A sweet, kid-drawn heartfelt note of gratitude attached
Hints of chocolate wafting from inside the heart
Look away, look away, be strong
Calling, oh so calling to my weakness for creamy chocolate goodness
Why, oh why did I pick now to start a better eating lifestyle
Well maybe, just maybe a little cheat won’t hurt
Challenging days do need to be rewarded, right?
Surely, I can make up for it tomorrow.

Chocolate is a hard one to resist especially on a challenging day. I can hear that crinkly cellophane and picture that heart shaped box.

I can relate to this on so many levels. I love sweets and I SWEAR they call my name! If I am in the vicinity of something sweet, I have to have it right then! Thanks for sharing this story!
