Sweet Indulgence
Every holiday season, my financial advisor sends out a box of chocolates. As someone who has worked hard to kick the sugar habit after a lifetime of craving sweets, this gift arrives with mixed emotions. My first thought is to stow the chocolates and serve at Christmas dinner as a side dessert for guests. But in the end, I keep it for myself, indulging throughout the holidays. And it feels like a special treat.

Wendy, I have that same relationship with sweets. Now I just save them largely for the weekends or special events like dinner parties.
Except for chocolate >+ 80% cacao–that’s my daily dessert breakfast. Usually I have a square or two of the 88% Endangered Species bar. Dip in a cup of hot coffee and suck on the melty bit.
Meant to say >= 80%
Got it!
It has taken me a long time to break the habit. But like you, I still love chocolate.
Go for it! 80/20, 80 you’re good, 20 enjoy!
Life’s too short to not have chocolate.
