Interesting. Sounds like it is worth a try. Where do you find it? Is
it on the regular candy aisle, or with the diet foods?



I've always seen it in the regular candy aisle. I've only had it two or
three times. Once I bought a bag and found myself wanting the whole thing
after a few pieces so I threw it out. I tend toward the small, low carb
candy bars that are already in a single serving size and also sugar free.

That doesn't interest me. When I want chocolate, I'll have it less often
and
get the good stuff. I'll just have less amounts, less often.


If/when I see the Ghiardelli chocolates sold as singles I occasionally
indulge. They don't sell them up here like that which is a darn good thing
because I'd end up going nuts sometimes.

With me, two pieces are quite enough. I make a point to bite each piece in
half and savor each half, letting it slowly melt in my mouth instead of
chewing it up quickly and swallowing it. I keep the bag in one of those
hanging three wire basket sets in the middle basket which hangs over my head
but not quite out of my reach. So I have to make a bit of an effort to get
to it. It makes me think about my consumption of the goody. I don't even
have it everyday but when I need a fix, it's there.

You come across as a very bitter person where Dr. Phil is concerned.
How can you condemn a person that's helping so many people? The last
time I looked this was a support group. You make it very unpleasant.
Goodbye.

*PLONK*

Well you won't be reading this but you really should plonk the guy that
posted the page of all his references to Dr. Phil and his predictions
of what Dr. Phil would come up with.

I don't resent Phil McGraw any more than all the others who have tried
to capitilize on we poor souls that struggle a lifetime with obesity.

I think ASD even though, the advice varies widely, is more of a help to
me because all those diet guys seem to ride on waves of trends. At
least on ASD we have a dialogue and analyze our objections or support
of each others ideas. We clear up misconceptions, give encouragement
and tell the truth as we see it. And all for just the monthly ISP fee,
plus we get to use our computers for a variety of other things.

I don't think Dr. Phil beats little children or deals drugs. He just
doesn't capture my interest. Maybe it's a question of "style."

Now I saw Dr, Atkins on TV several times and although he was no
fireball personality wise, he knew his stuff and I respected that.
I don't say that because I am a follower of the Atkins Diet because I
am not on it. But being here since 1996 I've seen many great results
and really enjoyed periodic visits to alt. support.diet.low-carb.

As to being bitter, I may be a critical person, but certainly not
bitter. My only regret is not having lost the weight earlier in life to
have enjoyed the benefits longer.

I'm glad you plonked me if I irritate you as people should seek
pleasure, not annoyance if they want to get ahead with things.

That's exactly what I do. I joined up at Costco last year and some of the
things that *are* cheaper there (not everything is, I've found) are big
packages of chicken breasts and fish.

IN the past I did that, but I had a freezer I could use. I would buy
my favorite fish, wrap each fillet in a peice of wax paper, then put
them in a larger ziplock bag. I could eaily take them out one at a
time to thaw and cook.

I should be able to get the freezer on Thursday or Friday. Then one
more paycheck to start filling it up.

Tonia said this so well !! with needing to really THINK about the choc.
plus savering every bite is a way of being 'in control' and responcible!
I also 'need' a little 'fix' but I don't do this until I need it badly!
Also with SF ice cream which I S-L-O-W-L-Y eat from measured amount. I
am IN CONTROL and I WANT my control. Choc CAN be a dangerous food (for
me) so I am sure to deeply think about each bite! UMMMM LUV that choc!
