Quotes to ponder:
"Trying to stay away from it will backfire. Think about it this way: Do apples have power over you? No. You give yourself permission to eat an apple whenever you want. So why does chocolate have power over you? Because you try to not eat it."
"By regularly eating chocolate, it will become a commonplace food, just like eggs, apples, or carrots."
"Even on a weight reduction diet, you should eat what you truly want to eat, including chocolate, in an appropriate portion."
