Dilemma... Chocolate, amongst other things, has been given up for Lent.
However, today is one of those days, when nothing but chocolate will do. It happens maybe once every three/four months or so, and occasionally on a monthly basis...
Does this count as a medical emergency?
If I have some chocolate now, it will prevent me from dreaming of chocolate all day and getting seriously distracted from the many things on the job list. I can start again on the giving it up basis tomorrow!! I have maintained everything else (I have given up chocolate, cake, sweets, biscuits, crisps and proper puddings.)
If I don't have any, the likely chances of going overboard later in the day are much higher, and the damage will be much worse. Both in terms of quantity of chocolate consumption, and guilt factor at going overboard.
If I manage to resist completely, will I be 'orribly self-righteous about it? Even if just to myself?
Mmmm... it will also assist the letter writing. I am contemplating writing a Real Letter, in my own fair hand, which is proving somewhat difficult. The letter, not the physical writing thereof. Though, I'm not as in practice with that as I used to be!
I think I'll try the toast and banana option first, and see how the chocolate cravings are going by lunch time...
