Is three bars of Snickers a lot of chocolate for a week?

Tuesday, March 03, 2009

I happen to pop by Guardian with a colleague today and discovered that their big sales had just begun. There were several items that were really great buys, but since I'm a little more disciplined when it comes to shopping these days, I only bought my necessities. Actually, I only bought 2 items - my little boy's Eubos Cream Bath Oil and some chocolates for myself.

You see, whenever I'm stressed, I feast on chocolates. And I've been super stressed at work for a couple of weeks now. So I'm perpetually snacking on chocolates over the weeks. I bought 3 bars of Snickers at Guardian just because they were on promotion and it was easy for me to reach for a pack of them while queueing up to pay at the cashier's counter.

My colleague's eyes nearly popped out when she saw me buying the chocolate bars. Because just last week, she was with me when I bought two bars. When I was taking a bite into my first bar this afternoon, she asked me to report to her what my weight is once I'm done with all my chocolates at the end of this week.

I don't have any weighing scale to check, and even if I did, I won't bother using it. Unless of course I'm seriously outgrowing my clothes, then I'd be concerned. But right now, putting on weight by eating too much chocolate really isn't my biggest concern. Sure, I don't want to have to resort to taking weight loss pills to lose weight if I balloon up, but my stress level is just too high for me to think about cutting down on chocolates and not getting fat! :(

Am I really snacking excessively on chocolates? Is there any other better and healthier way for me to snack whenever I am stressed? Anyone, any help?
