Jeni Gets Fat on Chocolate

Thinking about my complete lack of willpower when I am at my mother's house, I thought I'd read over my nutrition journal. This paragraph that I wrote almost two years ago captures my present distress:

I want, more than anything, to see a snickers candy bar and think no more about it than if it were a banana. I don't like bananas, and I could have dozens in my house and not be tempted to eat one. I regularly peel and cut them for my daughter, but I never lick my fingers. Why can't chocolate taste like bananas? But they don't, and I must master this desire.

I may get desperate and begin my 8 Thing-A-Day Diet.
