About twenty years ago, thanks to a stint in Weight Watchers, I lost my taste for potato chips/crisps. I still remembered how much I had enjoyed them, but when I actually ate one... meh.
About ten years ago, I started losing my taste for candy bars. I could remember when a Snickers bar had been the perfect pick-me-up, but when I reached for one.... meh.
In the past few years, that mehness has spread even to the better levels of chocolate, Green & Black, etc. I have a craving, and I walk down to the grocery and stand in front of the display, and I think.... that's not what I want.
It's like when you've ended a relationship - you look at your ex and you think "yes, I remember when that was what I wanted, and it still looks good, but.... no interest at all. Huh."
I think I had a point here somewhere, but mainly it's just that I really want chocolate but there doesn't seem to be anything within reach that's the right kind of chocolate. Mrrrmph.
I foresee a trip to La Maison du Chocolat this weekend...
Has this happened to any of you?
[on the plus side, this does make it easier for me to keep my eating habits healthy...and means when I do indulge, I can do so wholeheartedly. That is a definite plus... except for right now, when I am sans eatable chocolate. Moop.]
