Dear Candy Bowl,

I noticed this morning that you've been refilled by some well-meaning member of my team.

I also noticed that shiny Cadbury Creme Egg sitting there in the midst of all those other naughty treats.

And I walked right past you. Sure, I may have glanced your way for a minute, but don't misread that as a sign of weakness!

I don't need you any more. Yeah, you heard me.

I've moved on, mister. Edamame may not be as flashy as you are, but he's reliable and has always treated me better! I'm better off hanging with him and his friends Almonds, Tuna and Yogurt - they might not always take me for that wild sugar-rush ride, but they're dependable and they don't drag me down! They make me feel better about myself - you never did that for me and you never will.

Goodbye, Candy Bowl. It's been nice knowing you.

I feel sorry for the next silly girl that falls prey to your good looks and fast moves!

Sincerely,

Eye on Onederland

VERY Cute!!! I keep a candy bowl on my desk filled with all different types of chocolate. I have found that if I have it readily available, I couldnt care less about it. Its those days that I have no candy anywhere to be found that I crave it so badly. Its almost like reverse psychology on myself, because I only want the things I cannot have. Since I have candy available, I dont want it.

I wish I had your willpower! chocolate is a major vice for me. But once I get banded, and know that I absolutely can NOT have it anymore, I'll be ok (this is what FINALLY made me quit smoking). I want this surgery more than anything, and once I get it, I won't screw it up for chocolate, fried foods, or even my beloved mexican cuisine....

But you guys keep up the great work! I wish you all the best!

Thanks! I was writing it in my head and thought people here might get a laugh out of it.

I couldn't have chocolate on my desk - it would be gone in no time! One of the things I like about the candy bowl is the accountability - people see me going over there and I feel like all eyes are on me. (A co-worker once teased that I'd eaten "all the chocolate" - that stung!)

Chocolate and I have broken up many times but stupidly I have never been able to resist "his" charms. Every time he calls I go crawling back. I tend to do better if I refuse to let him in the house but this must be an incestuous relationship as my DH and kids have something going with him too and they always let him back in. I hate to admit it but sometimes my need for him is so desperate that we have clandestine rendezvous at the supermarket!

Oh, I'm sure chocolate and I will still have our occasional trysts. My DH can't stay away at all - he's full on addicted!

OMG, will someone PLEASE EAT THAT CADBURY EGG ALREADY!!???

*nibbles almonds*

SUPA COOL !!

Love this!! I too cannot have Mr.chocolate in my house. For me he is very tempting and i am very weak.
