Does eating chocolate beget chocolate cravings?

I think it does. I rarely, RARELY eat candy, but it’s not like I hate it so if it’s there….well, I came across a sack of Easter candy that the Bunny forgot to give my grandkids. I kept telling myself that I hate the kind of candy she chose (miniature Baby Ruth, Nestle Crunch, Butterfingers)—but it’s a lie. The damn Rabbit ALWAYS brings MY favorite candy. Never mind what the kids want. Stupid Rabbit.

So…I took it to work hoping it would get gone quickly. It didn’t, and I was, of course, snacking on it. I finally sent out an SOS to a coworker in another building, and she said she’d take it off my hands (I wonder what she’s going to think when she finds the plastic grocery bag tied in 30 knots, stapled AND taped…) Anyway, that was yesterday.

Then today, I’m sitting here minding my own business when I suddenly HAD to have chocolate! HAD to. I actually went to the store specifically to buy a candy bar.

I’ve noticed this in the past. If I eat chocolate one day, the next day I get almost overwhelming cravings for it! Is this all in my head (or should I say in my tummy, now…)?
