Ten Excuses to Indulge in Chocolate When you have Diabetes.

Guest List.

Thank you V——.

1. Special occasions—I'm on holidays.
2. One little piece won't hurt. [Little is a word with large parameters.]
3. It tastes so good—it didn't taste this good when I didn't have diabetes.
4. I'm feeling a little blue.
5. It's 'overseas' chocolate. We don't have this at home. If I don't try it now, I'll never get another chance.
6. It looks like it has a beautiful texture.
7. It's dark chocolate. Antioxidants. It's actually good for you. Do you want me to take copious amounts of pills to get the same good effect. I don't think so.
8. I was going to go for a really long walk straight afterwards.
9. It has peanut butter in it. If I don't buy it—and eat it—then no one will. They'll go out of business. How could I live with that on my conscience.
10. Charlie won't eat it vicariously for me. Keeps going on about how she's turning into a fatty-boom-bah.
