I nearly killed myself yesterday. Or rather, I wished I were dead. I ate too much chocolate. It didn’t seem excessive (by my admittedly warped standards) – about 4 Quality Street, 2 Celebrations – and then in an effort to keep myself off illegal milk chocolatey stuff (which, weirdly, made my teeth hurt) - 2 x 80% pralines (disgusting. 1st one - oh, how odd I don't like this. 2nd - of course I like it, it's chocolate. No, I really, really don't) and 100g of 70% orange chocolate. I felt so ill I didn’t know what to do with myself. I had a coffee, then a tea. Then I went home and had water. But I still felt incredibly sick. I was simultaneously hungry and sick. Bf had a piece of chocolate log (I LOVE chocolate log); I felt intensely nauseous. I looked at some Godiva chocolate inadvertently; I felt sick. I couldn't bear to open my advent calendar for fear of the small chocolates lying behind the doors. I went to bed at 11pm, still feeling really sick.
As Scarlett pointed out, today is another day. I don’t feel sick (I have laryngitis and a chest virus which make me dizzy, hoarse and headachy – as well as having a fetching deadman’s rattle of a cough - but will take it over feeling sick). In fact, I am feeling quite interested in chocolate again. I sincerely hope I’ve learnt my lesson about sugar overload but I wouldn’t place money on it..

Oy, the food hangover! Happens much faster than a drink hangover, I find. Wouldn't it be great if the aversion phase of such hangovers lasted for weeks? Like an inoculation or a tetanus booster or something. Then we could all have a day of eating ourselves sick on a certain thing, say chocolate, and then be unable to touch it again without intense revulsion for weeks and weeks. Maybe you should eat chocolate while BF administers torture-level electric shocks? Isn't that how aversion therapy works in lab mice? In any case, hope your chocolate hangover keeps you off the sweets for the holidays!
Aaah, poor you. I hate that feeling 'cos it usually accompanied by annoyance with myself. Strange how I seldom feel the same when I drunk too much!
Also a shame that the aversion doesn't last very long.
Have a wonderful, healthy and happy Christmas hon and love to bf too.
