I’m about to share something weird about myself. You Jellies are my Fluther Family, so I feel safe here. Be gentle with me, please…
I haven’t eaten chocolate since October 27, 2004, when the Red Sox won the World Series.
All my life, I’d been a Class A chocoholic, eating the stuff every day. When I was a child, I always asked for chocolate birthday cake, with chocolate frosting, and with chocolate ice cream. You get the picture…
I said, for years, that if the Red Sox ever won the World Series, I’d give up chocolate forever. When they did so, I said, “Oops…now I have to do this thing!” I did, and I’ve never broken the promise.
(The truth is, I’m happy with what I did. Just think of the millions of calories I haven’t consumed during the past 16 years!)
