Money Minus Noise

Work, money & life

My chocolate habit, and reading the sugar label

People who know me… know my addiction to #Chocolates 🍫
I can literally eat any type of Chocolate, anytime!
About a year back, my wife (rightly) got concerned and said:
👉 “Just check how much sugar you’re consuming.”
Turned out… 50%+ #Sugar. 😅

So I decided to “get healthy” and switched to #DarkChocolate.
Started with #Amul 55% dark
First few days → consumption dropped drastically 🤢
Then → got used to it
Then → back to normal 😄

So I upgraded:
➡️ 75% dark → same story
➡️ Finally 90% dark

Now here’s the interesting part 👇
It’s been more than a month, and more than half of the chocolate is still lying untouched.

Which made me wonder:
👉 Was I addicted to chocolate… or just the sugar in it?

There are multiple similar examples I have observed among friends -
- I play the quiz every day to gain knowledge, but the real driving factor is the prize money
- I love to travel, but the real driving factor is the Likes on #SocialMedia!
