Chocolate Love Addiction

After I lost my Dog, Starlit and after I lost my fiance, chocolate just seemed to be on my mind constantly. In fact, there was a bout a week or so that I spent eating chocolate constantly! I gained nearly 15 lbs! Yikes!

Well, it turns out that when you are in love, your bran releases a chemical called phenylethylamine, which is similar to amphetamine (highly pleasurable, highly addictive). When you loose someone you are in love with, you go through a major withdrawl phase! Talk about a crash!

In response to the withdrawls, your body looks for ways to get your phenylethylamine high back... one of those ways is chocolate (which contains amounts of phenylethylamine).

If you're love has been lost, maybe this knowledge will prevent you from reaching for the oh so amazing sweet stuff and you'll find your phenylethylamine kick else where :-P
