Back to the gym today. Been having a serious sweets craving and went into the chocolate shop in town after the gym. They usually have a display case where you can buy a single piece of chocolate. But I was told they don't do that any more. The clerk suggested I get one of the small bags of chocolate and just eat one at a time. She doesn't know me! Instead of saying 'no thanks' I bought a small packet of dark chocolate covered caramels. Doh!!! That small bag which I ate one after the other was 500 calories!
