Why do I need chocolate when I am under stress? I got some concerning news regarding the health of someone close to me today and immediately felt the need for chocolate and ate a couple of squares. I then realised that I would eat the whole bar if I wasn't careful. The chocolate was my husbands which he bought to test whether he had a chocolate allergy (he found out that he definitely does before he ate the chocolate so it was just sitting in the fridge). I have a sugar intolerance so should not eat it, but when I got this news I had some because I felt I desperately needed it. When I went to get my third piece I realised that I was beings silly and if anything, the news that I had should have made me want to be even more healthy. I unwrapped it and chucked it in the bin and had some veggie sticks and houmous instead. I do wish that I didn't run to food when I was stressed, I wonder why I do?

Why do we run for chocolate? maybe because our bodies are telling us that it gives us the mood-lifting effect whenever we're depressed.
