After a stressful day, our tendency is to reward ourselves with a treat,
most often, a gooey chocolate dessert. The problem is, once you’ve
stopped thinking “I deserve this, I must have it,” the guilt sets in and
start counting calories and sugar, thinking “Why did I do that?” Then,
not only are you stressed out by your long day, but also by the reward
that was supposed to make it better!
It’s time to stop the stress cycle for good. Here are two great ways to indulge in chocolate without the guilt:
1. Choose wisely. First, there is a difference between a cheap chocolate
cookie and a good quality dark chocolate. Picking an organic,
fair-trade chocolate that is at least 60% cacao ensures you will get the
great benefits in cacao (read on to learn what they are!) with the
least amount of sugar and chemicals.
2. Let it melt in your mouth. Through amazing chocolate engineering,
healthy fats in cocoa butter melt at about 90-93 degrees, a.k.a. the
melt-in-your-mouth temperature. Not only do healthy fats help you feel
satiated and contribute to better skin and hair, but letting the
chocolate melt in your mouth can create a sort of mindful meditation and
increase your feelings of well-being and satisfaction.

I talk about Craftsy all the time and with good reason. I love to find new crochet patterns there (many free) as well as list mine there. But it's not only a pattern place, it's an all around craft site.
