No....Not the Chocolate!

It is official.
I am allergic to Chocolate.






Did you get it out yet? The gasp? Because if not....do it now.


:)
Yes, I have been official realizing I am allergic to CHOCOLATE.

Here's the scoop.
For many years, I have gotten random rashes. TMI? Promise. Nothing gross. Promise. Anyways, a few months ago I was working at a chocolate shop and eating chocolate everyday. Which meant I always had some kind of little rash lol. Promise. Once again, nothing gross. So Jason thought it could be the chocolate, but I refused to believe that one of my most favorite things to eat would be unkind to my body. Hence, the ignoring began.

Then, I ran out of chocolate. And made some yummy fruity summer cake, and ate cookies without chocolate, and rice crispies. Of course not all at one time. This is over a span of a few weeks.

Then, I induged. I had some chocolate for my birthday. Well, ok...a LOT. And I was a mess! Itchy itchy and frustrated! After thirty minutes of the yummy stuff, I broke out with some random rashes on my face...arm....leg....And I was itchy! Promise. Nothing gross.

So, it was confirmed. I am allerigic to chocolate. It's the only thing I will eat regularly, and then get hives or whatever you would call this annoyingness.

Then last night, I enjoyed baking with a wonderful neighbor Carolyn (who by the way made me a yummy vanilla latte and brought it upstairs things morning at 7:30. Wonderful? Yes. :) and we made healthy choc cupcakes, and choc oatmeal cookies.

And it happened again. Even woke up in the night needing to take allergy meds.

:( I am sad to say, this runs in the family, so it's legit.

So goodbye my favorite dessert, favorite snack, favorite breakfast lunch and dinner.

I will now only eat you once a week:)

Hope you have a blessed day!
