When Chocolate Feels Like a Secret

Every night, I tell myself I’ll skip the chocolate. Every night, I don’t. I eat my eggs, my vegetables, drink the water—check all the boxes. But then I open the cupboard, and it’s like I’m on autopilot, breaking off piece after piece, not even tasting the last one before the next is in my mouth. I haven’t gained weight. The scale says I’m fine. But I still feel like I’m hiding something—like the chocolate is proof I’m not as in control as I look. I wonder if anyone else eats with this quiet, constant guilt. If anyone else feels like a fraud for being “healthy” but needing sugar to get through the day. #FoodGuilt #ControlIsExhausting #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet
