Let me preface by saying I am 100% a chocolate diva at heart. I love chocolate. I don’t know about you, but some of my favorite candies and foods growing up and currently have revolved around chocolate. Here’s my Top 10 List of Chocolate candies of All Time in no particualar order

1. Recees Peanut Butter Cups
2. Twix
3. Snickers
4. Kit Kats
5. M&M’s (w/peanuts)
6. Caramello
7. Milky Way
8. Nestle Crunch Bar/Bites
9. Lindt Truffles
10. Nutella (Because you can’t just eat one serving at a time)

What do they all have in common? Chocolate. Oreos are awesome, and they are half chocolate. Brownies, cake, ice cream, the list could just keep going and even add in these loves I had tried and devoured.

Last night I opened my refrigerator looking for a little midnight snack and was greeted to this sight.

The snickers were so tempting. It was nearly an entire bag of mini snickers too. They are delicious and damn did they look even better because I had a craving. But I knew that eating them wouldn't bring me closer to my fitness goals. I've committed to living a healthy lifestyle and for these snickers to go up in my mouth on a Tuesday, at midnight, wouldn't have been smart.

However, that orange looks beautiful too. I mean, the color is just so vibrant that it sticks out in the picture. You can just tell that it’s a very fresh, juicy, and attractive fruit. Obviously it’s the healthier choice. All it takes is a little discipline and self control to acknowledge how great the snickers are, but to understand that the orange is just as great and even better for you. It will love you longer than the snickers will because of the effects on your health. There are snickers everywhere but how many times can you say you've seen an orange look that good? Can you tell where I’m going with this yet?

It’s so easy to cheat in anything, especially when no one else is around to notice. One may ask in that case, then is it really cheating if nobody knows about it? My answer to that is, YES. That’s the worst type because deep down in your conscience, in your soul, you know what you did. Now you’re forced to live with it, but if you’re an unreasonably good person, which I’m sure many if not all of you are, this will only make you feel sick to your stomach.

I love chocolate just as much as the next person, if not more. But I know I’m married to my health and if forced to pick between the two, I’ll always choose the healthier option. Every time this has happened I've felt even better about myself, and my body keeps thanking me by how I feel each day.

While eating the orange I thought to myself that if you treat your body like how you would treat the female who is the love of your life, it will reward you with the lovely gift of health. If you cheat on it, only bad things can come of it in the future.

There are 7 Billion people in this world. If you happen to meet someone who makes you feel alive, treats you with love and loyalty, and makes you a better person, why not keep them around for a while. There will always be sexy bags of snickers everywhere, but it’s the fruits we appreciate most because of how rare they are to find.

And yes, I totally just compared women to snickers and fruits. Please don’t take this out of context, because the same can be said for men.
