u  know that  have a problem ± a big problem. t may sound funny but it¶s very
bad for me ± for my health and for my life. What¶s the problem?  can¶t stop eating
chocolate!

  started eating chocolate as a child of course;  and my sisters all ate a lot of
different kinds of chocolate. However, my sisters and  are adults now and ¶m the
only one who still eats it a lot. My elder sister can have a bar of a
r and make
it last a week. My younger sister is happy with one box of chocolates a year for
Mother¶s Day. My parents don¶t eat any chocolate at all. Me ±  need it every day,
and lots of it too.

ao, how much do  eat? Well,  have about 10 bars of chocolate a day. My first
bar is at 8 o¶clock in the morning, and then  have my last one just before  go to
bed. aometimes if there¶s no chocolate in the house
 drive to the nearest shop that sells it (about 2
kilometers away) and buy some more.  even drive
out late at night if  need some chocolate. f the
children (and this is terrible,  know) have chocolate
in the house  take it. When aarah was eight
someone gave her a box of chocolates for her
birthday.  took the box and then, when she was out playing,  ate some. Then  ate
some more.  finished the whole box! A few days later she said, ³Where¶s my box
of chocolates?´ and  said, ³ don¶t know´.  know that was very bad. At Christmas
we got a giant family-sized bag of chocolate sweets,  ate the whole bag on my
own in two days!

Ô know eating a lot of chocolate is bad for my health. There¶s a lot of sugar in all
types of chocolate. There¶s also a lot of fat.  think that¶s why  have many spots on
my face, and ¶m a little overweight too. aometimes  try to stop but if  don¶t have
any,  get very bad headaches. However, as soon as  have some chocolate  feel
better and happier too.  know that it¶s also very bad to take and eat chocolate
that¶s not mine but  can¶t stop myself.

' What can  do? Even at night  dream about chocolate. My favorite dream is
falling down a hole and landing on a big pile of chocolate bars!  really do want to
stop, or start to eat less. At the supermarket there¶s always chocolate for sale while
 wait to pay for my shopping. At the station (bus, train, underground«) there¶s
always chocolate for sale in machines. Everywhere  look there¶s chocolate for
sale!  try to speak to my family but nobody understands. They all like chocolate but
nobody wants to eat 10 bars a day, and nobody understands why  do.

  need help! Please tell me what  can do to stop eating chocolate!
