Here's a few hints to help you watch those pounds this Christmas.

1. Tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal - It'll take the edge off your
appetite.

2. If you eat equal amounts of dark and white chocolate, that's a balanced
diet.

3. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

4. Put 'eat chocolate' at the top of your list of things to do today. That
way at least you'll get one thing right.

5. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories
in one place. Now isn't that handy?

6. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all
count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

7. Two reasons why chocolate is a vegetable.
(a) Chocolate is derived from beans. Beans = vegetable
( Sugar is derived from either Cane of Beet. Both are plants, which
places them in the vegetable category

8. If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control pantyhose. An
entire garment industry would be devastated.

9. REMEMBER: "Stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts".
