Cold Weather and Chocolate

I love sweets. I love sweets a lot. Ice cream, cake, candy, baked goods… whether European, Canadian, Chinese… there are very few sugar-infused edible objects that I don’t like.

I’m not crazy about sweet pea dessert soup. It’s okay, but it’s weird that it is warm.

But most of my consumption of sweets takes place in the summer, and most of it is ice cream. By volume and by calorie. As the weather turns cooler, I’m just not as interested in eating sweet stuff… I mean, I still will, but the desire is much reduced.

So as the temperatures dip below freezing here, I am realizing that I’ve probably finished with the main sweets consumption portion of the year for me. Not a complaint or anything, just a realization…

Also, as an aside, I really hate the cold. I wonder if this is a contributing factor to why I dislike when it gets so cold? My body craves the sugar, but my brain just isn’t interested as long as it’s freezing out?

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
