What is Chocolate and Beyond?

If you’ve stumbled across this site you may be thinking “Wow, something devoted to chocolate!” or you may be wondering if it’s about giving up chocolate. Neither is true. Although the freedom to eat chocolate is truly part of the philosophy, but there's more to life than chocolate, such as curry.

Chocolate and Beyond is a personal journey. It’s my attempt to seek a life that no longer revolves around the control of food or dieting.

Like many women, and some men, I’m fed up of having my daily thoughts strangled and subdued with thinking about what time I can next eat, planning out meals, considering calorie content, counting fat grams, and thinking about the foods I should or shouldn’t eat. I remember a time in my life when it was from the moment I woke to the moment I got in bed (whether my tummy was rumbling or whether I was groaning at its fullness).
