Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: Deliciusness in the moment childhood memories and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.

Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny.

Here is my prescription to heal all wounds. Watch the film 'Funny Girl' at least five times eat at least 45 chocolate bars and hang out with all those friends you blew off to hang out with your ex. I truly believe that through a combination of Nutella old pals and Barbra Streisand we can achieve happiness and very probably world peace.

Food is fuel and not a solution to anything other than giving your body nutrients. I love chocolate like the next girl but it's not going to change my situation.

I'm tempted by everything. My husband makes fun of me because every day it's a new food that I love. I have a weakness for butterscotch pudding ice cream in any flavor and dark chocolate although that's one thing I do keep in my house - 70% dark chocolate.

When I want comfort food I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates but especially those. You can eat them and because they're so light you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.

I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.

Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.

Anything is good if it's made of chocolate.

For exercise I now run with my chocolate Lab puppy Oscar.
