Much less sweet, of course
No sunshine or after noon boost for work. Chocolate rules!!
It would be like living without color. Everything would be dull, grey, and wistful.

can't live without chocolate
My life would be so bitter without CHOCOLATE!
My life would be horrendous without chocolate! I eat some most every day and it's a wonder I don't weigh more than I do! I'm actually quite thin and chocolate is good for you, right? So I'm making it a daily requirement!
More stressful/tense since, y'know, chocolate releases those oh-so-relaxing hormones.
boring. chocolate is the only love that you can find in a pocketbook.

A life without chocolate would be bitter!
Quite sad actually. Nothing to fill my cravings and no delightful surprises. No savoring chocolate melting in my mouth and enjoying every moment. Quite sad.
Thanks so much for this great contest.
life without chocolate? Not as sweet!

Less sweet and...fattening (who cares, right? ~lol~). :-)

Without chocolate I would have gone off the deep end by now!
I'd be a very hard person to live with. I need my chocolate!!
My life, um, I mean my food, would be bland, and I'd probably be a lot thinner. Thanks for the offer!
it would be like drinking Postum instead of coffee. I shudder to even think of such things!

My life would be so not fun. I have tried to live without chocolate in the past, i was not fun to live with- ask my husband. Please let me win....
Thanks so much,

i could really handle some chocolate right about now guys
depressing and boring
not nearly as decadent, and i would be one skinny girl
Life without chocolate? Surely you jest? You cant be serious! Not only is chocolate its own food group, it is the world's best band-aid. Friends may let you down, boys may crush your heart, but chocolate is always there to comfort you and make you feel better. Chocolate heals all wounds.

I would have to drink a lot more coffee.
Death without chocolate.
Life without choclate would be pretty dull.I would have to take up smoking crack(bad joke)
My life would be very pathetic, no chocolate to dream about, how sad.
paryjeja at sbcglobal dot net
Depressing!
A life without chocolate would leave one wondering what was in the heart shaped boxes and who Godiva is.
Umm... not worth living?
Chocolate, for me, is a well-deserved treat, after a long day of work, or a hard day of unexpected casualty. It lifts my spirits, cheers me up and makes me smile. I'd be a whole lot more sour without the taste of very fine, creamy, sweet and smooth chocolate
bgcchs@yahoo.com
What a fudgeless life I would have!
Very tiring without my pick me up
A life without chocolate is like a day without dreams!
hi_joan_elliott(at)hotmail(dot)com
It would be pure misery
No sweetness
A lot less enjoyable.
It would be a personal hell that even Dante could not describe.
There would be no anticipation of the warm feeling I get while I am enjoying fine chocolate.
life without chocolate?! inconceivable!! is this life run by republicans? well, it would certainly be very tasteless...
timgus at cox dot net
Very vanilla.
very very boring
No fun, no flavor, no enjoyment. Very very boring. Thanks.

My life would be a sad and lonely place. Hehe.

without chocolate, my life would be a lot more stressful. i have a secret stash that i grab a little piece from when they kids are driving me crazy!
My life without chocolate would be unbearable. I am a chocoholic and proud of it :)
Without chocolate, life would be much more empty. Although other treats are good, nothing can match chocolate!
clynsg at yahoo.com
An empty shell. No nougat, no peanuts, or crisp cookie center that compliment the choc so favorably.
Whew! Impossible, that's what my life would be like.
I could imagine.
I could not live without my chocolate. I would be a very sad girl. Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
I'd be a lot thinner without chocolate :-)
Wow. That would be rough. To live without chocolate would be a simply joy of my life taken away.
Thank you for the chance

It'd be a complete drag with no pick-me-ups.
What would life be without chocolate--boring!
Life would be a little less boring! I look forward to having a chocolate dessert every weekend!
hblaser at gmail dot com
Dull and boring with only cheesecake to lighten the monotony
life without chocolate? hell on earth
To lose my one true love chocolate? I cannot imagine it he is always so sweet. I give him a hug and he just melts. When he's not around I crave him that much more. Life would be so lonely without him and all his goodness. No,I can't imagine life without my chocolate!
Life without Chocolate? I am already a practicing celibate.....I need to have some life.
life without chocolate? no such thing!
I would be very crabby without my dark chocolate fixes!
Sounds depressing to me!
Life without chocolate would be very difficult for my family! I'd be a grump!
I cannot imagine. I would not be a happy camper and no one in my family would be either.
a day without chocolate would be like a day without sunshine! Ain't no sunshine when my chocolate is gone..... :-)
oh wow. It would be like having no taste buds at all!
Thanks for entering me! Great Contest!

My sweet coffee mocha would be a thing of the past! What kind of birthday cake would I have?! There's always lemon-but I would be a tad grumpy, I suspect.
kaytewatts AT aol DOT com
I tend to crave chocolate after meals so my life would be a constant craving!
My wife would kill me if there were no chocolate! Egaaaaaad!
I cannot live without chocolate
My life would be smoreless, bitter, and cake would be pointless if it were anything less than chocolate!
my life would be empty
I would be depressed! Chocolate makes me happy. I don't even eat too often so it makes it all that more special! I need it! I love truffles, ganaches, and everything chocolate! :)
I would be very sad. I love chocolate. One piece after dinner and I am set. Chocolate gives me a sweet feeling.
My life without chocolate would be colorless, drab and bleak. How would I get my boost? What would I eat with my cup of coffee? I can not imagine a world without M&Ms, BonBons, and kisses. I think I would cry everyday for the rest of my life.
Boring.
My life might actually be a little more sane without chocolate. See, caffeine makes me totally jumpy and ill. I have given it up completely EXCEPT for chocolate. It's too good and as far as I know there is no decaf chocolate. Also, I have a 3 year old who is even more addicted to chocolate. For her birthday she asked for chocolate cake with chocolate icing, chocolate filling, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate sprinkles on top. Imagine a party full of 3 year olds after that was served and you'll have an image of the insanity chocolate creates in my life.

Life without chocolate would be lackluster!

"What would my life be without chocolate?"
I hope I never have to find out! It would be less sweet.
BBB: Bearable but bland!
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
Life would be a sad and dreary existence.
My life without chocolate would be really sad.
austma7@aol.com
I'd have to double my drugs at least!
What would my life be without chocolate?! Too empty to even contemplate.. my son wouldn't be my son ( I grew him on chocolate, you know ;) ).. I wouldn't look forward to birthdays and Valentine's Day... I'd have no secret "happy stash" in the kitchen.. bah!
My life without chocolate would be ...... blah. Just blah.
Life without chocolate would be frustrating. Even eatging less and low card, I must have some form of choclate every day or I go crazy!
Life would be ecstacy-free :(
what life?
embracelove@care2.com
I would be lost! I have chocolate each morning before I go to work.

It would be treatless. I am vegan and the only thing with milk that I let myself eat is chocolate here and there.
jennylovesjeff (at) hotmail (dot) com
My life would be much more stressful without chocolate. I have a stressful job and I keep some little chocolate treats in my desk for when I start getting stressed out. I take a few moments to myself to just enjoy a little chocolate and it helps me destress. Thanks!
pjgirl74 at aol dot com
It would be stressful without chocolate!
dates would invest in alot more flowers.
and women would be violent for 1 week each month.
A life without chocolate would be cloudy and grey!
Chaotic. My life would be utterly chaotic without chocolate!
It would be sad for my boyfriend and me. We both have chocolate sweet tooths!
My life would be lonely without chocolate. It is my best friend. We celebrate all the time and when I need a friend chocolate is ALWAYS there.
kbuch64@yahoo.com
Chocolate makes the me Happy
That's like asking me what my life would be without my loved ones. I love, love, love chocolate.
If I don't have it at least once a week I feel like I'm dying. When really, I'm just going through sugar withdrawal
Life would be almost meaningless without being able to cuttle up with a nice box of chocolates and a good book.
I linked to the contest on my blog.

Without chocolate, my life would be about 15 lbs lighter, but not as sweet.
Of course, my life would be pounds lighter, but my life would be so much less sweeter- I love my chocolate!
texas_heartland84[at]yahoo[dot]com
You can never have enough chocolate in your life.

My life without chocolate would be very bitter.
I can't imagine life with no chocolate :(
Oh my, even the thought is unbearable! There would be no passion, no lust, no thrill to life!
a dull beige like plain oatmeal.
Pretty unbelievably dull. Oh and extremely dangerous for others for one week out of each month!!!
Without chocolate life will be no fun
bear101 at hotmail dot com
It would be so miserable!
Ouch! No chocolate?? No snuggly sweet comforting relaxation in the evening? That would be dreadful! And my husband might not survive..
My life would be dismal without chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. A chocolate-less life would be dismal, disheartening, morose, depressing, and every other negative adjective.
50 lbs lighter
No chocolate? Unbearable!
I had a stomach ulcer 5 years ago and the doctor told me not to eat chocolate. What kind of life is that? I still do, but just the good stuff and just a little. No more m&ms.

It would be very very boring
My life would not be as enjoyable, that's for sure! I LOVE chocolate!
Sadder and more gray without chocolate's happiness enzymes...:)
Chocolate every month for a year.. you just made my head explode.
My life would be terrible without chocolate! Everyone's would be (except for those allergic). What would we do with out hot chocolate in the winter, boxes for valentines day, chocolate dipped fruit?

Life without chocolate would be a dreary vanilla affair indeed! It would lack pop, sizzle, antioxidants & meaning! :D

And remember, never eat more chocolate than you can lift.

Not worth living, I guess.
Empty... Hollow...
It would be less sweet.
Oh, I'm a chocoholic, so I wouldn't even want to think about life without it. PMS would be totally unbearable!

My life without chocolate...what life? I adore chocolate and have recently even come to love dark chocolate after finding that it helps relieve my migraines. Without chocolate my life would be grumpy, consistently late and overall dysfunctional!

Very vanilla...
My life without chocolate? Would be like the bacon without the eggs, the washer without the dryer, the Happy without the Birthday, the motor without the cycle. It would be missing something and incomplete!
smithpatty at comcast dot net
my life without chocolate would be a very dull place. Of course, I would probably be 40 pounds lighter and have better health, but chocolate is worth it!
It would be nerve-racking and a feeling of always having something special in your life.
skyskyaa11(at)gmail.com
Without chocolate I would probably go crazy. I can't imagine not having chocolate for more than a day. It would be too hard to fathom. It would be like not having the internet for me. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.
girlof80s@aol.com
ot so sweet
I couldn't live without chocolate. I have some every day. My life would be tasteless. lol Thank you!
Life without chocolate, I can't imagine. That would just be no fun. I guess we all might a little thinner without it, not sure that is worth it though.
surveymom at drippingrock dot com
Life without chocolate would be very boring.
I would probably be thinner but not happier.
My life would not be nearly as delicious!
There would be no sweetness in my life.
i can't live without chocolate, it would be too dull
I love chocolate, it is my ray of sunshine in my daily routine.
My life without chocolate wouldn't be as rich.
My life without chocolate would be like my life without a best friend!
Without chocolate, my life would be like seeing the world in black and white, like reading a book with only one character, like going to a party where only dry bread was served and everyone spoke in a monotone. BORING!
I would have a constant craving I could never fulfill. Thank you
candieluster(at)gmail(dot)com
More healthy but less fun. I love chocolate! I actually haven't had any in a good while! Hope to win!
