Deliberate infliction
I was with my friend Kachi when we stopped by a nearby provision store to get some biscuits. Although I had already eaten some biscuits, the moment she mentioned that she wanted to get one, I decided to grab an extra for myself. We both chose a particular chocolate biscuit, and right there in the shop, I opened the packaging and took a bite.
As soon as I tasted how good, sweet, and delicious this chocolate biscuit was, I made up my mind to buy another one. So, I picked up a pack that cost 1,000 Naira, bagged it, and was ready to head home. Although the biscuits were really tempting, I wasn’t planning to finish them all in one day. I thought to myself that I would save some for another day, enjoying them little by little.
Before I knew it, the biscuits were all gone, and I realized that I had consumed the #1000 biscuit, which probably wasn’t the best choice for my health. It was chocolate, and it had a high sugar content. That particular evening, I started experiencing a stomach ache, just like my friend, who had joined me to finish her stew. We both began to complain about our discomfort, and when the pain intensified, we rushed to a nearby pharmacy to get some medicine.
At the pharmacy, they prescribed us a digestive aid, which we purchased. It was an affordable remedy, and thankfully, it helped speed up the digestion process and ease our stomach aches. Now, I realize that while chocolate isn't the healthiest option, it can still be enjoyable but in small quantity.
