How can I stop eating chocolate? 😉

So, in general if you’re trying to change a habit it helps to think about what problem it solves for you. If you’re eating chocolate because you’re stressed or anxious, try replacing the chocolate with something else you enjoy that makes you feel less anxious. If that’s hard to do, you might consider talking to a counselor (BC Health Services or Campus Ministry). But be endlessly gentle with yourself about it. Habits are hard to break.

For the record, I don’t recommend any humans stop eating.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
