Seven days, chocolate free!

[femmocrat]

I had the flu last week and lost 5 pounds! Yeah! So I thought... it's now or never to give up sweets. (I will admit I had a couple of Mentos and a couple of pieces of hard candy at work.) But no chocolate! That is really something for me, a choc-o-holic!

I'm not even going to buy one lousy Easter bunny!

1. Hey

[femmocrat]

[SPKrazy]

3. can i can i!

:bounce:

4. Congrats!

and good luck! :toast:


I have to go off chocolate totally, until I don't crave it any more. Then I only have it once a week, perhaps.

Tow or three days straight of having chocoalte, and I go into full crave mode. NOT a fun situation. :scared:

[femmocrat]

16. I will admit it. I am powerless in its presence!

But so far I have been able to resist.

5. but why?

signed

could not live without chocolate....

[femmocrat]

17. I just want to cut down on all sweets. Chocolate is my biggest downfall.

Diabetes runs in our family and I think now is a good time to make some major changes in my diet.

6. I admire you, femmocrat!

Wow- giving up chocolate just before Easter !

I'm afraid chocolate is the last thing I'll give up.
It evens out the stress of the day.

But I admire you!
You picked one of the most difficult times
to give up chocolate.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

7. NEVER is there a good time to give up chocolate

especially DARK CHOCOLATE 70% cocoa kind

[Kajsa]

10. YUM!

That stuff is sooooo good!

:hi: :9

[SPKrazy]

13. Yah!

so chocoholics got to stick together!

can't be supporting anyone's trek into abstinence from it!

it's an all or nothing thing I imagine...

mebbe not, mebbe i can "control" my chocolate consumption...

I didn't like it at an earlier point in time.

[Kajsa]

20. LOL !

It didn't work for me either.

;-)

[femmocrat]

18. You know, it gets a little easier every day.

It's really tough at work, because of the stress and the availability of candy everywhere. I used to walk around with some of those mini-candy bars in my purse all the time. But I have been able to keep my hands out of the candy jars all week. I really believe now that I'm going to be able to do it.

8. Don't give it up!

Just change the chocolate you eat to darker varieties and eat less.

[SPKrazy]

14. That's Right!

:evilgrin:

[femmocrat]

19. And it's supposed to be good for us, too!

Be strong.... be strong.... (I'll make that my mantra)! LOL

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. Dark Chocolate doesn't count as sweets.

It kept me from losing my mind while I was giving up sweets. It will totally keep you going.

22. seven minutes chocolate free

i'm really a pretty useless human being, aren't i? :-)

[idgiehkt]

23. Free chocolate? Where??

Just kidding...congrats; it's definitely my drug of choice, lol.

[Evoman]

24. Man, I'm with you!

Haven't touched choclate in close to a month (with the exception of choclate milk). I also haven't eaten chips, soda or any candy in just about as long. I'm eating only lean meats, skim milk, veggies, fruits and whole wheat grains. And I'm the guy who has been addicted to pop for ever.

I'm even starting to hit the gym again....which is probably why I haven't lost any weight, even after a month. But putting on muscle is a good thing. Its been hard...especially when I go out to a restaurant and force myself to drink only water (or lemonade).

On edit: DO NOT go into R/T...they are talking about this anatomically correct choclate Jesus...and man, does he ever look delicious.

[femmocrat]

26. Good for you! Do you feel healthier?

I saw that chocolate Jesus.... :scared:

28. I gave up chocolate once.

It was the longest 30 minutes of my life! :P
