I had to let go of a very good friend and I’m having a hard time. This buddy has been with me in the good times and bad, and always around to cheer me up….chocolate! Ha ha. I am so sad but it had to be done. Anyone that knows me is aware that I have a serious choc. addiction. It goes beyond the occasional candy bar. I would literally down a half bag of Nestle Treasures in one sitting, and after every meal! I don’t even want to know what our monthly candy bill was. I can pass on any other dessert out there, except chocolate. It’s catching up with me though and I knew if I didn’t do it on my own, an intervention was coming.:) You know, I could get away with it when I was younger and my metabolism was fast and furious. Then, as a runner I figured I burned so much during my workout that I could justify the 800 calorie desserts.:) I still run, but something has changed and I think my body just can’t keep up with the M&Ms anymore! So right now I am on day 5 without having any chocolate with caramel, or mint, or just milky sweetness. I knew if I didn’t totally eliminate the temptation, I would crack! So I’m actually surprised at how well I am doing. Yesterday I did break down somewhat and have dessert, but it was an apple with brown sugar, some cinnamon, and walnuts that I threw in the microwave to make soft and warm. That’s not bad, right?! My goal is to just start eating healthier overall. I learned that if I get all my fruits and veggies in, I’m pretty full anyway, so it’s going good for the moment.
Wednesday we have a big test though: a lunch with listeners at Friendly’s! Oh boy, help me now!:)
