Chocolate Part II

Ok, I am officially swearing off chocolate. At least for the next six weeks or so, however long Lent is.
Now, I am not a religious person. The only time I go to church is for christenings and weddings. But I like the idea of Lent. And it serves a purpose right now.
I am actually scared a little that I am truly addicted to chocolate. This past month was the worst. I ended up buying a bag of Reeses Peanut butter hearts for MYSELF for Valentine's Day. How sad is that? I know my hormones haven't been very normal these past few months with being off the pill, but can i really blame hormones for chocolate cravings? Seriously? Because the two seem directly related, and I know that I have been eating way more chocolate over the past three months than i normally do.
So that's it, that's all. I ate up the rest of the bag today (and feel quite ill about it consequently) and after today, NO MORE.
The first few days will be tough, I know. It means no chocolate in whatever form. I'm not sure if I can be this strong.
Chocolate, I am breaking up with you. You're not good for me. So this is the end.
And don't call me.

  1. Love the "and don't call me" part :) If only it were so easy ;)

    I've had times when I have to keep certain substances out of my house, out of fear I'll eat them. I've banned chocolate chips before ... after finishing off half a bag!

    Good luch with the chocolate break. It might be hard for a few days, but try to eat something else with a crunch.

    I'm trying a "don't eat if you're not hungry" thing, except for scheduled meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as "if you must eat, make it healthy".

    That said, I ate brownie cookie dough this morning. Erk. I'll start my "better eating" now. Right now. This minute ... Right.
