I am now in the middle of week 5 of Operation Healthy Family
and this is what I have missed the most...
not my Tim's Tea or any fast food
or chunks of french bread with brie
or my nightly mommy's little helpers
I have dearly missed chocolate
when I am sad, chocolate is my shoulder to cry on
when I am happy, chocolate helps me celebrate
when I am bored, chocolate entertains me
when I am shivering, chocolate in the hot form warms me up
when I am hot, chocolate in an ice cream treat does the trick
but I have become way too dependant &
we have developed a very tumultuous relationship
and it is had become an unhealthy addiction
(and emotional crutch) for me
it was time to walk away
take a break
learn to find healthy alternatives
and ways to deal with my emotional connection
to that dark, sweet, smooth taste of complete yumminess.
so after a 4 week absence I have slowly
reintroduced this little piece of heaven back into my life
starting with this bar of organic 80% cocoa dark chocolate
one piece at a time
so far so good
the above bar has lasted me one WHOLE week
(and there is still some left)
and 5 weeks ago,
it wouldn't have even made it
into the house.
there is still more sugar to be removed from
my daily choices
but baby steps
one day at a time.

That's some will power Dee! Happy Friday!
I am impressed! I read your post and could hear my voice talking (minus the part of actually being successful at it). I'm just at the stage of knowing I need to give it up and not rely on chocolate. I think maybe you are giving me the kick in the rear I need. Thanks for sharing your journey on "Operation Healthy"
