One week down... one to go...

[dream]

... and my only problem for the last two days has been CHOCOLATE!!

Don't tell me to just stay away from it because that's not possible when I'm at work. Every single office I've been in today has had chocolate setting on the desk in pretty little dishes screaming at me!

I will not eat the chocolate... I will not each the chocolate....

BTW... one week down and I haven't strayed a single bite. And my jeans are not cutting me in two!

Re: One week down... one to go...

I am a choco-holic and on the board they gave a great idea. I went to the store and got cream cheese, hersheys cocoa powder, cinnamon and splenda. You melt the cream cheese a little, stir in the cocoa powder, spenda and cinnamon and then throw it in the freezer or fridge for a little big-it was AMAZING! Totally cured my chocolate desire and 100% on the diet!

Hang in there Dream!!! You are doing so well, so proud of you!!! When you hit the dairy rung, I'll tell you how to make a Chocolate Smoothie.....then when you hit the berry Rung....A Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie or Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie!! Yum.....

You're doing sooooooo good!! Keep fighting temptation, each is a step forward.

Tonight try Snuggles idea. Just remember moderation moderation......

YOU CAN DO THIS!! YOU WANT TO DO THIS!!

Anyway....saw your post and was thinking of you...thought you could use a shoulder to lean on.....just keep telling yourself that over and over..
'I will not eat the chocolate... I will not each the chocolate....'

Congrats on your jeans fitting better, just think...next week they'll feel even better!

Big Picture!!! Big Picture!!! Success!!!

Re: One week down... one to go...

Scooter... you are just the motivation and encouragement I need!

I'm so excited about this... it's working, I feel good and I am NOT going to give in to that chocolate! I honestly think that the treat Snuggles mentioned tastes better than the stuff I've been looking at today on these desks.

And I am definitely going to hold you to that promise about telling me how to make the smoothies - raspberries and chocolate together are my all time favorite treat!!

Have a great day!

Good job on staying strong!! I wish I had some cream cheese. I keep forgetting to get some.

Re: One week down... one to go...

I resisted making it yesterday, but I'm going to make it my chocolate weekend treat.

And I had what I thought was going to be a real challenge yesterday... and ended up sailing through it with flying colors! I went out with a bunch of friends for food and drinks and I was so afraid it was going to get ugly... lol.

Instead I chose grilled tenders with no sauce and dipped them in bleu cheese dressing instead. And my drink of choice was tea sweetened with my own liquid Splenda that I'm never without now.

I KNOW now that I am going to make it this time.

Excellent! It feels so good when you get through a challenge like that.
