I'm giving up Chocolate

I'm a big Chocolate fan, actually make that an addict. I'm a big Chocolate addict. This wouldn't be so bad if my amazing self control skills could work whilst I was eating chocolate but for some reason I can't just eat one bit of chocolate, I have to eat ALL the chocolate.

Every year I give up Chocolate for Lent, it's hard but I can do it, after all it's only a few weeks. I suffer withdrawal symptoms although I've always put that down to giving up Fizzy drinks at the same time but having read a bit about withdrawal symptoms in the past few days I've realised that what I'm probably craving is the caffeine in the Chocolate...

So maybe I'm not a Chocolate addict, but a caffeine addict.

Either way, I'm giving up Chocolate until near Christmas (I'm planning on taking December "off" from serious weight loss attempts as I figure nobody loses weigh at Christmas). It's going to be hard, as I crave chocolate as a snack, I crave it when I'm due on (It's how I tell my period is due!), it's my go to treat... but I'm sure that I'll find something else. Skittles are good right?

  1. Chocolate is highly addictive so once you've managed a few weeks, it should be much easier to keep on the wagon! x

    1. Exactly, and I look at it this way. If I can do it with Dr P then chocolate should be well easy!

  2. I dont think I could ever ditch chocolate. I can now go longer without it but every month I need chocolate when my period is due.

    1. I used to be a Ribena and Mars Bar girl once a month but now I'm quite happy with a big glass of milk.
