Day 3: My love affair with chocolate!

I have heard on occasion someone say to me “Oh, I don’t like chocolate…” You don’t like chocolate? What!? Oh, you must mean you LOVE chocolate….no? Well I don’t “like” chocolate, I LOVE chocolate! After a crappy day at work who’s there to soothe me? Chocolate. When my kids are driving me crazy and acting like wild animals, who’s there telling me it’s all going to be ok, it’s almost bedtime. Chocolate!

So needless to say I really like the sweet dark master and I indulge in it quite frequently. I’ve tried sugar free pudding, frozen yogurt vs. icecream, chocolate goldfish crackers, and even this great new thing called VitaMuffins Vita Tops. These are great if anyone is interested. Not only are they loaded with fiber, whole grains, low sodium, and 15 vitamins and minerals, there is a velvety chocolate one out there for only 90 calories and NO SUGAR.

But even with the lovely vita tops, I still crave a good ol’ candy bar or some Ben and Jerry’s. It’s said if you change a habit for 21 days you can break that habit so from this day forward I vow to not have one candy bar or any icecream!!! (Yikes!) Who out there is willing to go forward with me and tell the sweet lovely cocoa bean to kick it?

I will continue with the sugar free vita tops and sugar free pudding because I don’t know if I can go cold turkey on this. We shall see.

I also decided not to weigh myself daily because I am only going to make myself crazy. Last Saturday morning I weighed in at 285.2….I will weigh in every Saturday morning and keep everyone posted. Starting on Saturday I am going back to spin class, it’s been a while since I have done it but I need to go again. Also I am going to be doing measurements as well to keep track of inches lost and what-not.

I can’t thank all of you enough for all the support and love you’ve given me. I received an overwhelming response to this and I am just so fortunate. Love you all!!!!

Below is a link for the vitamuffin tops, I found them in the frozen breakfast sections of Target and Publix, they only have select flavors in store and a lot more selections online.
