And strike one for Chocolate!

I am amazing!  A whole day without chocolate! YAY!  I did it - I almost gave in a few times too, it was a tough day.  My husband came near me after eating some chocolate and tried to kiss me - I TOTALLY freaked out at him about it.  Then, I went and brushed my teeth to make sure I wouldn't eat anymore.  

My biggest problem is I can't say no to food.  I love food.  Everything about food is wonderful and makes me happy.  And that is the problem.  It really isn't making me happy - it is filling some emotional hole that I don't understand.  That is something I will write about on another day...

In the meantime, I BEAT THE CHOCOLATE.. Yeah, I know - Big deal fat chick - one day without chocolate.  You still had a peppermint candy, and drank some Mt. Dew (it wasn't diet either!)  But I am just proud because the chocolate is all over my house, and it isn't fair to my husband to hide it or to just throw it all out.  

Some of the ways I did it????  Selected another snack - I had an egg, I had a peppermint candy for sweetness, I made a sweeter dinner - that ROCKED!!!! Stuffed french toast - but it was a Weight Watchers recipe and only 2 points per serving, I had two servings, and it was TOTALLY worth it!  Ate some string cheese, worked on taking down Christmas decorations, and just kept myself away from it.  There were a few times that I really wanted to pounce, but I didn't!

So tomorrow, as a treat, I am going to reward myself for my accomplishment.  I will get to have half of my "bumpy lumpy bar" that I bought today.  But, I have to wait until 3pm to have it.  I haven't had one before, so if it is good - then yay! If not, then I will learn not to reward myself with food - which is another hurdle that I need to clear.  But also - the words bumpy lumpy are not awesome... the treat is telling me exactly what it is going to do to my body.  HA!  So I wont want to eat too much. 

Really - at this point in the game, it is me working on the things that I have trouble saying no to, and the things that I feel that I can't control!  I AM TAKING BACK THE CONTROL! WOO HOO!!!

The other day I hurt my foot - it is the same place that I fractured it about 10 years ago, and I am frustrated because I want to make it to Jazzercise tomorrow.  I will work on getting there, and in the meantime, I wish everyone who reads this a wonderful night, and send them my non chocolate strength!!!
