Chocolate dreams ...

Lent starts tomorrow and some friends and I have decided, despite having no religious hankering, that we are going to give up some of our favourite things for 40 days and 40 nights (well, it actually turns out to be 46 days for accuracy).

My absolute vice in life and ultimate addiction is chocolate, so as of tomorrow I am waving 'Buh-bye now!' to any cocoa infused goodness.

This ties in quite nicely with the fact I joined weightwatchers last week so hopefully it will provide a helping hand - that's if I can stick to it.  I've gorged myself on chocolate today for old times sake and all I have left is some choc infused pictures to drool over ...





Creme eggs are my favourite treat and with Easter bunnies and eggs overflowing on the shelves of supermarkets I fully expect to physically restrained from cheating on Lent.  

What are you giving up for Lent?

Do you have any tips or words of motivation for remaining choc free?

    you might know I gave up choc randomly one day about 20 months ago & never looked back. the first 10 days were the hardest, I had awful headaches, but my stubborness & competitiveness meant I desperately wanted to see how long I could last. after that first week or so, it was fine. it's just chocolate. it's like when you give up smoking and you can suddenly appreciate how nice everything tastes - giving up chocolate, you'll quickly become aware how sweet other things are! good luck!!

    and if you need a bit of motivation, I dropped 15lbs within a few weeks, I've barely had headaches for over a year & my skin has looked better than it has for years... xxx
