I've decided to test my will power for the next month as I try to overcome by biggest weakness. From today until my birthday I will refrain from eating or drinking any form of chocolate. No hot chocolate, Girl Scout Cookies, Reese's Puffs or Chocolate Chex. Not even a chocolate chip will cross my lips. I've never done anything so extreme in my life. Crazy? Yes. Impossible? Let's hope not.
My new (temporary, or course) motto: Once you consume chocolate, chocolate will consume you.

Way to go Julie! I set a new years
goal to go without pop or candy
this year but the one thing I did
not give up 100% was chocholate.
I admire your strength. Maybe next
year I will be as brave as you
and give up chocolate too. For now
I'm one week in and staying strong.
You Go Girl!!!
You rock! I am sure you will do great! I gave up sugar when I had gestational diabetes. It was great. I lost lots of weight. My quote on my wal in my kitchen says, "I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter." Just thought I would send you a laugh.
You are CRAZY!! I am not going to cheer you on, because I could never do it and I hope that you never have to be an inspiration to me in this way. :) Love you all the same. May your birthday cake be CHOCOLATE!! Love, Betsy
(make a little tracker on the side so we can chart your progress. . .)
You can do it! I used to not even like chocolate. That is, until I married Ben. He's definitely rubbed off on me in that way.
Loved reading your book list too. You read so many good ones last year.
When you feel weak, think of the line from "The Best Two Years" where the geeky Elder is reprimanding his comp for carrying food in his pocket when they are supposed to be fasting: "Where's your WILL POWER, Elder?!?"
LOL, I wonder if the hot chocolate from the chocolate apothecary did you in last week ;-) Good luck, and we'll have to celebrate your will power with something rich and chocolatey in a month for your b-day!!
I admire your will power...and I can sympathize too. My family is all too familiar with giving up foods we love ;|
