Haven't had a piece since, and I don't miss it. Some people can have a "little" chocolate... I wasn't one of those people.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595663688605330722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-28570971857458058722010-03-09T10:14:56.986-06:002010-03-09T10:14:56.986-06:00I had two bites of my daughters mint choc chip ice...I had two bites of my daughters mint choc chip ice cream last night and then debated begging her for more ( my mom announced coming into my home for dinner that she bought each girl a half gallon of ice cream gee where di all this come from?) anyway I was good with two bites I decided and sat and let the choc chips melt in my mouth awhile.

I have often found myself going to the kitchen just looking through the cupboards and fridge. Then I just snap out of it and think...I'm NOT hungry get out of here.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!!

They're like 45 cals each, and I have one a day. They're kept up in a cabinet behind a closed door so I can't see them out in a candy dish or something. But I like being able to have a little chocolate every day, and it's kind of fun to say one is enough...instead of eating 10 of them. I like wielding that kind of power over the chocolate! lol :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-74173838072267377522010-03-09T08:29:33.622-06:002010-03-09T08:29:33.622-06:00Good job, Sean.

I've had to harness that one and only indulge in that food group with certain combinations which won't kick in the urge for more. And that's a step forwards, because I had to ban this stuff when I was first starting out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-39034436496461330322010-03-09T07:40:51.973-06:002010-03-09T07:40:51.973-06:00How great to realize that your choices are getting...How great to realize that your choices are getting better... and that you have control over what you choose to do, even if it includes chocolate. Like you I eat a lot of the same things daily for breakfast and lunch. Over and over again. So when I get a craving for something specific I do try to have a little so that I don't go bonkers trying to satisfy it. Keep on keeping on Sean, that's all you can do.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974376008651624094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-42522484227185802722010-03-09T07:35:04.445-06:002010-03-09T07:35:04.445-06:00Excellent decision about listening to your best se...Excellent decision about listening to your best self re: chocolate portions!! Myself, I like the 90% stuff. Isn't it funny how you enjoy food MORE when you choose to eat LESS? Just one more of the nice ironies in this journey. :-) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your inner self talk.

This isn't it. As good as I feel, this isn't where it's stopping.<br />And that is where I am, incredibly. I have so much weight still to lose, I am still obese, yet I look so different from what I did before I have to remind myself that I'm still in the middle of my journey! <br />I have always incorporated chocolate into my day, from the beginning, because if I didn't it would have become a 'bad' food and I didn't want to create a huge mindless desire in my heart for it. Normalizing it worked for me. But I like being able to say 'no', to purposefully not walk down the Easter candy aisle at the store, to knowledgeably choose how when where and what type of chocolate I'm going to eat. That is the difference between now and then. <br />Hugs Sean!Laura Ward *aka Zaababy*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853938876914029214noreply@blogger.com
