OMG, no!!! Not DARK chocolate!... But if I can make it past this...

[Papa Deuce]

I am at work and someone LITERALLY just laid down about 15 POUNDS of assorted DARK choclate, about 8 feet from where I sit! They put it on the "Community Food Desk", so I can't really ask them to move it because it will tempt me.

If it was MILK chocolate I could walk right by without much problem. If it was white chocolate there wouldn't even be a temptation.... but DARK chocolate is a major nemesis!

Say a prayer!

Eat something NOW with fat in it. Do you have anything at work you can eat? It is soooo good that you came here and posted. Drink some extra water. Go take a walk if you can. Look at pictures of you at the weight you want to get to. Read this thread (What excuse do you have......). You can do it!

I just drank 24 ounces of water and refilled the cup.... I should be OK, but I am having to REALLY work at it.... But if I make it past this, it will feel REALLY great!

[Papa Deuce]

Yay! About 5 hours later and almost the entire amount of chocolate is gone! Maybe half a pound remains, and I didn't have any at all! I did drink about 60 ounces of water and diet Coke, though.

You did just like your siggy says...you just set a positive example for your daughters. Just because something is around doesn't mean you have to eat it.

You did it! Congrats!

And while that last 1/2 pound is being consumed, you'll be busy peeing

Chick made me laugh again. Stop it. I end up developing stomach muscles this way.
PD way to go. You have mountains of strength inside of you. Just need to tap into it. Keep that goal in mind all the time. Focus, focus, focus.

chicklady....

How did it go? Did you make a bee line to the restroom? Too bad the chocolate couldn't have "accidentally" made it to the trash can.

Oh man, PD. I can relate... dark chocolate is an absolute weakness for me too. I'm glad you made it through... keep up the great work you're doing!

You made me smile big time. This time of year is hard for me, I have to make a couple of hundred Valentine gift baskets complete with stuffed animals and boxes of chocolate, garnished with loose chocolates like Cherry Cordial Kisses. Do you know what those SMELL like? I have to actually have the little things in my hot little hands! Last year I kept nibbling. This year, I have been strong!
