  • But I don't like 70% chocolate! I like Mars, snickers, Galaxy, all those full of sugar ones....

    Hi everyone.
    DAY 1
    Have avoided chocolate for 24 hrs !!!!!
  • Managed day 1 (just about) didn't help that DS (age 3) had a birthday party and there was chocolate everywhere :eek: with him saying "I not like it Mum YOU eat it" aaarggghhh fortuneately I stopped myself and continued not to eat any of the party bag contents either (only 2 small bars of choccy in there) this challenge is a bit like a spend diary-every time I go to put chocolate in my gob I have a rethink and say NO.

    So I consoled myself this evening by having kebab and chips from chippie............I'm dying for something sweet...........

    Great idea! I'll join in with this too please. :T

    I usually give up chocolate for Lent as it helps me lose the weight I gain over winter. Didn't do it this year and haven't been able to fit in half my summer clothes :o

    After posting yesterday I went to visit my Grandad in hospital mum went and got coffee and a bottle of water for me from the canteen and came back with a chocolate muffin which I stupidly shared I felt so bad after I had eaten it :(. Today however has been totally chocolate free day for me :)

  • Hello all,

    I was doing really well on this, then went to a very English picnic on Sunday to say goodbye to our friend who is moving back to OZ. I realised with horror after my 4th Jaffa cake that I had eaten chocolate and had promised not to.
    :eek:

    I can only defend my actions by saying that I was thinking of the smashing jaffa orangey bit and not the lovely chocolate holding it onto the spongey base. It is now Monday morning and I'm starting afresh. Wish me luck!
