    well done everyone, you have more willpower than me!

    I think chocolate (the milk kind at least) is fairly easy to give up once you beat the addiction.

    Give it a month and when you taste it you'll find it incredibly sickly

    I'll second that. I remember when I had gotten a Thornton's strawberry truffle bar as part of a present and as I'd been on the ac diet for yonks, I'd try a bit of it, and I couldn't believe how sickening sweet it tasted, I couldn't eat it and ended up throwing it in the bin.

  • Another day without chocolate. Fancied something sweet so splashed out a bit and had a passion fruit, expensive at 49p but kept the chocolate cravings at bay. Had just weighed myself with scary all-singing-all-dancing machine in Boots and have put back 2 of the 4lbs I recently lost. Doh! :doh:
