Hard Habit to Break

I know its been quite a while since there has been any activity on this once very exciting blog. And now I'm baaaaccckkkk and fatter..better than ever.
I am back with a new technique for weight loss that may result only in me going insane, but I figured its worth a try (I am pretty close already).
As you well know, I am love chocolate. I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack if I could. I practically do, with a salad mixed in for good measure.
I realized in recent weeks that not a day goes by without me eating some form of chocolate. Its a bit of an addiction, and its getting out of hand.
So I have decided to change my ways. This is not going to be a diet (where have we heard that before? A lifestyle change, perhaps?)
This is going to be 30 days without chocolate (have I lost my mind?). They say (whoever "they" are)that it takes 30 days to break a bad habit. So today is the day I begin. For one month, 30 days, I am going to try my very hardest to avoid any and all chocolate. I just want to see how I feel, if I can break the habit, if I can live without it, (if my skin will clear up). Beginning January 4, 2010 I am going "chocolate free". It includes all forms. No diet chocolate ice cream bars, no fat free chocolates, no sugar free chocolate. Nothing chocolate, nada, zip.
I hope you will support me in this endeavor and I hope to keep you updated on this journey.
Lets see how it goes. Maybe it will go so well that I will become a chocolate free human being. Maybe I will feel so good I will slowly become sugar free, flour free and be left eating fruits and veggies only...or maybe I will slowly go insane...

Thanks for your support.

PS Just so you know as preparation for this "fast" I have pretty much eaten every kind of chocolate that I like in the last three days. I am almost, but not quite, sick of it :)
"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." - Dave Barry

Hurray! I am so excited for the return of the blog. I think 30 days without chocolate is a good experiment. I know lots of people who give it up for Lent, so this will be similar. I am totally supportive! I don't even want cake on my b-day next week. Want to make me a nice fruit platter? :)

Breaking up is hard to do Sarah, but you can definitely do this with flying colors. The blog is great and I look forward to reading more entries. Maybe Sara can have a vanilla cake for her birthday with vanilla frosting? Miss you!
