Confessions of a Chocoholic!

Okay, I must confess I am a major chocoholic! I have a 4 to 5 bar a day habit. I cannot keep away from anything chocolate. Chocolate bars, candy bars, chocolate chunk cookies, chocolate icecream (are you aware of how many varieties there are? mmmmmm).... I could go on and on. So, when I started my weight loss journey, I decided that one of the first things I would have to do is control the chocolate cravings. (I am hoping AyurSlim from WestCoastDrugs will help with that, since it is supposed to reduce cravings. Check it out at http://www.westcoastdrugs.net/generic-medicine/AyurSlim/340.html ; Okay, that is today's plug for WestCoastDrugs).
Anyway, until my AyurSlim arrives, I have hit upon another plan. You know how they say (I always wondered who the 'they' were. It just seems that as soon as you hear the words 'they say' you absolutely accept whatever it is 'they' are saying as gospel truth.) that dark chocolate is actually good for you? Well, I went and bought a huge bar of extra dark 80% cocoa chocolate. Just pure dark chocolate. Now, whenever I feel a chocolate craving coming up, I have a piece of the dark chocolate. It gives me a total chocolate fix. Now if only I could find a way to go from a half a dozen chocolate cravings a day down to a couple!
Sue is very happy with her walking group. They meet every Sunday morning at 8 am at different spots, and then proceed for lovely, long walks in parks and in the country. The only downside to this is that after the walk, they all get together and have a drink and something to eat. Sue enjoys the time they spend together and the new friends she has made, so she does not want to opt out of the snack time, neither does she want to eat donuts and ruin her weight loss regime. She finds it very hard to just sit there with a cup of black coffee while everybody else is stuffing their face. Any suggestions?
I have given up trying to urge Latisha to exercise. I hope the Sibutramine gives her a good start so she will be more motivated.
Well, as soon as our meds arrive, we shall weigh ourselves, and then the real journey begins!
