I made it!!!

Today marks my 90th day without chocolate. Yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaawwwwww!!!!!!!!


Actually 90 days has gone by faster than I expected and for the most part it wasn't as hard as I expected either. Sure, there have been hard days, especially around Valentines Day and Easter, but it really wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I do have to admit that I did stock up a little on easter chocolate. I knew that Cadbury Creme eggs would not be around by now, nor would the Hershey's Vanilla Creme kisses, so I have some hidden in my fridge. Plus there are those deliciously yummy, melt in your mouth, thin mints Girl Scout cookies that should be arriving soon.


I just have to make it through the rest of today and then tonight I am going on a hot date with my hot hubby. For dessert I plan on ordering something with chocolate. Then, for my reward for going 90 days without chocolate, we get to go shopping. :)


My biggest fear about my time being up is that I will fall back into my old habits. Hopefully I can enjoy chocolate again, but without eating too much of it.

You are my hero!!! I know I could not do it.

Have fun tonight--enjoy whatever it is you have for dessert and have a great time shopping.

I think the first couple weeks of a new habit like that are so hard. I've been thinking about doing a 90 day no ice cream (nor anything like unto it) kind of deal. Or maybe just no ice cream after 10 pm....Summer would be a miserable time to do no ice cream :(
Good luck on keeping things in moderation!

Yvonne stole my comment. You're MY hero too!

Mel said...

Wow, talk about self control! Enjoy your hot date tonight;)

Stewart Family said...

Congrats!!! You are a much stronger woman and I am. You are amazing. Good luck in the future!!!!!

Deanne said...

Stashing away chocolate....you're too funny! Congrats on your major accomplishment (that's the non eating of chocolate, not the stashing)!!! I hope you'll share with your loyal fans what you purchased - I'm curious to know! :)

I could do without chocolate, but if you take away the hot tamales candy, I'd be so sad!!

Mary said...

Woohoo! You did it! I hope you had fun on your date and shopping, how fun!

Acacia said...

Congratulations! What'd you buy on your shopping trip, more chocolate???

Gina said...

90 Days? Wow, you really need an award for that!

Suzanne said...

Yay for for you, Amanda! You've done great. Especially being able to have that chocolate hidden in your fridge all this time, with you knowing it was there for the taking.

It's a good thing your kiddies didn't find it first. I've heard that if you put good things into a brown paper bag marked "Tofu" then no one bothers to look inside. LOL!

Have fun shopping tonight after your hot date! :)

WOOOOO HOOOOO
Congrats!
for me, 167 days ice cream free!
[not too much of a chocolate fan but a 1/2 gallon of pineapple sherbet can disappear in two days!]
I told my kids --- 167 days!
If I was an addict kicking a drug you all would be baking a cake for me to celebrate.
I am not amusing they say.
