Why I need chocolate!
One thing I have noticed is that I am now stopping and thinking about what I eat and why. I have noticed that I do need chocolate - it is not just a love of chocolate thing! When I get stressed I do not go for wine, or even chocolate martinis! I crave chocolate. AND once I get it, I do calm down. Not even the caffeine can rile me! I also need chocolate to reduce my migraines (medicinal chocolate??) but that is another story.
As for the diette, I only lost 1 pound, not 2.5 this week. On the other hand, it is one pound I would still have had I not made the effort. This week, I will once again aim for 2.5 pounds. Will I lose them? We will see. Inch by inch. Little by little. Making an effort and not succeeding still puts me in a better situation than not trying at all.
Oh, and now that I know why I need chocolate, I think I can also recognize when I do not need chocolate. Yet another HUGE accomplishment for me.
Yoga, I am slowly getting through the papers. About 7 more to go. How is the thesis going??
Cheers!

Hey, a pound is still a pound! Picture a pound of butter, and imagine that much fat now gone from your body. That’s an accomplishment! Good work!
Congrats on the pound!!! AND, as far as the chocolate goes—I was reading just the other day one of those articles about how good the dark stuff is for you; I think it was Prevention Magazine. As a fellow chocolate addict I know that “need” only too well.
Sounds like your dress hunt is coming along very well; the dressmaker seems like a good idea. I sometimes do the thrift thing too; amazing the new thngs people give up. We had a computer printer for years that was only $7.00!!!
One pound is one pound! I’d take a one pound loss any day! Or rather any week.
Good work on the more concious ingesting. Keep on goin’!
