Resolutions

Every New Year I give up chocolate. Not as a diet thing, (trust me, I manage to find plenty of high calorie, terribly bad for me substitutes!), but just to prove I can really. I’m an all or nothing kind of girl, so cutting down isn’t an option, I have to cut it out completely: no chocolate bars, no chocolate biscuits, no chocolate flavour anything, in fact not so much as a chocolate chip! As soon as the slightest piece of chocolate enters my mouth then it’s all over, and I’m back to eating it as before. I guess it’s a willpower thing. I do it just to prove I can!!

I usually aim to be chocolate free until Easter, and so far this year I’ve found it relatively easy. Apart from the first couple of days, and the odd temptation now and again, I’ve not even really thought about it. In fact, once I get a month of chocolate free living under my belt then it stops being an issue.

That is, until they release the mother of all temptation… the father of all sweetness… the chocolatey devil incarnate… the Cadbury’s Crème Egg!!

Oh Mighty God of Milky Confectionary… Give me strength to resist!
