I have had a huge craving for chocolate lately. And when I say huge, I mean HUGE!
But I am also trying to get in shape to see my husband when he comes home to visit in a few months…it will take that long to get my poor body in shape.
I was tempted by every single piece of chocolate candy I saw in the commissary this morning, especially the special gift box of Turtles. My favorite chocolate is the kind that covers some kind of nut and caramel. Believe me, it took every ounce of will I had to resist that temptation.
I was so proud of myself.
That is, until I caved while fixing dinner this evening.
In a moment of complete desperation, I grabbed a container of Bakers Dipping Chocolate, melted it in the microwave, and had a quick snack of marshmallow fondue. And I tossed the container when I was done!
Tomorrow should be a better day, there is absolutely no chocolate left in the house now.

I hear you on caving… seems like our will-power only goes so far!

Oh I hate that…we keep some high octane stuff around..that’s the stuff with 60 or 70 % cacao one square and it knocks out the craving!
Then it doesn’t mess with the getting in shape!

I can relate! Chocolate is my downfall!
