The Challenge

I love chocolate. I mean I really, really love it. Yummy, gooey, rich and chewy chocolate is my Achilles Heel. My one weakness, as it were. You know that episode of The Simpsons where Homer drifts off into a dream about The Land of Chocolate? That is my every fantasy come true.

I am also morbidly obese. I know that these two things are connected but bon bons, candy bars, fondue, and other forms of chocolate call to me like the Sirens leading me into the sea of badonkadonk. I have been working out every day and trying to watch what I eat but it is a struggle and the hardest part of that struggle is the chocolate. February was especially bad because of my favorite holiday: Half Priced Chocolate Day. Yes, every February 15th my favorite holiday comes around like clockwork to taunt me with tasty, tasty treats.

Knowing what I know about how bad it is for me to eat this way I have decided to challenge myself to be completely chocolate free for the month of March. It will be hard but I know I can do it! I had my last piece of chocolate until April 1st today and I am feeling strong. Come on March, bring it!
