Back Blogging About Weight Loss
Hi, after 3-1/2 years I am back blogging about weight loss. I really find that writing about my experiences and feelings -- and reading about others -- helps me a lot.
I couldn't get access to my old Blogger account, so I've started up a new blog linked to my other blogs (I like to write A LOT).
I am also now guest author at Fat.ie another Irish based Weight Loss blog, so check me out there as well.

Weight Loss and Chocolate
Confessions of a Choc-a-holic -- Chocolate is the main thing that I cannot control my desire for. I don't know if it's best for my weight loss if I try to give it up all together, like an alcoholic needs to shun all alcohol, or if I can have a small bit from time to time and keep it under control.
I actually went two days without chocolate and I felt pretty good. Besides the fat and sugar in the chocolate, I have problems with my gastro-intestinal track, which increase when I have chocolate or coffee. So, you'd think that I'd be smart and leave it alone.
After those two days of being strong, I had a weak moment in the local shop. I stopped in to drop something off, but knew that I had an ulterior motive -- picking up a chocolate bar. This evening I am feeling bloated and having some stomach pain. Perhaps this will eventually work as a dis-insentive to eating any chocolate.
My kids love chocolate. Of course, why wouldn't they? My husband and I both adore chocolate. I do worry that they will pick-up my bad eating habits. I try not to have any chocolate in the house, so it would be a treat for a special occasion, but then there are days like today, when I feel like everyone deserves a treat if I am going to have one.
Too bad I forgot to pick-up some Special K Chocolate Chip bars on my last shopping trip. They are low in fat and have quite a lot of real chocolate chips. I've been trying to avoid processed foods like this, but I thought it would help with the chocolate problem. Any other recommendations for a chocolate lover on a diet?
