Wowzers! Ok, I've been craving chocolate for a couple of days now. It's totally hormonal in that I'm not a big chocolate fan and the only time I ever actually want it is due to hormones. The other night I resisted the urge, but last night I could stand it no longer and knew the voices wouldn't shut up. So, I grabbed the container of chocolate frosting. Now, old me would have just sat down and ate the whole thing, but new me decided that I only needed a taste to satisfy this ravenous craving. As a compromise with myself I allowed myself 1 tbsp of chocolate frosting and I mixed it with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter and a few peanuts, a deliberate, thought out, carefully planned dessert that I savored lick by lick instead of eating blindly. Very tasty, not too many carbs and best of all it satisfied the craving and I haven't thought about eating chocolate since. :o) I'm proud of me for not eating the whole tub of frosting. It's an interesting journey to a "lifestyle" change. Finding the balance between overindulgence and a treat now and again. Allowing yourself to eat and not feel guilty about your choices...even if you do mess up. And I'm so glad that the more I continue in this lifestyle, the easier it becomes because to be perfectly honest, I didn't believe it would ever get easier when I started. Happy to have proven myself wrong! :o)
