go chocolate free for four weeks

oh my goodness! this was so so very much worth it. i’m a bit of a chocolate addict so doing this was proving to myself that i did have willpower and that i was up to the challenge.

the first week and a half was probably the hardest, just getting into it and all that, but the next couple of weeks were pretty easy.

My advice? make sure all your friends and family KNOW you are chocolate free or else you keep getting offered chocolate cake, milo, choc-caramel slice, tim tams etc. = P

i am a mere hour and 45 minutes away from success

It was the hardest thing I ever gave up, too—as I adore chocolate. I also did not over-substitute other sweets to compensate, and I didn’t have carob or another chocolate substitute either. On Easter when I could have my beloved chocolate again, someone’s father at the church, who was a non-believer, had fallen seriously ill. I extended my chocolate fast until his recovery was complete.

It was a sacrifice I wanted to make, but not one that I relish making again anytime soon!

stillll going strong. 8 days to go!

just over a week left to go! yay me and my willpower. {is super cool}

i am OVER HALF WAY! 13 1/2 more days to go and i can eat as much chocolate as i desire.

This is actually a really good feeling. I used to eat an awful lot of chocolate, so hopefully after this even though i’m sure i’ll still eat it i won’t be eating a million tonnes a day.

day 12 and going strong!

no chocolate for me = )

aaaaaand we’re at the one week mark! 21 days to go!

day five and i’m doing well! it’s been easier than i thought it would be, only 23 days to go. = P

over easter i have eaten about fifty thousand kg of chocolate and that’s NOT COOL!

So, starting 24/4/06 sarah has been a chocolate free zone!

admittedly i’m only on my third day so far, but i will get there = )
