Tootin' my own horn....

Postby Joelie » April 11th, 2006, 7:45 am

I just have to! :D This is a really HUGE accomplishment for me.

There is a HUGE bowl full of Easter candy in the break room here at work.
I've always been able to pass up most candy...but NOT chocolate.
Chocolate is my weakness.

And most importantly Hershey Eggs! *DROOL*
I've been know to hit every store I possibly can right after Easter and buy up the rest of the Hershey Eggs the stores had in stock for fear of running out before the next Easter. :oops: I ALWAYS ran out though. Heck I've had just about an entire bag for dinner before in the past. I LOVE Hershey Eggs!

BUT...I've turned my nose to them. I tried really hard not to even look at them...but I have to pass right by them to get to the water and ice machine. I still look out of the corner of my eye though. :lol:

I'm doing it! I'm really, really doing it! And I'm soooo proud of myself!


I LOVE MEDIFAST!

Way to go!! :yes:

I know it is tough cause I usually eat a chocolate bunny for easter, every easter and a cadbury creme egg. Not this year, I know it will be there next year. Though I do plan on having an easter egg, that is a tradition I refuse to break cause we always decorate them together, it's a fun thing I do with my oldest son. I'll just eat a little less lean from the L&G that day! :)

I think the Easter Bunny needs to hop right over there and hide those darned chocolate eggs! :lol:

Congratulations on clearing the Hershey Egg hurdle! :bravo:

WTG!! Chocolate used to be my enemy. I got ahold of some chocolate exlax one time. My room mate thought it would a nice and funny practical joke. Not to me. Amazing how much that stuff tastes like real chocolate. Especially after a night out partyin'!! Anyway, it is really hard for me to eat chocolate now. I just remember that night and the next 3 days and that is all it takes. Keep up the good work!!

YIKES! Nice room mate, eh?

When I was a kid I ate an entire box of exlax. I remember being sick for days. Never stopped me though. :lol:
