in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys :) I've been doing this for one week and I'm doing really well so far, but that can't last forever and I know my enthusiasm will wane shortly (probably as soon as I'm faced with a box of chocolate ;), so I'd love some more people to keep me motivated!

    Awesome job on the 1 week! Keep up the good work. You deserve chocolate once in awhile.

    I like individually wrapped chocolates. Less likely to "eat the whole box". If you have trouble with that... try things like buying individual Godiva chocolates. Just get one. And in many cases the expense will help motivate control too. :wink:

    I'm learning to go for quality rather than quantity. (Doesn't always work, but it helps in places, and every little bit helps!)

    Good luck!

    Oh... and congratulations on sticking to it for a week!

    (I don't "friend" people I don't feel like I know yet, but it's fun chatting on the message boards.)

    Thanks :) At the moment I'm getting my choc fix from low-cal hot chocolate, but it's not quite the same thing. Once I'm sure my self control is in place I'll branch out to the real thing!

    In the past I have ignored the fact that they are individually wrapped and kind of hated myself the more times I unwrapped one. But that's a good idea about buying the individual ones - quality over quantity seems like it could help!

    I am new to this as well. I have tried before but with a way to hectic schedule (excuses excuses :) ) I found I could not stick to it. Now my schedule is less hectic. I have only been at it for 10 days but I have lost 5 pounds. I find when I am craving sweets that fruits are the best way to go. I love frozen grapes. You can't eat them too quickly and 10-15 will cut any craving for something sweet.

    Good luck to you, and keep up the good work
