My Eighth Chocolate Free Day

So, here I am: Day 8 without chocolate. That's right, Chocolate Free November is still in existence. I have to admit that it almost ended a couple of times. After dinner, I crave something sweet. Today, I had a few dried cranberries to curb the craving (better than choosing chocolate). I also automatically reach for chocolate whenever I am upset or stressed. I've had to remind myself that chocolate will not make me feel less stressed or stop me from being upset.

Now that I'm getting the chocolate consumption under control, I need to focus on exercising more and balancing my diet. Baby steps, right? Except that I need to start taking more steps.

Let me share my chocolate free voyage with you.

I know what you are thinking: how could she wear the same sweatshirt everyday? And, how does she get her hair to look so messy and crappy like that every single day?

8 days down...the rest of November to go!
