Did it kill me? No. But around the middle of the month I was definitely getting ready to hit things/people/advertising concepts. I'm glad I'll get to eat it again, that's for sure. According to my WiiFit I lost two kilos this month but I don't think that the lack of chocolate is the only cause. Work-related stress was probably a big contributor to that! It did make me realise how often I did eat it and how mindless it often was. Not a revolutionary observation but true nonetheless.
The good
- Examining eating habits, establishing some new rituals/alternate food choices.
- Feeling self-righteous for abstaining.
- Saving some snack dollars (afterall, what I save on chocolate I can spend on drinks!)
- The cravings, oh, the cravings.
- Sometimes an alternative just isn't what you want.
- Do you know how many products contain chocolate, even if just as a garnish?
- Discovering that the Easter countdown, and all of the associated advertising, starts in January.
- Getting sunburnt on Australia Day and not being able to use my moisturiser because it was Palmer's Cocoa Butter.
- Well, I will be later this year when I give up caffeine so I'll be sure to have another chocolate-related psychotic episode. Watch this space.
- Hells to the no! I think I'd give up cheese before I gave up chocolate forever.
