I did it! Day one accomplished. I'm into day two feeling like maybe I can handle my 21 day challenge. I've spent the last year obsessing about food and even lost over 20 lbs...all this without giving up chocolate.
Cocofree living is a symbol of my quest to figure out how to challenge and improve the inner me. It's not really about the chocolate at all.
Zee....my darling 11 year old. He loves his sweets as much as dear ol' mom. He also loves to bake and yes, he choose this week to bake a chocolate cake. I love that he was completely independent in his decision to bake for the family, he almost did all the clean up himself too. So it was especially difficult when he offered up a piece of cake for me and said "here mommy, you have to taste this" on my very first day of chocofree living. I admit to a little white lie when I said I had already had a piece and it was delish.
So I dodged a bullet with only minor mommy guilt...certainly not as much angst as I would have experienced giving in to chocolate on the very first day.

What a Herculean task you've set out for yourself! Chocolate is a food group in my house. But I shall banish the word from my vocabulary and stand in support of your effort. You go, girl.
