MY REPUTATION PRECEDES ME!!
Now, I've made no secret on this board for my love of......CHOCOLATE.
Sigh. It's my biggest weakness, and one that, like many of you, I battle daily.
HOWEVER.....last week I got a picture text from Darla and Kathy while they were in Florida showing a sinful chocolate cheesecake - Darla said it was organic and sweetened with agave nectar.
Today? I get a picture text from Candy and Jerry in Vegas - I expected to see a photo of Candy in front of some famous Vegas landmark, but NOOOOOOOO.......it was a picture of a chocolate dessert!!!!!!
LOL!!!!
Umm......thanks!! Guess the jig is up, huh?

Good thing it wasn't a scratch and sniff text!!! LOL!!!!!
Pre-op, my weaknesses were chocolate, pizza and ice cream. Now - 2 of the 3 remain. Surprisingly, I can take or leave ice cream. And since pizza dough doesn't always like me, I just eat the toppings.
The chocolate, however, is another matter. Although now, I tend to buy the higher quality stuff - a little bit of good quality goes further than a lot of lesser quality. If that makes sense!
I just thought it was hilarious that THAT'S what I got from their vacations!!! LOL!!!

Just a small quantity of real, good quality chocolate - usually dark.
If I eat s/f chocolate or a cheaper variety, I will get sick with cramps, diarrhea, etc.
Of course, it affects everyone differently, and I don't think I opened THAT door until I was at least 9 months post-op. And now, I'm sorry I did!!!

Ummm......choc ritas? Hmmm........I've had chocolatinis before.
I might have to explore this suggestion.
Gee, thanks, Julie!!! LOL!!!
Actually, we'll be hitting Rheb's the day after Thanksgiving!! The difference is - pre-op, I could've eaten a 1/2 pound of chocolate in one sitting - now, two dark chocolate vanilla buttercreams and I'm satisfied!!!!

*goes searching for something chocolate to email to Tia* .. lol
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
