Choctober - An update of the last 30 days

WoW who can believe I'm nearly 30 days clean of Chocolate?  And OMG I can't believe "Michelle Bridges" gave a shout out to me in her weekly email this week, I am still squeeing on the inside.  It really was the turning point for me after the week I had.

So here's where I started and that Willpower muscle has been flexed the entire month.

So absolutely NON of the below have passed these lips.

• Soliel Chocolate Mousse
• Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa Dark Noir
• Go Natural fruitnut: choc, almond & raspberry bar's.
• Carman's Dark Choc Blueberry Superfood bars
• Jarrah Hot Chocolate
• Protein FX Lo Carb Mini Protein Bars

I also found that I had other things to tackle.

• The complimentary Chocolate Coffee bean with my Long Black.
• Chocolate Mud Cake (Birthday celebration)  I was the only one who said no and had to watch 9 people eat cake in front of me.
• Aero Choc Mint Mousse (how did I forget about you?)
• Skinny Cow / Weight Watchers Sundae cups (they all contain chocolate)
• 12WBT Cacao Bites (Another menu temptation Michelle threw in for me for good measure)

And really Nestle you decide to stop making Soliel Cheesecake both Lemon & Tropical the month I decide to give up Chocolate?  A good thing to come out of this was dessert was basically Non existent in October and my financial support of Nestle has reduced.

Though I did discover Gelativo Coffee Gelato Cups (139 Calories) last week when looking for something to accompany our Prawn Pad Thai treat meal Saturday night. YUM!!  

What made that Willpower muscle flex a little more is I still had all these items in my pantry.  Gone are the days where everything must be devoured by x day so there is no temptation.  I just made the decision not to eat them, every week new Soliel Mousse's were brought because G was still eating them but I remained strong in mindset that food did not rule my actions.
