I’d Forgotten How Strong…
…these food cravings can be. Especially the sweet. I want something sweet. Not drippy, gooey sweet. Just sweet. Right now, strawberries are filling the gap. But I don’t know how long I can make them do. I miss chocolate. This weekend I hope to get to one of the local low-carb emporia to get some low-carb chocolate. It won’t be exactly what I want, but it will help. Maybe.
See, I am a chocolate snob. I prefer the very, very dark chocolates. The ones with 70% or more of cocoa mass. I despise milk chocolate, and even some semi-sweets are too sweet for me. So my chocolate never has had much sugar anyway, but I really can’t let myself have any right now. I’m at the stage where the tiniest bit of sugar is likely to throw me into a binge of croissants, blended coffee drinks, and candies. I can’t risk that.
I am determined to stick with this until I have lost the weight and can go on a maintenance plan. I weigh in on Saturday. I started last Saturday at 205 pounds. I want to drop 75 to 80 of those pounds. By Thanksgiving. If I can stay strong, I know I can do it.
