Previously I wrote about the task that I was giving up chocolate for 30 days. Well, the countdown has begun. 8 days….and it hasn’t been easy. Currently occupying the bottom shelf of my fridge at home is the following Easter products:

Now whilst many of these items were bought by family members as an Easter gift, I must mention the last item was purchased by a co-worker who had my no chocolate task specifically in mind when deciding to buy this egg for me. These chocolate products have occupied my fridge since Easter weekend. And what does this mean?

PEOPLE ENJOY TORTURING ME!

Not nice, and I tell you what – I am bloody impressed by my willpower right now. Why can’t I just put this willpower to good use? Like forcing myself to keep jogging on the treadmill for a bit longer at personal training. Or forcing myself to lift that 10kg weight just one more time? Or holding that hover (move we do at gym where you hold your body off the ground) for 30 seconds longer. But noooooooooooooooooooooo, all I use it for is to torture myself, all for the name of a new years challenge.

If, by now, you’re wondering why Mat hasn’t eaten the chocolate yet, it’s because our relationship was threatened should his wandering hands touch those eggs before my sentence has passed. I warned him that there would be SERIOUS consequences should I find anything missing. There was previously a red tulip egg added to that list, but he begged and begged and I relented, only because there was so much waiting for me. But since then, I’ve caught him gazing, but everytime he looks at me I shake my head. I have promised to share it with him when the time comes.

I hope this 8 days goes quickly, I can’t wait to dig in.
