Ok, that may have been a little too dramatic, but it is nonetheless still a good story and one worth telling. So, about two weeks ago, I was talking to my mom telling her I was contemplating doing a 100 day challenge regarding treats and soda. She said, "Are you sure you are really up to that? Maybe you should just limit yourself to twice a week." I laughed out loud (literally) and thought to myself yeah right. I would eat every dessert in sight if that were to happen. It was all or nothing. I made a calendar and decorated it and numbered it to 100 to see where the end would put me. September 24th. Wow, I didn't know if I could handle that because seriously, I LOVE food. As many of you know, treats are my downfall. Cookies, cake, ice cream, you name it. I just love it all. Also, it is summer. Treats are in their prime. Holidays, birthdays, just eating them because you want to. This was not going to be an easy thing to give up. Alas, I bucked up and acted like a big girl and set a new goal for myself, one that I will see through to the end. So, here I am on day 12 and it is HARD. I haven't had Diet Coke in 12 days. 12 days people! I swear that is a new record for me. There have been many times that I pass McDonald's on my way home and think...ahh man that dollar coke sounds so good right now. But, I have resisted. The more days I do it though, the easier it has become. This will play out to be an interesting summer, but I am excited for this new adventure. Only 88 more days to go. Very doable I say.
So, so long my chocolatey goodness friends and Diet Coke. It has been fun while it lasted, but it is time that we separate for awhile. Don't worry, I will be back, but I want to show you how I can resist your delectable tastes for a bit, but come September 25th, you shall be mine. Costco 7 layer chocolate cake-I will eat you as well as your delicious cookie friends who are always next to you on the table.
And maybe, just maybe, I can justify getting myself some of these babies. You have to have and end goal in sight, right?
I also love otter pops, and it is summertime. Is that considered a treat? We shall see......
