Journal Entry for April 17, 2008 Mood
Thursday, April 17, 2008

OK so here is the low down you chocolate craving duck fearing…amigos…

I said I would not buy any cheap chocolate or buy store cookies. So far I have not. That does not mean I have not eaten any. Wednesday I had to go to the hospital so they would draw my blood I see my endocrinologist next Wednesday. Afterwards cause it was a fasting draw I stopped at a bakery for coffee and gourmet type bakery muffins and yes “bakery cookie” not store cookie…mass produced cookies…I know it is splitting hairs but I got to hold on to that. I seldom go by this bakery so it won’t happen again for some time. Also someone at work gave me chocolate covered almonds …..I shared but still ate way to many of them…so I can honestly say that while I have kept my goal. I have eaten unhealthy foods twice…then I thought I should be counting all the time I turned it down…like every time I go to the secretary’s desk and I spy her candy dish, or attend a morning meeting and someone brings a treat. Or the one time I went to the store...so overall I guess I have said no more times then I have said yes….which just means I need to say yes to health. Finally this past week I have been sweating like I use to…like change shirts twice ea day sweating…I can feel the sweat running down the small of my back and I worry at work that the back of my shirt will look like I just ran a marathon. Of course I think dang I am feeling soo good couldn’t this sweating just be normal. I finally shared it with a few friends and of course they try to make you feel better by denying its importance. People really don’t’ get what we have. It’s not like I am being all tragic or dramatic about it. But I kept silent so darn long but now when I voice a symptom people dismiss it…either way it doesn’t matter because it will be what it is. It is what it is….the thing is I am not feeling the pain the way I did and for me right now that is most valuable big deal about the sweat right…I can carry and extra shirt around with me… oh and so jokey the stash from the house is gone so the real test is on….

    Pat yourself on the back for all the times you resisted. Wow! After reading about chocolate covered almonds all I want is chocolate myself, now. They say that dark chocolate is GOOD for us.... I do indulge by making my own hot chocolate mix and use the dark cocoa that is available in some grocery stores now. That's how I sooth my soul during my planning period at work. If you think it would help you and not break your diet I'll give you the recipe..... In any case, keep up the good work. Rose

We went to the store and bought some pre made chocolate chip cookie dough. I think I have over done it.
