Hi, I'm Brittany and I'm no longer addicted to chocolate!

So I left off with the funny vacuum episode  that happened oh so long ago on my journey to be free from the addiction of chocolate.  Lot of things happened since then including getting a new vacuum.  No, I didn't get a new one because my old one smelled like chocolate!  It broke, bummer!   So I ended up being completely chocolate free for 6 whole weeks!  I had never been away from chocolate that long in my whole life!  I ended up not missing it at all until I went out to my brother's graduation at BYU in late April and saw my old love, the BYU Creamery brownie (I prefer the kind without the mint)!  Going to BYU and getting a creamery brownie are quite rare these days so I had to take the plunge and break my 6 week streak.  And guess what...it wasn't as good as I remembered.  I actually didn't really care for it.  I had my family eat the rest of it. Wah wah wah.  So chocolate has slowly creeped back into my life but not at all like before.  I enjoy it once in a while usually only on special occasions.  It was a great 6 weeks.  I learned a lot about natural foods and trying to eat organically.  I worked out a lot and I felt the best I've felt in a long time.  I even had a Dr. appointment during that time to check my thyroid and my thyroid levels were the best they've ever been.  Go figure.  Was it just a good time?  Was it no chocolate?  Was it healthy eating?  Was it the working out?  Was it everything?  Who knows, but it's all about learning and gaining new habits and throwing out the old, bad ones.
