Well, week two of my chocolate addiction battle comes to a close. New things I've learned this week are that I tend to eat chocolate when I either am not eating enough during the day or under stress. I have tried combating the prior with eating larger and healthier meals. The stress is another issue to figure out though. As I sit here writing this post on sunday afternoon, I realize I've gone the entire day without consuming chocolate and no need to either. That tells me that I could in theory cut it out of my life, but stress is a major contributor to why I eat it. Maybe this week I can figure out what it is that I think I feel when I eat it that makes the stress diminish?
I also started to do more research on the good and bad of eating chocolate. I have mostly found articles describing the good impacts of eating chocolate but think maybe I was just looking for the good articles and maybe I should look for articles focused on the negative impacts.
Overall a good week. I've still not yet gone more than a couple days without eating chocolate, but I am getting better about not choosing to eat it and I usually realize it after the fact that something I ate had chocolate in it but it wasn't an obvious ingredient.
More growth in the coming week I am sure. Stay tuned...
