Time: 8:30p.m.
Setting: Our Couch
Thought: Mother trucker, today is Fat Tuesday!
Emotion: Sheer panic
I had planned to give up chocolate for Lent this year since it has become a daily staple in my diet. But the fact that I didn't have any time to mentally prepare for the lack of delicious goodness that I am quite possibly addicted to, sent me into a bit of a tailspin.
How am I supposed to forgo the Hershey kisses consumed everyday after lunch and dinner? How can I not partake in the unbelievable 'secret' chocolate chip cookies I made for Valentine's day staring me down in the kitchen?
After some consoling by the Hubs, I decided, I'm going to do it. I'm giving up chocolate for Lent. But not before I stuffed as much chocolate in my mouth as humanly possible before bed. Yup, chocolate chips cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, butternut crunch, and a few Hershey kisses were thrown into the mix to try and hold me over for the next 40 days.
Pathetic? Yes. But like I said, I have a serious addiction.
Today I had to remove all the forbidden deliciousness from eyesight. I put it in a large bag which the Hub's coined the name 'The Sin Bin'.
Goodbye lover. I'm counting the days until we can meet again.
Sniff..sniff..tear.
