If you are like me and you have trouble disciplining yourself when it comes to chocolate goodness, here is a little tidbit I have learned. Basically we have a lot of chocolate candy still left over from Christmas, and when it is just sitting there in the pantry, I eat it all day. I open the pantry door, and that is what I see and it seems tasty, so that is what I grab (rather than granola or something). I’m not too worried about gaining weight and such, but I am worried about eating chocolate all day and nothing else!
So anyway, one time Pace was trying to hide all our sweets from Chase so he wouldn’t see it, and Pace also wouldn’t tell ME where it was hidden. So naturally, I had to seek it out, and I eventually found it in a closet. But the thing is, I kept it there because it wasn’t quite so accessible! So this is the idea: You don’t have to have NO candy in your house, because that would be terribly torturous. Just put it in a spot where it’s not staring you in the face, and it’s not as likely to be consumed on such a regular basis. Hm, I think I’ll go have some chocolate now.
