The next phase sets in.   The truth of the matter starts to niggle at you.  You start to feel annoyed at yourself as you mindlessly continue to nibble away at the stash before you.  Okay enough is enough you say to yourself…tomorrow is a new day, and I am not going to have any chocolate…I’m going to get on my exercise bike ,and get rid of all the excess calories and toxic endorfines that I have put in to my system today.  Yep… tomorrow I am going to eat only healthy stuff….so that means I had better finish this lot off today, so that I can have a fresh new start tomorrow. 

Tomorrow dawns….I feel depressed not to mention exhausted from all that effort of yesterday.  I wonder again what the hell happened…where did all that chocolate go.  The reality is that  it went down my throat and straight on to my hips.  Oh well the good news is that at least I probably don’t have hip cancer… the bad news is that I feel fat, and I don’t even have any more chocolate left to cheer me up….hang on my husband didn’t eat all of his yet…YES!…. and you know what… its really not that bad for you… some experts even say it one of the best things you can eat when you are feeling depressed…and there is always tomorrow.  Heck it’s not like I do this every day or any thing.  See I’m feeling much better already.  Well…. talk soon as I have to go and find the hubby’s stash….don’t you just love Easter hunts. 

Bye for now as the even BIGGER (but hip cancer free) Mama is signing out (thats if I can still get through the cyberspace door).
