Friday Confessional




I confess -

  • Even though I am sticking to my Progresso soup diet for my meals
  • I am still sneaking in chocolate whenever the mood strikes
  • And that is A LOT lately
  • In fact, even just now
  • I finished off a bag of chocolate chips
  • Not that I ate the whole bag in one sitting
  • (More like three)
  • But, one time I ate almost a whole package of (cooked) bacon
  • Minus the three slices my daughter ate
  • And the single slice I left, because I felt guilty for eating so much bacon
  • But, that's another story for another Friday Confessional...
  • *Ahem* I am supposed to be cutting back on sugar
  • And caffeine
  • Chocolate has BOTH of those.
  • At least chocolate has some redeeming qualities
  • It helps elevate your mood
  • Lowers your cholesterol
  • Lowers your blood pressure
  • It's a great antioxidant
  • So, as you can clearly see
  • They're not just 'empty calories' right?
  • (See how I rationalize this?)
  • But sadly, they are STILL calories.
  • And I just ate far too many calories.
  • (But at least it wasn't bacon.)

  1. Haha, I understand about the choc chips lol!! I ate lunch and went to the freezer for a handful (small handful) of them. But they were the dark chocolate ones so that's a plus right? And you're right, at least it wasn't bacon:)

  2. Love it. Chocolate is sometimes the only thing that makes me bearable to be around :) How is the Progresso soup diet? I've never heard of that one. But now you've made me crave chocolate...

    Thanks for playing!

  9. Good for you for consuming antioxidant and protein-rich (bacon has protein, right?). I rationalize like that too...I ate a whole box of Girl Scout Cookies to support my niece...it's to help build her character and self-confidence! Yes, that's it.

    Thanks for the follow...following you back!

  22. And I just learned chocolate can help prevent heart attacks. So, you are just trying to be healthy in the happiest way possible. Besides, beans are vegetables, right, and chocolate comes from a bean, so I think you are alright.

  23. Chocolate is much better for you then bacon, I agree,lol.

    I might have you beat in sweet calories department on Friday. I take your bag of chocolate chips and I raise you big box of Toffifee. Yep, I ate that baby up expect 2 pieces cause I felt guilty.

    Thank you for stopping by and following.Sorry I am late.

  25. Nice blog! After being in one relationship after another all my life I finally learned to love myself - "Love thy neighbor, as thyself" - we forget that second part : ) I have been relationship-free for almost four years now. I would have never guessed. I whine about it from time to time, but the truth is, it's become a great place to Be.

    I will make it up though at lunch by eating a salad *LOL*
