Postpartum Cravings (or “White Knuckling it is SO Yesterday”)

Today is the dawn of a new day.

Since having the baby 5 weeks ago, I have been doing quite well on the food front compared to my last pregnancy. I’ve been eating lots of crispy, green salads, drinking plenty of green juice, treating myself to plenty of delicious coconut water (my latest obsession), and enjoying a daily green smoothie.

Unfortunately, I’ve also been indulging in quite a few chocolate covered almonds. A few here, a small handful there, and suddenly I find a full-on chocolate dependency has been born in the wake of our family’s newest addition!

So… this is it! For the record and all to hear and hold me to… NO MORE DAILY DIPPING INTO THE CHOCOLATE ALMOND BAG.

It won’t necessarily be easy. That tempting, creamy brown, shiny plastic bag beckons from the top of my mother’s dresser, day in and day out – though I can’t blame her, since this latest bag was my own purchase – but, I know I can do it!

As of tomorrow… we’re cutting back on the chocolate. WAY BACK!

I’ve got a lot of extra padding to shed, and the only way to do it is to grab the bull by the horns, make the decision, and get on with it! A little EFT might not hurt either!
