Easter tricks

I don't know about you guys, but I made a special request this Easter to receive no chocolate because I simply did not need it.

What I came home to, was this...

   Don't look in it's eyes!


So now I have to try to not eat any of this (am pretty determined to avoid that rollercoaster of binge eating). Fortunately, my new "break in case of emergency" saved the day today!

After reading that approximately once a week, a spoonful of Nutella can be consumed as a source of good fats, I developed an ingenious plan!

Whenever I get an insane craving for chocolate, I just have a small small of Nutella. Not only is it giving me a dose of good fats for the day, it seems to really ease my chocolate cravings and stops me flipping out and buying a block of chocolate in haste.

The only problem with this is holding the discipline to only have that one spoonful. I find if I just remind myself that it is a decadent blob of good fats, like avocado or nuts, then that helps keep me in the disciplined mode to consume just a small bit.


See if it works for you!
