A moment on the lips

I'm a somewhat happy go lucky 30 year old lass with a big round belly and fair distribution of fat I've accumulated through years of chocolate munching indulgences.

Oh yes, me and the Coco go way back, in fact we go so far back I think its fair to say ye'old Cocoa and I were bestest of friends. Loyal buddies with a bond so strong it would seam unbreakable! You see Chocky is very loyal and through out my life choclate never failed to be around. No matter where I am. No matter how I feel on the spectrum wheel that is my emotions. Looking back over my life chocolate has always been there with me, every step of the way, the whole entire time!

Weather my days were destined for bouts of delirious happiness, nervous stress, tear stained sadness, depression, ecstatic highs, deep lows or on the very verge of breakdown Chocolate never failed in it's loyalty to me and the dedication I returned was second to none. Yes, it’s fair to say Chocky was my loyalist friend. So loyal in fact it sticks around long after it needs to! Long after its delicious highs have faded and there in lies the problem.

However my Chocky pal who has seen me through the best and worst of times in fact isn’t at all what it’s cracked up to be…Despite its seemingly magical powers over me, despite its hyponastic beauty with its shiny, sparkling 'Willy Wonka' wrapped dreams, smooth sweet texture, deep sensual taste and it’s drug like, orgasmic promise of out of this world ecstasy.... It will only let you down and leave you feeling totally used! Well after Chockys addictive highs have faded from the lips and all is but a memory, a big fat reminder with a souvenir on the hips. Once your Chocky buzz has gone. Gone and left you feeling low, you’ll have its after effects to deal with for a long, long time…

It’s fair to say that I've become quite successful at storing fat! Very successful in fact! I’ve actually done so well in gobbling up Chocolate and storing it’s fat that if life’s successes were measured by my chocolate munching ways I’d be in for a noble piece peace prize type award in chocolate eating for my never failing dedication to the er..treat.

But life is just not like that and if I don’t wake up and put down the chocolate now, it will get the best of me. So I need to break the illusion, see through its false image and break the habit….

Chocolates not your friend. Repeat ‘CHOCOLATE IS NOT YOUR FRIND!’ Revelation? In reality Chocolate is actually an evil (EVIL) and highly addictive pile of fatty packed crappiness all wrapped up with a ninny, no minute artificial gleam of happy releasing endorphins to keep you going back for more. That’s 99% fatty crapy and 1% feel good buzz for a few seconds (SECONDS!!!!) How fair is that!!!! Not fair at all when you compare to 100% feel good facture in healthy eating and exercise…with the benefits of health AND beauty! Now that’s real power!

So Beware! Chocolate is the master of disguise full of false promise!
You’ll find it all wrapped up and smiling at you pretty much where ever you go. It comes in so many sophisticated and attractive disguises that it’s unreal… watch for those lovely looking home made cake’s with a cherry on top which looks so pretty and innocent….how could it possibly hurt me!!!! Well it can, it’s actually just a big pile of crap with fat you’ll have to carry around on your tummy for years!!!! Then there are the fruity ones: chocolate with raisin, chocolate orange, chocolate and nuts, chocolate mints, and all there to trick you. To fool you’re taste buds into thinking they taste healthy, how on earth could they be bad! There’s the Organics, fair-trade ‘help the world through chocolate’ stunt….the list is never ending so do beware and have your wits about you. Remember, no matter how pretty the chocolate roll is, it’s really not your friend!

No really! There aint no way you’ll be magically transported to some Bountiful Island or some James Bond type Romeo will creep through the window….and who eats in the bath anyways!!!!....

So that’s the root of my problem. But I am going to change it. Just watch me!
For those of you who are interested I’ve started a mission to revamp my life from the inside out with healthy eating, exercise and the quest to make the very best of my (reluctantly types) beauty. I’ll be documenting my progress right here…warts and all….and I’ll be learning a lot and passing whatever valuable tips onto you.

So follow the blog and be inspired…it’s going to be fun!!!!!
