My name's Brooke

.....and I'm a chocoholic.

I heard that admitting you had a problem was the first step to recovery, so here I am admitting that I have an addiction! An addiction to that deliciousness that is chocolate!!!!
I realised that I had a 'problem' when I found myself eating a chocolate Easter bunny like it was an apple , eating 2 blocks of chocolate in one week, eating all the left over Easter eggs, the list goes on (disgusting I know!)

I'm trying to think back to when this 'habit' really came to be. I thought maybe when I was a young girl and Mum and Dad used to put their stash on the top shelf of our huge fridge and I used to get so antsy for it that I would make the desperate climb up the slippery shelves to get my 'hit'. Or was it when I was older when Mum could no longer put it out of our reach, so she would buy Fruit and Nut - seriously who likes Fruit and Nut chocolate? Anyway I began to eat it, just so I could have chocolate! Or was it when I moved in with my sister and her husband, where it was like a ritual to have chocolate after dinner - yep I think it was then, the daily dose got me hooked and I blame my sister. No actually I blame her husband who actually got her taking it daily!

Anyway now that I've admitted this big little problem, it's time to go cold turkey! Yep you read right, no easing into this. When talking to my sister last night she suggested this to me so we're both on no chocolate for a week!

Aggghhhh, how am I going to get through!???
