a chocolate sacrifice

This year for Lent, I decided to give up chocolate. If you know me, then you know that chocolate is one of my ultimate obsessions when it comes to desserts. Who doesn't love it?! There are now two weeks left till Lent is over and I found myself having some crazy chocolate withdrawals at work today. My lovely boss put a nice glass bowl on the corner of my desk, which she loves to fill with candy. Up until Lent, the only candy I've seen in the bowl have been Caramel Nips or fruit candy. How ironic that she suddently started filling the bowl with Easter chocolates...Hershey's, Reese's, and Godiva to name a few.

My willpower sure is being tested. I miss the taste of chocolate, but I know it's a great sacrifice that I'm making.

  9. Ahhhhh thats a heck of a lot of self-control..OMGosh! I don't think I could do it! Kudos to you though! One would think I would be able to since I'm allergic to chocolate but Noooooo that does not stop me. My fav is a chocolate molten cake from Chili's....
