Flake-ing the flake

Limey and firebrix- thank you for your kind and generous offers. With great trepidation, I must decline. (I know I will regret this several times during the next months) I am trying to quit. I'm going to go cold turkey the minute my current stash is gone. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, and confronting this addiction is necessary. Please send vibes and prayers, I will need them. Your kindness has really touched me and I am very grateful. Love, nani

Its a chocolate bar.. very similar to a twirl but messier as they are very crumbly chocolate. twirls were invented IMHO so you could scoff them at work without getting a chocolate keyboard for your sins!

The most delicious chocolate bar you will ever taste. Creamy Cadbury chocolate "lace" rolled around itself. You can feel it melting in your mouth before it gets there. Just thinking about it makes me feel all "tingly".

Well vibes and prayers I will do in plenty for you.
one thing I have often wondered though.. is it better to taper down and reduce the amount you have daily/weekly until you cut it out completely or just to stop one day and that be it?

Cold turkey is probably best if you can handle the delirium tremors... tapering just prolongs the agonizing side effects. I might have to ask the doc for valium to get me through (or at least keep me from killing my family). Withdrawl is an ugly, ugly thing...

I hadn't had a bit of chocolate until yesterday. I had the most horrendous phone call and was in search of just a little chocolate piece (which normally you can find on just about any desk in my office) and not one piece to be found. I ended up buying a Snickers. It all worked out though because I had salad for dinner.
That Cadbury Flake thing sounds like something I really don't need to know exists! I think my hips and thighs are expanding just thinking about it!

You can do it! If my fat butt can do it you most definately can! BUT here is my little secret - with Weight Watchers you can still have a little bit of chocolate each and every day if you want. If you want to know more about it let me know! It has got to be the easiest "diet" I have ever done! Don't have to give up everything - oh, except McDonalds - no way around that one - that stuff is bad news!

Thanks Karen, I've actually "dabbled" in Weight Watchers before. I have to give up chocolate completely because I will end up using all my points for it. I'm going to just try and eat healthy, and maybe even take a walk.Gonna try giving up chocolate and simple carbs (except for raw sugar in my coffee). I'm gonna try and make my body "do" something for the calories. I really do feel like crap most of the time. Draggin' extra weight and up and down on the sugar roller coaster... that's why I mentioned what an inspiration you are...you go girl! and hopefully - Here I go girl!

I'm here for ya! Too bad we didn't live in the same town - we could be walking buddies! My walking buddy just had a bunionectomy so no walking for her for a while. Guess Elvis will become my walking buddy for a while - it'll be good for him too since he is getting a bit tubby lately! Lazy damn dog!

DAMN! Mel that is FANTASTIC! That is what I am looking forward to, actually allowing someone to take a picture of me. There are 5 pictures of me from the last 6 years and I have the negatives of all of them!

Uh, I don't get it. What's a cadbury flake? Is it anything like the famously disgusting Cleveland Steamer? Hope not.
