Confessions of a Chocoholic

I love chocolate and there is no way I will ever cut it out of my life completely. So here's how I don't have to: this week I probably had around 4-5 chocolate covered almonds, 3 mini Milky Ways and a weight watchers pecan bar. And I still lost 2 pounds.

If I cut out chocolate completely or sweets, this would feel more like a diet to me than a lifestyle change. The trick is learning to eat in a way that you still get to eat what you want, but in better combinations and portions.

When I want salty instead of sweet, I have 1 oz. of Light Lays Potato Chips (that's a lot - almost 20 chips). Or try this - one mini candy bar with the chips for a 150 calorie snack.

mmmm....yummy!
