<human>: I was one of those people who battle daily cravings and I thought that if I had gotten to 5pm that day without chocolate/alternative that it has been a healthy day (with which, I would reward myself with some chocolate).
My exercise habits have always been pretty good, as I have been a regular swimmer and participated in a variety of sports, however I have always known that I would not see results without a change in diet.

Last year I put myself up to a chocolate free month challenge, of which I succeeded, only through the loophole of still being able to consume sweets. This year, a friend challenged me to this month long challenge, closing my sugary alternative loopholes. He put me and a friend up to it and said that the first one to cave in will be subject to a losing punishment. THIS statement alone has given me more motivation and fire than any other half arsed attempt I have made in the past. I have began to realise that just because I see colourful candies everywhere doesn't mean I have to consume them.

14 days in and doing good, I am hoping that making better eating choices will help me see some results in my exercise routine (I am 5'5 and 165F) instead of undoing them with my daily dose of chocolate/icecream.

And I am doing this with accessible chocolate in the house, that I am just ignoring
