Life is Sweet



Oh I have wonderful news! I am now eating chocolate again. For those of you that didn't know, I cut chocolate completely out of my diet when Carson was about 5 weeks old. The doctor told me that could be contributing to his fussiness. So, because I wanted him to be a happy baby I made a HUGE sacrifice and just quit cold turkey. It was so hard. Seriously I didn't think I could live without it, but I did. I survived. I have recently been adding chocolate back into my diet slowly. It hasn't seemed to effect Carson. I could just cry I am so happy. I feel like life is so good now that I can eat chocolate. I was not going to even try it until after the holidays were over so that I could avoid all the chocolate sweets that make me fat, but I just couldn't do it. I plan to take it easy, but we'll see what happens.

Oh I AM SOOOOOO SURE....I thought we were going to be in this together. So now I will be the lone non-chocolate eater @ Christmas time. Beans and Chocolate don't mix. But Congrats anyway....I'm jealous!

Oh I remember those sacrificial monhs of nursing my babies and giving up precious chocolate. I can totally relate even though I am a grandma now! It is H-A-R-D! But worth having a calmer baby, right? So glad he is growing out of it and can tolerate it, specially at Christmas!!!

So glad you are able to get back to chocolate that is a major sacrifice and I don't know if I could do it.

So you asked me why we never hang out, i then sent you a day that I was free from school and work and then never heard back from you. What is that about? e-mail me or something and let's make some plans before we get to crazy busy with the holidays. I miss ya and want to meet that beautiful baby in person

Oh and I know that you are all about working out again which I support because I think it is very healthy and important but as for doing it to look better. You better believe that I think you look AMAZING!!! Just wanted you to know.
