I figure while I am still so motivated and happy doing as I am, I wont tempt myself with cheats. I worry that if I start having one thing I fancy then I will want more - especially if its the "evil chocolate" and for me I think it is best to eliminate it for now.
I will keep you all updated. Thank you again for the support

Hey Karen,
Choc does not have to be 'evil', in fact there is a substance in choc that has been found to be a fat burner!
I do need my choc fix so here are a few of my 'cheats'
10 g cocoa
Hot water
Splenda
10 ml soya milk (optional) or skimmed milk
Voila-hot choc!
100 g soya yogurt or fat free yogurt
Scoop choc whey protein
10 g cocoa (optional)
I also sometimes just mix choc whey protein with little water into a paste and add a bit of extra cocoa
OR
40 g oats
100 ml soya milk
50-100 ml water
Cook
scoop choc whey
10 g cocoa
Presto-choco breakfast oats!
I also have a few recipes for choc flapjacks/protein bars and brownies I will post, most of these are acceptable earlier in the day.
Hey, this is all about life long diet changes you can live with IMO, why deny yourself some of the simple pleasures in life. I am also trying to find the old fashion baker's choc with no sugar, I have been known to eat that!
Respect
