Adele decided this was a good idea for us for 2015 as well, so I'm having to get my choc-fix either at work or by smuggling it into the house.   :(

Glad to see you've joined the ranks of secret chocolate gobblers lol

It's been surprisingly easy so far. Think it's just a question of changing habits.

How does swapping religious orders help?

Cheers Matt. A Centurion always brings on a smile!  :D

Well, if you leave the Templars you don't get burned as a heretic, and if you're joining the Hospitallers, Franciscans, or Domenicans the uniform is easier to keep clean, if you're secretly vain about that. There are certain benefits to joining the Holy Lunching Friars of Voondoon too.

Just take it a day at a time and it'll get sorted.

Hint: Choose an order that wears brown robes then the fallen bits of Flake won't show.

Chocolate, although I am partial wouldn't be worth a Lent type give-up for me. Now if you start talking about giving up drinking tea, then that's a definite non starter!

It is indeed about changing habits. I changed some of mine after a warning about blood pressure in November and the results have been very positive :)

Hope the thumb gets better soon and remember Pendraken has some new Centurions planned ;)

I got sent home from the Doctors with one of those home Blood pressure monitors and had to use it three times a day for 2 weeks  as the Dr thought it was a little high when I went to see him

The result was that it was completely normal

I really only eat Green & Blacks 85% chocolate these days. Some reports say it's good for you in the same way as wine, others that dark chocolate is bad for you :-\.

It's funny when you give up chocolate you realise how much of it there is out there.

..... and that would be because .... you've given it up?  ;D

Chocolate is bad for (old) dogs anyway.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I hate to say it, but I really enjoy chocolate less than I did twenty years ago (never mind the "road to Damascus" moment that was my first encounter with Belgian pralines in my teens, when I knew eating these was what I was born to do). I could give it up with only mild sorrow these days.

Agreed. Long gone are the days when I'd polish off a whole Cadbury Dairy Milk bar in one go.
