The 2nd truth about Kasia. Sweet like chocolate

Ok, so basically that's all I wanted to write tonight... Joke:)

Just wanted to start in a melted, oh pardon, in a smooth way...

I am addicted. Yes. I admit. This is more than "just" love. I think it's mutual. I love chocolate, chocolate loves me. And hips don't lie.

Since I remember, sweets have been always in my life. Always. The magic drawer full of buiscuits in my grandmother's kitchen, sweet Saturdays at home, candies in pockets, chocolate bars at school, cakes when visitng my friends... When I was in a fantastic mood- something sweet as a reward! When I was down- more sweets to feel better...
Terrible, TERRIBLE eating habits I experienced when I was young, unfortunately grew along with me. Adult Kasia had exactly same system of rewards- sweets for bad mood, sweets for great mood. And once again, hips don't lie.
I thought it is something normal- like eating creamy cakes, pastries, cookies, bars everyday. Everyday. Sometimes few times a day. Now I know it is not normal.
I realised something is wrong when started buying "something sweet" only for myslef. I didn't want to share "my goods" with friends, family. I wanted to keep all for me! For me only.  I was avoiding other people when eating, didn't want to hear their comments etc... This is absolutely abnormal situation. Now I know it.

Once I decided to reduce my weight I knew that the hardest part of my journey is called- chocolate. Like a wild animal, I had to put my addiction into a cage, close the gates and lose the keys! That was EXTREMELY hard! EXTREMELY.

I was able to accept the calories counting, no problem. I could accept an everyday physical activity. With pleasure. Controlling size portion, changing from "white to brown", adding as much vegs and fruits as possible to my diet- yes, yes, yes. But I couldn't accept loss of my tastiest friend- chocolate....

In my head there were doubt and the question marks- why, what for... You don't have to do this, Kasia. Go to the shop, buy what you want, eat it and live your fatty life! Enjoy, this is your choice.

This time I said- NO. I am stronger. I can do it! And I did it.
I was always shopping with someone. Never alone. When was going out alone, I had only that amount of money which was absolutely necessary to buy what I needed, usually a botlle of water, coffee or tea...

Step by step, day by day I felt that chocolate is not "my thing" anymore. Don't take me wrong, I still love it and I am 100% sure I will love it for the rest of my life, but now I can control the frequency and amount of empty calories that I eat.

My weak strong will finally has become the strong strong will. And believe me- the hips really don't lie.
In my case, they always show the truth- I am tall and very shapely (a pear shape) woman... One kilogram more and my hips are shouting "Forget about skinny jeans, Kasia".

Other thing is that since 2011 I have never gained even 0.5 kg!
This is a proof, the argument for the healthy eating habits and physical activity. It works, no pills, magic diets or any other crazy things required.

Just your will, dedication and commitment.

Good night my reader. Thanks for visitng me tonight. Hope to meet you soon.
