It might not have the texture of a chocolate bar, but it has the flavour, plus milk is good for me. Bonus: the chocolate syrup tastes like crap on its own, so I'm never tempted to just chug it :) Just a thought if you're having trouble getting over the chocolate hump ...baby221https://www.blogger.com/profile/10728908487350684688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441829093035248669.post-25903326397150909352010-01-19T09:28:34.493+00:002010-01-19T09:28:34.493+00:00Thanks!

If I do have trouble this time, I will keep that in mind though!Stephoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698486709392241165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441829093035248669.post-26497426189413017872010-01-19T03:52:59.885+00:002010-01-19T03:52:59.885+00:00Hey Steph, this is incredibly brave and vulnerable...Hey Steph, this is incredibly brave and vulnerable stuff you're posting. I'm currently the healthiest I've ever been and it was damn hard to get here...so I know the road isn't easy. Have you had your thyroid checked? My mom was almost 300lbs and couldn't loose a thing until finally she met a doctor who would test her thyroid...as soon as she was on meds for that the weight flew off and in a year she got done to 150lbs. She still works at it hard to maintain but it was so much better after she had the support of the medical community (which can be hard to find)...good luck m'dear! ~DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
