Joanne Smith tried cutting out chocolate repeatedly and failed every time except for one miserable month. She switched to adding healthy habits instead of removing things she loves, and found the excess naturally fell away.
I used to every single year decide that I was going to cut down on chocolate because I always felt like I was having too much chocolate. And I was like, right, that's it now, I'm going to cut out chocolate. Did I ever succeed at that? Never, never. I once succeeded at it for a full month in January, did not enjoy that at all. So I'm more of a, I've gone down the road and I failed at that too many times to the point where I'm a now person. I'm just like, don't take away something that you love just add in more of the things that, that I do love, that I know are good for me. That's the best conclusion that I came to, rather than depriving myself of something that I really love, which was not helpful, because that will just drop away naturally with peace of mind and good feelings.
