Easter Stumbling Block

My New Year's resolution for 2009 was to weigh less than my husband before the next New Year.

There were two possible approaches to achieve this goal:

1. Lots of cakes and goodies to increase Andrew's weight.
2. Diet and exercise to decrease my weight.

Although I was really tempted by option 1, it wouldn't help my situation in the long run. Shopping for clothes would remain depressing, and my children would continue to out-walk me.

I've been working on option 2. To date, I have lost 9kg (that's about a third of the way there).

The Easter stumbling block was causing me some concern. All that chocolate!

Solution:
I bought myself a "chocolate bunny". When the others were consuming their Easter chocolate, I got out my "chocolate bunny" so I didn't feel too hard done by. My bunny is actually a chocolate scented plush bunny which sings "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've got love in my tummy" when you press it's hand. The best thing is that I will still have my "chocolate bunny" long after the others have finished their Easter chocolate!!
