2012 year of overcoming your Chocolate Addiction!! Yahoo!

January 19th, 2012 Author:

Dearest Chocoholic,

First of all, Happy New Year! I wish 2012 to be your best year ever!

I wonder whether this will be the year when you will be ready, willing and prepared to take your addiction to chocolate seriously and really really look to overcome it using whatever ways feel right for you?

I know when I decided to take my own addiction to chocolate seriously, I did feel rather scared and overwhelmed about the possibility of it actually both working and not working as I had honestly become so used to it having such a hold over my life I found it pretty challenging to see how I could actually imagine my life without it. It had quite simply become a ‘painful comfort trap,’ that I often felt stuck so stuck on this seemingly relentless addiction to chocolate, even though often hardly experienced the taste of it, as I just had had so much of it!!

I know chocolate addiction can affect each of us very differently, from affecting our self-esteem, self-worth, stress levels and even impede our ability to go about our daily activities as dramatic as they can sound, it can actually be that challenging…

I would very much encourage you to listen to your hearts this year and really go for what you want and if your addiction to chocolate is stopping you or slowing you down then go for ways to overcome it; be it with my Chocolate Rehab Programme or  any other method that you feel attracted to, as life is all really about making yourself happy, following your heart, and absolutely feeling good about yourself and creating and having a meaningful life with meaningful relationships and if your addiction to chocolate is preventing or limiting this then you deserve to made the conscious choice to transform your life to realise and manifest all of the above! You are so worth it lovelies x

I would very much like to invite you to post on the blog, questions which  I will happily answer here about overcoming chocolate addiction or indeed about chocolate rehab, as I intend to answer one of these a week!

For me, your chocolate addiction is really about fear and love and choosing to follow which one of these. The more you ‘feel the fear and do it anyway,’ about overcoming your addiction to chocolate and face your own feelings and fears the easier your life will become and the less hold your addiction to chocolate will have over you!  If you want ‘virtual hand-holding,’ through this process then you can sign up for my chunks of Chocolate Rehab, from  just ten British pounds per chunk!

 

Whatever method you choose, do it for you, for your happiness, do it to honour yourself and demonstrate to yourself just how much you love yourself and treasure yourself!

Much love, giggles & light,

Carrie xxxx

You gotta feel to heal!

November 23rd, 2011 Author:

Dearest Chocoholic

Sincere apologies for not writing to you any sooner! It’s been all change here some ‘forced’ which on reflection have been very healthy albeit rather challenging at the times! Not to worry life happens and the more we face our issues and our feelings and fears the easier life becomes is how I feel:)

Only 31 days to go until Christmas and quite honestly I have not done anything about it yet… all gud as I know what I am going to get and for whom so it is just a matter of doing it! I have my Christmas card list to write and then my Christmas cards to invest in which without a shadow of a doubt will be from my friends Sue & Rich’s charity-www.animalhealingtrust.org as they have some absolutely stunning and uplifting pictures of their 24 horse.. omg.. you’d love them..so beautiful!

So, back to you:) With anything in life the more we face our feelings the easier life becomes as the role of a feeling is to be felt and often we can be particularly challenged by facing our feelings especially those of a negative nature! I know I can be! We are human after all and sometimes we can all forget this and’ beat ourselves up’ for not being able to move on quickly or transform our lives at the pace that we desire! Sometimes it absolutely is a matter of facing your feelings and fears with oodles of self-love and self-compassion as often we have oodles of love and compassion for others and hardly any for ourselves and we allow our egos to punish us for feeling low, negative or even depressed!

The more you feel you feelings the quicker they can move on so this is particularly important for the negative feelings you might be experiencing being a chocoholic! By becoming more conscious and aware of your feelings around your chocolate addiction you will be able to identify patterns and issues which you can start to address and fully face; as you do this you will find in time that you will become less addicted to chocolate! I know this might sound at the moment to some of you like a far-flung fantasy but trust me it can absolutely work for you!!  For example: you might feel lonely so as you start to become your own best friend and look at the multitude of ways of making yourself happy and honouring yourself and your gifts as well as tapping into higher realms which for me are with the spiritual realms you will likely feel less lonely and more comfortable in your own skin!!

For some support with this you can sign up for my Chocolate Rehab self-coaching chunks which will walk you through the Chocolate Rehab process on chunk at a time at your own pace as I will not be personally coaching you; you will be doing that yourself under my guidance and coaching via the emails which will be delivered to you throughout each chunk! I have decided also to offer until 31.12.2011 the free option of having the opportunity of emailing me three questions about your chocolate addiction per module at no extra cost to you!

Here’s the link and the benefits of the Chocolate Rehab self-coaching chunks!  http://bit.ly/gSM7pC

and….

Here’s a reminder of what benefits you could potentially gain from the Chocolate Rehab chunks of coaching:

* You will be guided by someone who knows just how you feel and has been there and has overcome her decade-long addiction!

* You will be able to pace yourself according to your own needs and your own lifestyle, so it can potentially be a very liberating process for you!

* You will be guided to face your feelings and fears around your addiction to chocolate, in safe, secure and also very private sacred space, which you will create; which will I feel will resonate with quite a few of you, as I know many of your are both ashamed and embarassed by your addiction to chocolate :(

* You will have the affordable option of hiring me for personal email coaching sessions, enabling you to have direct and very private support and encouragement!

* You will feel like a trusted friend is helping you to transform your life from within, with as much fun, laughter and joy as possible( ie I’m the trusted friend!)

* You will feel better and better with each Chunk of Chocolate Rehab and feel increasingly empowered and in love with yourself and your life, provided you keep taking the steps and following through on the exercises:)

* You will come away, at the end of your Chocolate Rehab with a much greater level of self-awareness, self-love and have in your heart such a strong connection with who you are and who you are destined to be that you will, ooze positivity, self-acceptance and love-which is my intention!!!!

 

Any questions just ask me; I’d be happy to help: carrie@chocolaterehab.com

Many thanks:)

Love, light and oodles of giggles

Chocolate addiction and forgiveness

September 27th, 2011 Author:

Dearest Chocoholic,


Wow, all I can say is the magic of laughter knows no bounds, as yesterday I set the intention to laugh as much as I could, and believe I laughed a lot and I woke up laughing! Am seriously considering training in as a Laughter Therapist as I feel so incredibly well:) I will let you know:)


Today, I am intent on continuing with the giggles, as I feel it’s so the way forward, with it’s transformative healing powers and also helping me to continue to get my stuff done with the biggest smile on my face, even doing the for me challenging stuff, like structuring work I am writing which for a blonde -dyslexic I find a bit tricky, am getting there with the help of gorgeously-coloured post stick notes, which are really helping!

 

I would like today to chat about your chocolate addiction and forgiveness! Generally, we have all been conditioned to come more from our heads than our hearts so when we make a mistake, offend someone or do not feel that we live up to our idea of perfection, whatever that might be in terms of how we look, what we do, where we live, what we have and how we are, we more often than not actually are extremely tough on ourselves and I am sure that this happens at times with your chocolate addiction.

 

Let me get a bit more explicit here. For example: you ate a number of chocolate bars, and felt down after your initial high had subsided and then you were incredibly hard on yourself afterwards which really did not actually help you to move forward from your feelings as you we re overcome with guilt and ‘punishing yourself’ for what you had done and that is mostly because you are coming from you head more than your heart, as your head or ego is making you just feel worse than you already do without any let up, like ever!

 

Well, where forgiveness comes in here, for me, with your chocolate addiction, or with like anything! Let, me explain:  I am all for feeling your feelings, so if you are feeling guilty or low because of excessive chocolate consumption feel those feelings! What I feel is unhealthy though is  to continually keep feeling guilty, for example, as you will remain stuck both mentally and emotionally and that will not help you to overcome your chocolate addiction, or anything really!

For example: I might say feel very guilty that I have say eaten five bars of chocolate and then punish myself and then I decide to get in touch with my deeper feelings and realise what I really need to do to transform these feelings  is to acknowledge them through noting them  down mentally or literally in a notebook to build up a deeper picture of why I ate the chocolate in the first place, for me it was often due to loneliness, stress and boredom!!!

Chocolate Rehab Tip: I would then invite you to simply connect with you heart and forgive yourself! Simple I know! When you truly do this, it  really works and is really rather powerful to help you through each and every stage of your chocolate addiction! Even forgiving yourself for being so addicted in the first place really really helps you to feel better about yourself, which of course is key to healing yourself and loving yourself and coming out of your chocolate addiction!!

I’d love to know how you get on, so please do let me know!

 

Much love, light and LAUGHTER and as much self-forgiveness as you can muster!!

Love Carriexxx

Chocolate Addiction help

Chocolate Addiction help

Dearest Chocoholic,

 Long -time no post- whoops! Sincere apologies for this I having  being planning out lots of cool and fun Chocolate Rehab workshops close to where I live in the West Midlands, in the Uk. All is exciting, and a little scary, which I feel is good as that for me is a sign that I am doing something that makes my heart & spirit sing which is very important to me :)

So, lovelies, back to you, here is a little post about the importance of having some fun!

When you are feeling trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of eating chocolate and feeling worse off for it, and you have identified through recording how you are feeling before, during and after eating it; I would intuit that many of you would benefit from looking at raising your vibration!

What do you mean here Carrie? Well, by vibration, I just mean your energy, as everything emits an energy, high or low, good or bad and when we want to feel instantly better about something, a great way is to raise your vibration!

So, where am I going with this? Aha, well, imagine you have eaten one too many chocolate bars, felt pretty low afterwards, and identified you true inner craving was for more happiness, lightheartedness, connection and fun! Then, by going out into the world and giving yourself this, will absolutely help you to transform your energy and feel so much better!

Naturally, when you go out with the intention of having more fun, for example, in might not last forever, what it might do is give you an insight into how you can powerfully transform yourself through raising and transforming your vibration by simply having more fun, whatever you deem that to be!! 

Of course, the more you do this, the better, like with anything you will become at it and you are better able to centre yourself and ground yourself with more of it and sustain it much much longer until it becomes who you are much more regularly, ie like daily!

For me fun involves having a good laugh  as many times a day as I can be it with strangers or with my friends! This can involves dancing and singing both on my own and or with others; watching live music and recently pooh-picking- I know-the later might not sound like fun to you, it is just that my friend has a horse sanctuary and a group of us went to help with the pooh-picking and we had such a laugh and we came away feeling amazing! Esssentially, for me I just set an intention to have much more fun, joy and laughter each day now and just see what happens, as I feel better and better the more I do this!!

By just adding a little more love and sparkle and fun into your life it can help you to get more in touch with your feelings, and help you to come much more from your heart than you head so that you can transform your addiction to chocolate towards a feeling of self-love and self-acceptance where you will be much more inclined to honour your gifts, to honour your feelings and  go for what you really, really want in your life!!!!

I trust you have found value in this post, I’d so love to hear your feedback here or via email to me personally: carrie@chocolaterehab.com

Much love, light & giggles,

Carriexxxxxxxxxxxx

chocolate weight loss diet

June 24th, 2011 Author:

Chocolate Weight Loss Diet

Dearest Chocoholic,

I decided that today I would respond to a common question  that I am asked through revealing my feelings regarding the ‘chocolate weight loss diet,’ as I just feel the need!

First of all, those regular readers of my blog surely must have twigged that I am not remotely anti-chocolate as I feel that the more you try to avoid something; especially when you are addicted to it, the more compelling it can become; especially both energetically and emotionally! So, I feel it is important to reveal my feelings to you regarding the chocolate weight loss diet!

For me  as  a coach dedicated to helping female chocolate addicts overcome their addiction to chocolate, I feel that  I could not ‘hand-on-’heart,’ and ethically recommend something like a ‘chocolate weight loss diet,’ for a number of reasons.

Firstly, I feel that the excess weight that someone carries is rarely addressed merely on one level, for example nutritionally. Secondly, if someone was addicted to chocolate, I do not feel it would be healthy or ethical for me to recommend such a diet, even if the suggested chocolate on such a diet was indeed raw chocolate which is deemed considerably healthier than mainstream chocolate; as someone could still be very addicted to chocolate, therefore just perpetuating it even if there were lighter in weight, the same issues could still prevail! Is that therefore a helpful process; only to a degree, I imagine.

And finally,  rarely is it the case that by going on a diet the underlying issues are addressed; especially the emotional ones  which for me is a very significant aspect of the Chocolate Rehab Programme, as I fundamentally believe that emotions are the key to our power and our happiness, both feeling them fully and managing them effectively. I also believe that we are spiritual beings, having a human, emotional experience, so by just looking at  a nutritional level, with a chocolate diet, the weight loss could happen, which of course I am not remotely suggesting would not be a powerful thing, would there be a spiritual aspect to this process; unlikely I feel.

 

So here they are!Fundamentlly, I sincerely  feel that if something works for you, then go for, as at the end of the day you are the best judge, coach and healer for yourself, so if you feel that you are drawn to it and you have had results with it, who on earth am I to discourage you?!!!

My instinct and passion about helping women, in particular overcome their  addiction to chocolate is to help them to address their underlying issues of their addiction; which could be as wide-ranging as low self-esteem, poor body image, lack of joy, love or purpose in their life!

My intention with my Chocolate Rehab Programme is not only help and support my Rehabees by addressing their underlying issues, it is to transform their energies  and self-belief so that they can let go of their ‘weight’ of their addiction, and move on peacefully as they bring their chocolate eating habits into balance. As a result then, my prime intention is  not weight loss; although it might happen it is a deeper sense of ‘weight loss,’ and it could happen as a unplanned side-effect of the rehabees addressing their feelings and need.

We are all different and we resonate with different methods, people and ideas so I just encourage you to go for what feels right to you and you alone!

I’d love to hear your feelings about the above post!

 

Love, light & giggles,

Carriexx

reason for chocolate addiction

June 16th, 2011 Author:

Reason for chocolate addiction

Dearest Chocoholic,

Here in the UK, I am gearing up for Wimbledon next week, as I am keen follower of tennis and I am really looking forward to watching my favourite tennis tournament of the year! I wonder will this be the year Murray triumphs; quite possibly given his recent form at Queens, you never know!!

Okeydokie, so here’s a post about reasons for chocolate addiction,’ as I am often asked why I feel people are really addicted to chocolate! 

For me, there is little logic really, as there is no general view as chocoholics are all different to be quite honest! For example: I remember being in Sydney at their amazing Mind, Body & Spirit event seeg hundreds of people come by my stall, there was absolutely stereotypes amongst them! Admittedly, there were mostly female; and that’s about all that I could say generally about them!

Many of them confided me in their own ‘reasons,’ for their addiction ranging from lack of sex drive, lack of sex, little or now self-esteem or self-confidence, boredom, stress ( one of the most common reasons!!), lack of direction, their only ‘guilty pleasure,’ which they had ‘overplayed,’ ‘the only thing that made them happy,’ ‘what they most looked forward to at the end of the day,’ loneliness, being fed up or or depressed and heartbreak… were the main ones! One lovely lady confessed it was the most exciting part of her day, which  I felt rather sad about:( Another chap, openly confessed that he knew his female friend who admitted to eating chocolate whilst having sex!!  Many confessed to having a ‘romance’ with their chocolate, as they found it easier and safer..

For me, I would suggest that most of their reasons were more emotional than mental! Believe it or not, the most common feedback from both the chocoholics themselves and those who were not chocoholics, as so many people who were not addicted to chocolate came up to speak their mind to me anyway, those confident, talkative Aussies, was that it was assumed that ALL chocolate addicts were overweight! So not true!  Of course, some are, many are simply not; one Aussie opened up to me, about her three hour gym habit to keep her in her skinny jeans; seriously stuff!

Another common assumption made was  that they were all female- partly true, I would say at least 80% were who spoke to me! They cut across all ages groups too, so not typical age group appeal, just EVERYONE, which is really no shocker is it now!

I would love to hear your own personal ‘reasons,’ here on my blog, via twitter, or even via email: carrie@chocolaterehab.com  Even if you just get clear yourself privately in your own journal why you are addicted to chocolate it will absolutely help you to overcome it!

Love, giggles & light,

Chocolate Addiction & Change

Chocolate Addiction & Change

Dearest Chocoholic,

Sincere apologies for the lack of posting recently, I just honestly experienced writer’s block :( Seriously, I did;  thankfully not ‘talker’s block,’ that would be almost impossible!

I would like to talk a little bit today about chocolate addiction and fear as I have been in recent months very inspired by Hilary Phelps, a Fashionista/ lifestyle guru/ motivational coach extraordinaire!

Hilary recently set herself a challenge of trying out a new way of working out for thirty days and tweeted and blogged about it. OMG, that lady is mightily inspiring, and it even made me think, ‘doing a Hilary,’ (making a change) could become a verb  / metaphor as she did so much stepping out of her comfort zone, which as she reported was rather painful and uncomfortable at times!

Her seemingly innate family trait of having a ‘will to win,’ pulled her through some of her most trying moments, bless her soul indeed!( In case you do not, her brother Michael Phelps, is the world best’s Olympic Swimmer!)

( She can be following on )Twitter@HilaryPhelps or found: www.hilaryphelps.com)

How on earth Carrie is this relevant to helping me with my chocolate addiction? Aha, well I figured that perhaps many of you are painfully stuck in your chocolate addiction, and have too much fear to step out of it:( So, I wonder could you set yourself little ‘HilaryPhelpseque,’ challenges to help to do a little something to help you out of your addiction to chocolate?

Well, here are few ideas to help you on your way.

1. Confide in a close, trusted friend or relative your addiction to chocolate, as it is common for chocolate addicts to be enormously secretive about their addiction!

2. Start your own chocolate anonymous group, with a group of friends to help support and encourage you. ( see my article about how to set up your very own chapter here:http://bit.ly/lEVctm

 

3. When you eat chocolate, before, during and after if possible write down your feelings about it and yourself. For example: " I am feeling stressed,  (before)  I need some chocolate. I am feeling relief now, thanks to the chocolate (during). I am feeling annoyed with myself and stressed again as I have eaten too much chocolate ( After.)

4. Identify the common feelings and needs which keep reoccuring in your Chocolate Addiction journal, to see the patterns so you can do something about it.

5. Go cold turkey for a day, or a week, depending on how bad your addiction is, and  record your feelings in your journal! Make sure before you commit to this, you have some people will help you stick to this and support you through this challenge!

6. Identifying at least 10 things which you know will make you happy and then when you have your chocolate cravings do those things, as many of them as you can so that you can deal with your feelings and needs without numbing them or medicating yourself with chocolate.

 7. Phone a friend and let them know what is happening and receive that emotional support and encouragement you are likely to be craving from the chocolate!

8. Face the issues underlying your chocolate addiction. For example: if it is stress-related, start a list of all of your key stress sources and see how you can start to reduce and even eliminate them. Some of them might take a while, so identify some short and easy ‘wins’ to help reduce your stress levels immediately.

 

I look forward to hearing how you get on and would love to hear your feedback!

Love, giggles & light,

Carriexxx

chocolate a gateway drug

May 24th, 2011 Author:

Chocolate a gateway drug

Dearest Chocoholic,

I’ve just had a seriously long sleep, to recover from a fun-filled 5 hour classathon at my local gym in aid of Breast Cancer! It become more challenging as the night went on, and by the time we arrived at Body Balance, I was stepping out of my body and just going through the motions to the five minute relaxation at the end!! Proudly, I did reach the end of it all and I have no doubt that was due to the power of the group dynamic pulling me through! Without support of others it can be rather too challenging to get through things can’t it!

Back to you! I have been called to write a piece on chocolate being a gateway drug, for quite a while now it seems, so here it is!

To start off, what exactly is a ‘gateway drug,’ well it is something that you reach for first when you feel the need of a ‘pick-me-up,’ usually. This could be food, alcohol,drugs, sex, exercise, the Internet, whatever really. Essentially, it is something that you feel that you cannot live without, as your ‘fix’ helps you to get through your day, your week, month and dare I say, your life!!

Food, has often been described as a ‘gateway drug,’ weirdly, chocolate has rarely been described in such a way?!! Personally, I do feel that chocolate is indeed a ‘gateway drug,’ as so many, women especially are ‘using,’ is as a way of avoiding facing their underlying emotional issues in their lives. Sadly, chocolate is rarely taken seriously as being a ‘gateway drug,’ as it is so available, AND affordable and is brought out on so many occassions be it sad or happy that it can easily get laughed off, and ignored, as crazy as this might sounds. For example: ‘ Oh it’s just a bit of chocolate, nothing really to worry about, oh this is just to celebrate getting my job, making it through to Friday…" I am sure you know exactly what I mean here!!!!

I do, then feel chocolate is a gateway drug and I would love to hear your feelings and thoughts on this! Here on theblog, on twitter( chocolaterehab) or even on facebook, or to me: carrie@chocolaterehab.com !

The most common question to me is: " Carrie are you anti-chocolate?" and I respond: " I am not, I’m rather pro helping chocolate addicts balance out their addiction to chocolate, so that they can address the underlying issues of it, such  feeling better about themselves and their lives and their purpose! " "As, I feel when you do this, you find chocolate easier to resist! I am of course aware of many chocolate addicts admitting that they’re no quitters! I’m not suggesting you quit eating chocolate, just balancing out the addiction, when  and IF it feels right for you!!

Love, giggles & light,

comments about being addicted to chocolate

Comments about being addicted to chocolate

Dearest Chocoholic,

Today, I am relieved that our lovely Mister Chilli, our cat, is safe and sounds as he got stuck on our neighbour’s roof last night :( Quite a tramatic experience, bless him. Thankfully, he was able to get down, even if he did slip on to our neighbour’s porch and then was able to come down!

Okeydokie, ladies, today I would like to make a few comments about being addicted to chocolate, for a  change!! 

LOL!

a) When do you feel that you really started you chocolate addiction? Are you able to pinpoint it to a particular happening in your life? For example: the breakdown in a relationship, loss of job, financial stress?  Maybe even a combination of a number of events which happened to you.  You might  have you been addicted as long as you can remember?

b) What do you feel it would take for you to address the underlying issues of your addiction to chocolate?For example: do you feel it might take support from someone who understands and takes your addiction seriously? Or something else?

c) Can you at all imagine how you might feel to be able to resist chocolate and just have it now and again? Or do you just see it as major source of pleasure, escapism, avoidance in your life? Can you then imagine having your feelings and needs met through other means?

d) How would you feel if you just keep on feeling how you feel and just ‘maintained,’ you addiction to chocolate in 6 months time? Would you feel worse, the same, angry, frustrated, depressed?

e) What really is the pay off for your addiction to chocolate? For example is it avoiding facing your natural brilliance, is it avoiding facing your feelings as you are too scared, is it avoiding love, success, fun, or even life? -ie you find it ‘easier’ to keep stuck with your addiction, with your feelings and needs than facing them?!

This mini and mighty blog post, is just to invite you to ponder about these key questions surrounding your addiction to chocolate in order to perhaps stir something up inside of you to actually DESIRE to do something about it, honour yourself and your life and face it; which of course takes courage! I understand. By just taking the first step and settting an intent to do this, through answering these questions and  you can really help to symbolically show the universe and yourself that you are seriously keen to face this issue and look at how, in your own time you can overcome it!

I wholeheartedly look forward to hearing from you here, on twitter, facebook or via email: carrie@chocolaterehab.com

Love, light & giggles,

Chocolate Addiction & Personal Power

May 8th, 2011 Author:

Chocolate Addiction & Personal Power

Dearest Chocoholic,

 Today, I’ve spent a lovely day helping  a gorgeous local animal charity, who have rescued 22 gorgeous horses! Wow, such an inspirational day seeing how Rich & Sue, such lovely people have created such   a heart-felt charity and have such loved, supported and cherished horses, it’s a miracle to witness; takes your breath away! Really! Take a peak: animalhealingtrust.org

Anyway, ladies back to you! Here’s a few words from my heart to yours on chocolate addiction and person power!!

Okeydokie, imagine that chocolate was someone, I know this might feel and seem a bit odd- humour me, and give this a whirl!

Well, so, say chocoate was someone you were having a relationship with, like a friendship, I’m talking about.  So, here are a few questions to ponder about this idea..

How would you feel if you kept on ‘listening,’ and ‘giving in,’ to their demands and their calls on your attention at the expense of listening and dealing with your own feelings and needs?

How might you feel, if you just kept on supporting, helping and encouraging their dreams whilst you left your own ‘alone,’ just unactioned in your notebook?

 How do you imagine you would feel if you kept on looking to ‘this person,’ for love, approval, confidence, happiness and indeed pleasure or excitement; instead of looking at how to love yourself, approve of yourself, be confident within yourself, make yourself happy, and find your own pleasure or excitement?!!

aMmm.. I wonder if this has triggered anything within you at all? 

I appreciate this might sounds and read a little odd, it’s supposed to!

Considering your answers to the above,  I wonder if you can see how your own chocolate addiction is in essence like you giving away your own personal power to ‘someone,’ namely to ‘chocolate,’ at the expense of yourself. When you are addicted to chocolate, often you are eating it, at the expense of dealing with your own feelings and needs, and in the process ‘trashing your personal power.’

How can I look at remedying this Carrie?

To begin with, start to become more conscious of your feelings and needs before you eat chocolate, as you eat it and after you eat it! – see my free mini chocolate rehab at: www.chocolaterehab.com for this!

With a clearer picture you can .

If you are looking to chocolate for love- you can love yourself more! ie by loving yourself, as Bruno Mars, sings,’ just the way you are!!!

If you are looking to chocolate for a confidence boost, you can do something that you know will boost your confidence! For example: you could make that call, speak to that person, apply for that job, do that thing you have desired to do for so long!!!!

If you are looking to chocolate for excitement, what could you do to have more fun in your life? What makes you smile, giggle, and ‘sets’ your soul alight with joy & pleasure?!! Well, do it, go do it!

I’d love as always to hear your feedback!

Much love, light & giggles,

Carriexxxxxxxxxxx
