    How kind of you. Thomas, to google things for me! I am truly touched that you did, thank you!

    So drink lots of liquid and stay warm. I just sat by the fireplace after returning from the cold outside.

    Mollie: I used to think that if I eat all the chocolate I wanted (in the form of German chocolate cakez), I will satisfy my craving and stay away from chocolate and cake and all forms of carbs.

    It never worked for long.

    It’s about relaxing extremes and going with Moderation. Not extremes.

    I am okay now with having a bite or two. A small ootion of chocolate (100-150 calories portion) once a week, let’s sat, and savor the taste and feel of it.

    Once I was so extreme about no fats and no carbs that I made myself sick.

    Moderatio is key, control through reason and moderation, not through desperation and extremes.

    About sitting, there was a saying. Z,z”sitting is the new smoking’- get up and walk around every chance you get, walk or stretch.

    Thank you. Mollie for your kind words. May your new year be that of zzModeration and Patience and Calm.

    Hi Thomas and Anita,

    Thank you both so much for your replies and Thomas, please never apologise for cutting in. I’m grateful you are here!

    Yes, it is extreme, and it may not work, but I am going to just make small choices every day that future me will look ahead and be proud of and past me won’t ruminate on. So maybe it won’t always be T-total, but I have given up chocolate and cake for lent before, and that went okay. It is only temporary until I find myself to feel more comfortable around that kind of food. I will not, however, be punishing myself like I have done in the past. If I slip up or make a choice that isn’t fully aligned, I will smile, dust myself off, and tell myself don’t worry, the next one will be better. ☺️

    I wish you both a wonderful year.

    ♥️Mollie

    Hi Mollie:

    Thank you! What a delightful Jan 1, 2026 message to read. To not punish yourself is key. Whenever you feel that you are disappointed with yourself, angry at yourself perhaps, redirect to => empathy for yourself. Treat yourself like you would a child who is upset- comfort her. Tell her it’s okay to make mistakes, that no one is perfect.

    In regard to quitting chocolate or carbs, there’s no one answer fitting all. Do what works for you individually. If adjustments need to be made over time, make them when needed, one step at a time, one day at a time.

    🩵 Anita
