If you haven't noticed the rapid weight loss on myself or my bff Samantha Jane Biniker, TAKE ANOTHER LOOK and I will tell you why.  For the past several weeks, also known as Lent, not one drop of chocolate, donuts, cake, ice cream, or cookies have passed through our pretty little lips. 

To quote Elaine Benes:

"Trying to fill the void in your life with flour and sugar and egg and vanilla?  I mean, we are all unhappy.  Do we have to be fat, too?!"

I can speak for both of us when I say we thought it would be a lot harder than it's been, although we have been tempted with a few birthday parties.  Personally, it seems that all I had to do to stop eating this kind of stuff was to NOT BUY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.  Wow, I am saving money and my hips?  Nice.  Let me tell you, if I was still under the roof of dear old mom, I'd have some problems because she has some chocolate hoarding issues herself.

There is a point to this nonsense.  Another one of my temptations arrived a couple weeks ago in the form of a purple box labeled SAMOAS.  I have been smelling them recently.  This is what I have been reduced to.  Smelling cookies.  Moving on, as I was surfing Craig's List, I found that I am not the only one hard up for some Girl Scout cookies.

Unfortunately, I can't help this cookie-less soul out, as I am only stocked up on caramel and coconut deliciousness.  Can't wait for Sunday. : )
