Wow this no chocolate thing is hard!
It's only Day 1 and it's quickly approaching 3pm - that time of day that everyone wants something sweet... You know the time I'm talking about!
Although for me - I would have already had chocolate biscuits at morning tea.. I didn't today and I won't be for the whole month of February.
So, I walked into the kitchen at work and someone had opened the chocolate biscuits and left them there - just LEFT them there.
An assortment of caramel, tim tams, mint slice and montes stared at me with this taunting look in their eyes. Well, not their eyes eyes - biscuits don't have eyes. I wonder if they will once delirium sets in on about Day 5??!? Will keep you informed.
Anyways, so as not to ramble - I didn't have any. Not one. Wanted to - didn't.
Day 1 isn't even over and this is already harder than I thought!
So - if you're reading this - the next logical step is to sponsor me...

I'm a quitter!!
Well, technically I am... Usually I'm not but this is for a good cause!
I've decided to join the Quit for Cancer site and help myself, help others and offer some form of support for all those people out there who have, or have had or may eventually have cancer.
It's something close to my heart - in 2012 my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. An aggressive form. Scary times lay ahead for my whole family. She did the chemo and radiation thing and beat it. An absolutely awe-inspiring and amazing woman my mother is. She beat it and came out stronger, wittier and more beautiful than anyone can imagine.
My beloved Grandad passed away late in 2012 - a strong battler he was too. Cancer finally took him but not before he lived every day as best he could, developed a strong loving family and created memories for us all that won't be forgotten. "You don't have a dog and bark yourself" was my favourite saying. Ah, Grandad :-)
His wife - Gran Gran - just beat a form of bowel cancer a little later in 2012 too. Another strong woman. Amazingly positive and powerful despite all that 2012 held for her.
I am surrounded by amazing people and so I wanted to just give a little back.
I'm quitting for cancer and I've decided to keep quitting until the website stops. February will be chocolate. March looks like soft drink!! For those who know me - this is no small feat. I am a block (a share block) a day kinda gal. I'm a "share pack" just for myself kinda chick.
I'm also going to blog as much as possible during the months of quitting - if anyone is interested in reading
