Anyone know how to add a link and where to find a countdown timer that google will let me use??

Last Day...

So...

I have 4 and a half hours...

This is my last night of chocolate for a year...

WHAT ON EARTH AM I DOING??????? I cant seriously be that stupid can I? Why oh why did I ever decide to do this???

As you can probably tell, I am have slight regrets about my decision. Well, to be honest, they're not so much regrets, just more slight nerves. I am actually about to give up chocolate for a year. Chocolate is such an important (ok maybe not important but it definitely is something I eat a lot) part of my life and now I'm actually giving it up. It is all for a good cause but still, I never thought this day would come around so quickly. Wow! It's actually here...

As much as I am slightly nervous, I am also excited as well. I'm excited for the challenge that's up ahead. I'm looking forward to the first time I have to say no to something cause it contains chocolate :D I'll feel so...special/important (for lack of better word/s). 

I'm also looking forward to actually having a reason NOT to eat chocolate, rather than a reason TO eat it. I honestly have consumed probably a years worth of chocolate in these last 2 weeks just because I could justify it by saying 'I'm giving up chocolate soon...may as well eat it now!'

Anyway, it all starts tomorrow...wish me luck!!

If you want to donate just donate on-line by clicking the link (which I can hopefully get up and running). I just ask that if you do donate, that you somehow let me know the amount because I would like to keep a record of how much I raise over this year. Thanks y'all :P

Preparations

So...I'm 3 days out from my chocolate free year. Honestly, I never thought this would actually come around so quickly. I came up with the idea of going a year without chocolate back in September and I wanted to start straight away. Only problem was it was about 2 weeks out from my birthday and I didnt want to not be able to eat chocolate on my birthday so I put it off until after my birthday AND my dads birthday :D I know, it was a little slack of me. 

November 1st really had no special meaning behind it except for the fact that it was after my birthday, after dad's birthday and was easy to remember. I cant believe its so close now...only three days away.

I have been preparing myself for this for a while now. I have been eating sooooooo much chocolate, I'm pretty sure I have eaten a years worth in like 2 weeks. And now, for this weekend, I have just bought a whole bucket of peanut M&M's cause they are my weakness. They are so addictive. It's a bitter sweet relationship I have going with them. Bitter cause they are sooo unhealthy for you, but sweet cause they taste soooooo good :D Oh, its hard knowing I will not taste peanut M&M's for a whole year!! At least it's for a good cause...

Oh yeah, I should mention, I am also doing this to raise money for STOP THE TRAFFIK which, for those of you who don't know, is an organisation that aims to stop human traffiking. They also focus on stopping child slave labour, especially in the cocoa farms found on the Ivory Coast where most of the world's cocoa comes from. So, if anyone wants to donate, feel free!
