Angela's Story: How she is creating her own success!
I have finally found a way to enjoy my love for chocolate through NibMor. Okay, wow.. where do I start.. My life in the past year has changed so much. I was a smoker of nine years quit a couple times for a short amount of time, but always went right back. Well March 28, 2012 marks 1 year of being cigarette free. That was just the start of my 'Take my Life back' challenge. After quitting smoking I packed on quite a few pounds. I found comfort and relief in yummy sweets and baked goods. Seeing how I bake for a living.. it wasn't hard making whatever sounded good at the moment and devouring it immediately after it was cool enough to eat! This went on until December 28, 2011. I saw myself in a picture with my nephews and was completely speechless! I could not believe that the person I was looking at in the picture was me. I knew that it was time to get control of this.. I felt like I let go of one habit and picked up another. I started on my weight loss journey that very day and have never looked back! At first I tried to completely keep away anything that was flavorful, sweet or that I like at all. Yes, I started to loose, but I knew that I would never be successful if I kept it up this way. So I did my research and found something that I thought would work for me. I found loads of great info! The first thing I found was Weight Watchers.. I love the program. It is easy to follow and allows me to still indulge just a bit all the while still loosing weight and being healthy. I started to pay closer attention to detail in what I was eating and the quality of food that I was putting into my body. I love healthy food like veggies, fruits, chicken, fish and nuts .. so honestly.. it was not a hard thing to adapt to.. The one thing I always found myself trying to do.. was to find that one sweet thing I could have, but not feel guilty, but most importantly, that fit into my lifestyle change.. I went to the Whole Foods.. and spent a few hours slowly going through the store and picked up a cart full of stuff that I wanted to try.. enter NIBMOR CHOCOLATE! At first I was a little shocked that the ingredients were so good but along with that .. half the bar was only 3 points!! (110 cals) I surely thought I was wasting my money.. I did not think it would be something that I would be able to compare to some of my favorite chocolate brands. So when I opened it and took the first bite.. with God as my witness the first thing I said was " Wow, this is the best chocolate I have ever tasted!" I thought to myself.. hmm.. I better hide the other half of this in my purse so Mike (fiance) does not find and eat it!! But I feel like I can enjoy this chocolate bar and still be successful! As of today I am at a loss of 37 lbs and I have 60 more to go! It definitely helps having NibMor around! I can curve my cravings while staying on track.. So if I win this contest or not... I am glad to share this with you and I thank you for allowing me some freedom! :)
Sincerely,
Angela Lee
