meaning of English phrase unclear

The final segment of this exercise to translate is, "my choice was long made!" . I don't understand this phrase, does it mean "my choice was long ago made" or "my choice was made long ago?"

This question relates to:French writing exercise "I've always loved French"

Bonjour Sydney,

I haven't done the exercise but autrefois (in days gone by) or Il y a longtemps (a long time ago)

would be possible appropriate terms to use in this case.

I hope this helps.

Bonne Journée

Jim
