    I "treat" myself to a couple of squares of high quality dark chocolate most days, too. I used to not be able to open a chocolate bar without devouring the whole thing in one go. But this time, something clicked for me and suddenly it's easy for me to eat it a bit at a time.

    It also means I can afford to splurge on the really fancy chocolate, since I'm eating it so slowly. I go to my local high end chocolate boutique and buy a new kind to try every couple of weeks, and I have no qualms over spending $10 or more on a chocolate bar since it's going to last me 2-3 weeks and I'll enjoy every bite. The anticipation of trying something new makes it even more fun.

    It's good to know that there are other chocolate addicts out there. Although even thinking of dark chocolate makes me sad. I hate it. It's bitter and still makes me feel guilty for eating it, so definitely not for me. I have lost and gained weight too many times to count and I feel like nothing workss long term. For now I'm just trying to be more sensible and so to speak "eat my wheaties" before dessert. I noticed that after a well balanced meal I still crave milk chocolate but not to the point that I eat the entire bar/box. Also, it gives me more motivation to workout.

    If you can decouple the chocolate craving from the sugar craving by choosing relatively low-sugar chocolate, that is the best way to go. Dark chocolate like 85% is super satisfying, has the beneficial flavinoids, etc. Works for me! I realize it's rough though. Sugar addiction is oooof hard to break.
