New and want chocolate :)

ElvenSorceress

Hey I'm new here, but I thought this group cold help me with emotional eating which is a bad habit of mine. For example, just tonight someone I thought I had put behind me came back to play more mind games. I really want chocolate Ben and Jerry's. What can I do to keep from succumbing to that craving?

Is it in your house already? I have thrown things away when they tempt me too much. If not, what about making a plan to "treat" yourself to something else that is not food, such as a manicure or whatever you find enjoyable? Another option - chocolate frozen banana smoothie that is lower in calories (and healthier) that you make yourself in a blender: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=295075 - Yum!
