I cannot resist chocolate... When I see it, my mind just notches. Suddenly Im not myself anymore and all my brain knows is that " I must kill the chocolate".. Nothing is safe in the house when I am there
Anybody else got or had this problem? And what are your techniques to deal with it? How can I stop it and restrain?
When there is nothing at home, I can resist. But I tend to buy and then I cannot just take one piece, I only get my peace of mind again when all is gone
Any advice?

Moderation by excercising will power.0

I get Dove Dark Chocolate Promises and let one melt in my mouth. Very satisfying and only 50 calories.

How about cute little bunny chocolates? Don't kill the sweet bunnies.0

Easiest thing is don't buy it.0

Resist at the cash register.0

Don't buy chocolate if you cannot resist chocolate, not even one bar, not even one piece. I had to give it up for the entire time I was dieting. I have zero will power around it. I still have zero will power but since I am not trying to lose weight I just exercise it off now.0

Pre-package in 24 portions and freeze them.
[edited to add] I just put this in recipe builder and it's 52 calories a serving.0 -
Ive had loads today, yummers.0

I found that by buying high quality chocolate, I can just have a few little pieces and be satisfied. So a 100 g bar lasts a week - so about 100 calories of chocolate per day (some days 0, some days 250)
If you can't not eat the whole bar, then maybe cutting it out entirely would be easiest for you.0 -
i keep my chocolate in the pantry downstairs. it can't be anywhere near me. that's the only way i've been able to have it in the house without eating it all.0

Think of you the meal you could have eaten (which is the same amount of calories as the chocolate bar)0

For me to get over trigger foods my first step was to stop saying I couldn't resist. Then, I learned to plan in large portions because nothing made me want to binge faster than thinking I could only have one bite when there were 20 more right there. I eventually got to the point with my trigger foods that I wouldn't even want my fully allocated portion.
I read one tip to plan to have your trigger food every day for like a month or something and even if you binge on it one night, have it the next night and the next, etc. That worked for me with peanut butter.0 -
I usually make an options hot chocolate, usually does the trick.0
-
Switch to 100% dark chocolate (e.g., bakers chocolate). It's impossible to eat too much of it (well, unless you dip it in peanut butter like I do).0
-
Get quest chocolate protein bars. High protein, low net carbs.0
-
Make chocolate covered strawberries, you can eat quite a few and it will still be a reasonable amount of calories.0
-
Fiber one makes a 90 calorie brownie that is pretty good. If I have the calories, I'll spread one of those with a little peanut butter.0

I like adding cocoa powder to my coffee and having sugar-free pudding or cookies in the house. It prevents me from pretending that I'm helpless against chocolate cravings. If you make it magical by giving it special powers over your mind and treat it as if it will take control of your actions--hiding it away, or whatever--you turn it into something scary and forbidden. As someone said: exercise will power. The chocolate just sits there and exists. You're the one who has to choose to pick it up and eat it.0

I don't know. I eat chocolate every day. Usually in the afternoon. I either leave it in the freezer and bring the amount I want to work with me. Or I buy it on lunch break and leave the remaining bar at work for the next day. Or I eat the whole bar.0

Absolutely have the same affliction. I work around it by eating fat free chocolate frozen yogurt (I love Stoneyfield organic after dark chocolate) It's non fat and at 4g protein per 1/2 cup it's much better than milk chocolate. If you have to have chocolate, buy dark chocolate only.
