    I crave chocolate when I am a bit depressed. Just have some! I like dark chocolate because it's hard to eat too much of it at a time. But if I do finish the whole bar, I think well at least I won't be tempted tomorrow, and I go running or something. As the french say "the best way to resist temptation is to give in".

    If I have calories, I eat as much chocolate as I can fit. Yum, chocolate. If I don't have a lot of calories left, I make a hot chocolate with Hershey's baking powder and splenda with 2% milk. I can have a big mug of it for around 100 calories and it's pretty satisfying. Chocolate powder has very few calories and you can get a nice dose of pure chocolate in there, and it's warm and comforting.

    Is there a reason you are completely banning chocolate? A small chocolate-y treat (small bar, scoop of chocolate ice cream, some dark chocolate etc) does not have that many calories. I would go ahead and eat.

    Hi, if it were me, I would have a bar of chocolate, but make it the most delicious one that you can imagine. In the past if I've craved dark chocolate but haven't got any in the house, I would start to eat the kids lunch box treats, nope that didn't hit the spot, so start eating the hot chocolate from the tub, and nope still not fulfilled! I guess what I'm saying is, don't eat all around what you desire, buy it, eat it and move on! Good luck xx

    9lbs in one month. I'd want to eat everything in site if I'd been cutting that much!
    Congratulations.
    If you find you are craving food, have it. Log it, have a maintenance day.
    I get starving in the few days leading up to TOM or if I've been over cutting.

    Enjoy that lovely choccy

    Well DAMN!!!! I may just have that stupid diet hot chocolate.. it's basically hot water with a smidge of chocolate.. 25 calories. UGH

    That is my goto for chocolate cravings!!! Pickles for salt cravings. Ha. Seriously though, try the magnesium. Also, you have lost 9 pounds. That is awesome. Maybe take one day where you chill and eat some chocolate, but log it? I still have quite a few pounds to go myself, but I always let lose a little on the weekends, and have an item or two of naughty food.

    The other day I ate 600 calories worth of chocolate. Totally worth it. I just fit it into the weekly plan and it was no biggie :)

    What did you have? Just curious.

    During my time of the month I crave chocolate, usually 1-2 days. Last time I just ate at maintenance that day and had the chocolate. It was gooooooood!

    A chocolate bar and a half from trader joes. Ate it through out the day on Sunday. Not something I usually do but since it fit into the day, I kinda of made an exception that day :)
