    I have a bit of a problem with chocolate, and I need your help!

    I can be having a really good day or even week, eating well and getting lots of exercise. Then usually something happens and I decide I want some chocolate. The problem is that I don't just eat a bit of chocolate and then continue my healthy week, I eat the whole block until i feel sick.

    Does anyone have any advice for me? People have encouraged me to just set a limit and only eat that, which is good advice, but I'm still working on that self control and that doesn't work very often at the moment.

    Any help is very much appreciated!

    What is the something that happens? Is this a way to cope with stress? I think that you should figure out what is triggering this and find a new way to cope.

    Or is this because you are trying so hard to be "good" and then eventually cave?

    Also something to consider...http://tazo.com/Product/Detail/32 is super tasty and doesn't have any calories!

    Try a chocolate protein shake ...I use natures bounty and it's pretty delicious has vitamins and probiotics and not many calories compared to other protein shakes or chocolate bars and it helps with the cravings

    like others have said if i am having a hard time controlling it i dont keep it around. Sometimes i can have that bag of chips.. weigh my portion and be satisfied. Sometimes i cant stop.. those are times i dont keep it around. I can control myself with ease unless its the week before my period. then all hell breaks lose.

    I drink my chocolate. right now I am having a sppoonful of ovaltine in a cup of coffee. the coffee seems to make it seem richer, also hot coco is great you can make your own with coco power and splenda and use your own choice of llowfat milk or non dairy beverage.. the coco powder itself has few calories. its all the fat and sugar in the candy products that are a problem. chocolates origins were a drink used black with chilli .

    I love the taste of dark chocolate. That is why I eat one of these every afternoon. :)

    I'm the same way, so for me it starts with resisting the urge to buy it in the first place. Even if I buy single servings, if I have them in the house it is too easy to eat way too many at once. Then I also satisfy my chocolate-tooth with this super yum all plant-based shake mix. I even add avocado to it in the blender sometimes, and it turns into a healthy chocolate pudding/mousse.
