    That's a very skewed perspective! Did anyone (including yourself) get hurt?

    You "slipped up" - it won't be the last time in your life.

    Maybe complete deprivation isn't the way? Work it into your calories and enjoy as a treat would be an alternative strategy.
    please don't criticise me, you don't know me, I'm just struggling with a craving and wanted some advice, i know its not the end of the world it's just chocolate! !!!, thanks

    Make it fit into your calories if you don't want to live without it forever. I eat chocolate and treat all the time and still lose.

    The problem is that once I have a piece I will litrally eat the whole bar!! And then want more, i will try to limit myself to once a week perhaps? thanks hun xx

    You feel bad for eating two slices of Toberlone.... ! (now I want some LOL)

    Make room in your daily allowance for treats like that and enjoy, guilt free :smile:

    It's not criticising someone to give advice that maybe you are setting yourself up for failure.
    Loads of people have trigger foods, including me. I found that including the foods I really want and enjoy into my overall diet has been successful. Moderation not exclusion.

    I don't know you but you asked for suggestions, your life and your choice which suggestions you take. If you think what you are doing is sustainable and makes you happy then carry on. Your own words would appear to cast doubt on that.

    Your words - "I feel like giving up now".
    That strikes me as extreme for two pieces of Toblerone.

    If you are going to eat Toblerone at least make sure you use the correct method when breaking it.

    That should be labeled as chocolate porn... :drool:

    Now I need to go buy myself some toblerone.

    OMG I have been doing it wrong! Thank you for showing me the error of my ways!

    I buy dark chocolate chips. When I want chocolate I weigh out 100-150 calories worth (hehe OK sometimes 200 calories - whatever I have room for). I let them melt in my mouth. Usually by the time my plate is empty I am satisfied with what I had.

    But you didn't eat the whole bar, you only had two pieces. Excellent job! I agree that if you can make room for a little chocolate it can be a more pleasant way to do things. Especially if staying away drives you crazy!

    If you're having a hard time resisting it, then don't have it in your house. I personally find room in my diet for chocolate every day. One of my 'tricks' is to buy high quality dark chocolate chips and have a serving of 15 or so chips (check the bag for serving size)--I make a point of letting them melt in my mouth one by one--usually less than 75 calories and pretty satisfying.

    I’m the same, not just with chocolate. I’m worst with Jaffa Cakes, mmm. Like ZYXST said; break it into serving sizes and put it in the cupboard and once you’ve eaten a serving you’ll think it’s the whole thing. Out of sight, out of mind works for me. I also found an amazing no added sugar dark chocolate that I can binge on and not cause quite so much ‘damage’ as it were.

    Defo try and work treats into your daily allowance. I eat what I like and when I’m out of calories, I stop. Chin up, it’s not the end of the world and you did only eat 2 pieces instead of the whole bar. I can say in all seriousness well done cos that’s a big deal for me too.

    Don't feel bad but I totally understand the feeling of failure with cravings. What I have to do is break up my craving item into serving size snack bags. I take one bag and it usually satisfies my cravings and I haven't messed up my diet, much. Remember, the goal is to eat right and naturally lose weight.
