    Chocolate has no will, but you have. So it's your decision to eat chocolate or not eat chocolate. You can even eat chocolate and be healthy, if you want to.

    Moderation is important too! You can have some chocolate, but not a lot. Good luck! :)

    :D

    Buy dark chocolate 70% or more and portion control

    Chocolate is good for us hun and our mental state, so the higher concentration the less required by the body to get the effect.

    Good luck

    I have done well so far without even going down the sweet aisle. Chocolate should be banned it's a drug lol

    Hi, I will go out and see if I can find some dark chocolate that I like . I tried some before and just didn't like the taste. Thanks for the advice

    Try a smaller company. They are usually more expensive but to me are more enjoyable. One row is all I need for a chocolate fix then.

    Yesterday I was under my calorie target and under my sodium target. I was over my sugar target. That's actually rare. One of the bits of sugar I had was a piece of chocolate. You can fit a little bit of chocolate on a low calorie plan.

    I don't even track sugar because I have no medical reason to. I already track carbs, so I swapped the sugar option in my diary to tracking fibre instead.

    I allow treats like chocolate into my calorie budget every day. For me, denying myself something I love is a sure fire road to failure. :)

    I eat chocolate every day, it's my "thank goodness the kids are asleep" treat ! Fun size packs are great and most are well under 100cals it doesn't need to be loads just savour every bite x

    I agree those snack size bites are a good nibble. I have not had any chocolate for just over 2 wks. Think I will buy those snack size packs and they can be my Thank Goodness for chocolate

    Love chocolate. Love desserts. The beauty of MFP is there are no forbidden foods. Counting calories works. I factor in desserts and all the foods that I love.

    So true. You can enjoy all the things we love in moderations as long as we stick to the calories.

    Real chocolate isn't so bad..Its over eating the processed chocolate that's bad but i usually eat whatever I want within calorie limits including stuff that is considered bad for us like cupcakes,pizza and pasta. But thankfully I've lost 10 pounds but cutting calories and exercising. Www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com has recipes that can help you eat healthier lower calorie desserts,lunches and snacks without sacrificing chocolate in your diet plan. I incorporate her recipes when I have a sweet tooth but want to stay on track or I'm low on calories

    Oh my word!!! That's when I'll have a bit of some chocolate too lol!! I love the Ghirardelli 80% dark chocolate. It's one of my main weaknesses!! Along with ice cream and most other not so good foods! I soooo look forward to my cheat days every week :smile: I must admit, though, that on some days, when my kids have been especially crazy, I might indulge just a little!

    I do this!
    Chocolate, coffee, wine and cheese prevent me from going on a rampage. ;)
