IM A CHOCOHOLIC

Even as I write this I am LOVING my bowl of fresh organic strawberries drizzled with Dark Chocolate (Hershey's syrup =45 calories/tblsp.) Indulgent and so satisfying--it's only around 100 calories and feels SO healthy!!

There’s rice cakes and on top coat is dark chocolate only 80 calories a piece by element. Very good also I go for more raw organic cocao bc I crave chocolate as well. Go raw has lil squares of chocolate 32 calories a piece I just put organic almond butter on it. So yummy. I’m still searching hope these might help. Also chocolate covered chickpeas!!

I have a chocolate addiction as well. Having one piece a day doesn't work for me. And neither does trying to hide it from myself. Somehow, I always find it! 😋😄🤔

Kirkland (Costco) has several chocolate flavored protein bars that hit the spot for me (Chocolate brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate peanut butter chunk) - all around 180-190 calories. My other favorite for a 'chocolate fix' is Enlightened Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream - 360 calories for an entire pint.

I deal with my chocolate addiction by eating chocolate.

However...
- If possible, I buy things where I can easily separate out 'a serving'. Chocolate bars are just asking for trouble.
- Nairn's dark chocolate chip oat biscuits are wonderful; they give me the feeling of having a chocolate chip cookie, but they're small and low in calories
- Using low-cal hot chocolate can be a more calorie-friendly way of getting that chocolatey satisfaction
- Finishing off a snack time with something nice that ISN'T chocolate can help put the brakes on any binge urge that's been triggered

I hope that's useful to someone

One of my biggest struggles and contributor to my weight gain was lack of moderation with chocolate. Things that have helped me

Not buying large/family sized blocks of chocolate

Allowing either 10-20g dark chocolate or a mini milk chocolate each day

Buying quality chocolate even if it’s more expensive as I’m now eating less and want to enjoy it

If I’m having squares of choc I put it on a little sauce dish and nibble it slowly. I leave the rest in the fridge out of arms reach

I found a hot chocolate brand that I like that’s 50cal a cup so I’ll have that instead of chocolate some days

it’s a little pricey, but when I have the absolute worst chocolate craving I find I’m able to knock it out with chocolate e’toiles from Chatila’s Bakery! So far, they are the BEST (and low calorie) chocolate dessert out there! The top is like a rich chocolate ganache and the bottom is cake. I like to microwave it for about 10 seconds, right before it melts, so the ganache part gets a little warm but stays firm. I’ve also had them frozen and they’re really good! One e’toile is about 180 calories, but in the winter you can order the peanut butter chocolate e’toile from the company. Chatila’s sells it by the 6-pack, but doesn’t package it nearly as good as Linda’s Diet Delites, which sells it by the 4-pack and offers options for additional insulation. Well worth a splurge, I get it every birthday instead of traditional cake now so I don’t feel guilty about splurging!
I've also ordered chocolate brownies from Simply Scrumptous (also sold on Linda's Diet Delites or you can order it from the company for less money in bulk) which taste JUST like fudge and have under 100 calories!!!!

Amazing grass chocolate is good. Plus you get greens and a little chocolate kick
