I do too. I have warm milk with chocolate protein shake - hot chocolate for less than 200 cals. Or sometimes I just have chocolate0

Low calorie instant hot chocolate drinks - usually around 40 calories.
Alpro soya dark chocolate pudding - 120ish calories.
Nakd Cocoa Orange bar - made of dates, cashews and cocoa - 140ish calories.0 -
Does it have to be chocolatey? I've been slicing up an apple and eating it with about an ounce of fresh mozzarella. It's tasty and filling enough as a snack.0

I eat a couple of Dove dark chocolate squares. One piece is some 45 calories or so. It's rick, creamy, and under a 100 calories.0

Try a Nakd bar! Cocoa Loco and Cocoa Crunch are my favourites; these two are just over 100 calores each and they hit the chocolate spot, plus they fill you up because they contain only raw fruit and nuts; so virtuous!0

Usually what I do for sugar cravings is I drink one of those "Ice" flavored waters that I getting pretty popular. They are 0 calories and are only 1$ a bottle. Delish. They come in many flavors.0

Try a Quest bar! They are seriously my favorite thing on the planet; they have tons of flavors (many of which are chocolate based) and they're 200 or less calories. They've also got tons of fiber and are low in sugar. My favorite flavors are: Cookies and Cream, Double Chocolate Chunk, Mixed Berry Bliss, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Seriously though, they're ALL amazing.0

Why not just not think about it so you dont have to have a '3pm sugar craving'?
I like this simple tip. It works for me. I know part of my weight gain was automatic eating. Not thinking about it. I married and he ate a lot.. I ate with him. Once I started paying attention, I realized the habits I had picked up. I know sugar is terrible, but I really need energy. (My iron infusion is next month ). I usually go with a mocha k-cup. I love this comment because he really brings out the simple act of thinking. Recognizing what is happening (exactly as the original post does) and making changes. I even thought yesterday about the outcome 1. I want it. 2. I eat it. 3. I don't reach my goal of gradually reducing sugar to just natural fresh fruit sugars. I only went gluten free 45 days ago, so I figure sugar free is right behind it.
So, since i had some grape jelly for the first time in ages for lunch, I had some grape jelly for my snack too. --- Yep, I am a work in progress. It was half the calories of the k-cup. I will kick it, and meditation on what, why and how will certainly help!0 -
If you're open to trying just about anything, try pinching your earlobes and nose for 10 seconds each. This is apparently rooted in traditional Chinese medicine theories, and has worked for some people. Not sure if it's truly effective, though.0

Quest bars definitely. Or some Greek yogurt with fruit, jam or nut butter.0
-
A 90 calorie browning or granola bar from Fiber One? Even my dad likes these things lol0
