I am addicted to chocolate and can't stop.

I remembered reading that our cravings mean something... That we are deficient in a vitamin or mineral. For chocolate it's magnesium. I just googled it and pasted it below. Maybe try adding magnesium rich foods to your diet? And switch to dark chocolate, or I like to make homemade chocolate frozen yogurt with Truvia.

Chocolate.
If you crave chocolate, it doesn’t mean your body has a chocolate deficiency, although I think most people would prefer that. Chocolate is high in magnesium. Cravings for it often indicate that your body is deficient in magnesium, which is a common deficiency. If you’re going to eat chocolate, choose organic cocoa and mix it into a healthy smoothie, or eat a small amount of dark chocolate. Because that is unlikely enough to deal with a magnesium deficiency, it’s also important to eat other foods high in magnesium, such as nuts, seeds, fish, and leafy greens.

Could you incorporate it more into your day? That's what I do. Most mornings I have a chocolate Ensure banana shake for breakfast, chocolate Quaker rice crisps as a snack and cocoa covered almonds as a snack. I also get protein bars that are pretty much all chocolate, South Beach has a good dark chocolate one. That pretty much sets me for chocolate, which I love btw. Not saying I wouldn't love double chocolate layer cake (like all of it) with chocolate ice cream, but I'm making a lifestyle change and this is part of it
