Have a piece of chocoloate. A small one, but with full flavor. Enjoy it, savor it, get every bit of pleasure from it you can. Factor it in your calories and keep going. When I want something that badly and I deny myself, I wind up binging on other things that don't really satisfy. Nothing should be forbidden, just eat it in moderation. You can do it!0

lol...i am the same way.......it's dreadful!!!!!!!!!! I could eat all day long!!!!0

WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT WATCHING THEIR CALORIES MEANS NO CHOCOLATE?!?!?!?!?!
Just budget some room for it. I have chocolate in some form everyday. Chocolate chips to munch on, a couple cookies, or chocolate milk. Have some chocolate. AND LIKE IT! It's not going to make you fat if you eat a kit kat. It's going to make you fat if you eat 10. Everyday. Forever.0 -
try drinking swiss miss hot chocolate-diet tastes good0
-
I am bad too when it comes to that! LOL i eat sugar free fat free pudding it does the job! with skim milk0

Yes, I agree- HAVE ONE! Depirving yourself of every little 'treat' will make you spiral out of contorl one day! Treat yourself & It's exactly that, a treat, not something you have all the time. Have a piece of chocolate, it will not kill you. Preferably dark chocolate if you can!0

LOL same for me this week! I had some 70% coco green and blacks dark chocolate melted over strawberrys last night. Worked a treat and low call! Lindt does some dark chocolate bars with crystalized ginger or chill or cherrys in. Just a couple of squares is good since its such a strong flavour.
Or 'Options' Hot choc has some amazing flavours 33 cals a mug or there indulgence range at 40 cals a mug.
Can you tell I have felt your pain this week too? :P0 -
I have your answer - Quakers Rice crackers chocolate flavour. 18 pcs only have 140cals (or around that) that they satisfy my craving. Or if you work out on a regular basis, buy protein pwd - you need this anyway to build muscle and they have choc flavoured ones. Totally satisfies me - its like drinking a choc milkshake. Hope it helps and keep strong!

i know im being silly and i see what u mean/ i will try and factor it in!0 -
I buy weight watchers chocolates, they just come in bags and I try to eat only one when I want some
or Diabetic chocolate (sugar free) has about 80 cals less per 100g0 -
If you want chocolate then eat one with a higher percent of coco in it, 72% the darker the better. In small amount it is good for you It helps with mental health, do the research.0

I have 2 suggestions:
1. Get some Deep Chocolate VitaTops. They have them at grocery stores and costco. They're frozen, but you pop them in the microwave for 45 seconds and its' a warm gooey brownie. They have 100 calories and contain about half of the RDA for vitamins, have 9 grams of fiber too. They're so satisfying, I have one every morning for breakfast.
2. Eat chocolate. Eat your favorite chocolate. Just be sure to log it and work it off. Don't deny yourself what you want because that won't be a lifestyle you can live forever. This is about learning how to live the rest of your life without gaining weight back. Do what you need to do, just do it smart.
Good luck!0 -

thank you my kindred spirit! lol! i have no restraint when it comes to choc so have had to go cold turkey but i have to cave in and have a tiny bit! i like the options but it doesnt hit the spot if u know what i mean?0 -
I keep a bag of mini chocolates in my freezer (Dove brand in U.S.). Eating it frozen by letting it melt in your mouth makes the flavor last longer. I can have a piece everyday if I want and count the calories. I agree that depriving yourself is going to make you binge. Good luck!0

There are so many things you can have that are low-calorie for that chocolate craving. I literally eat chocolate everyday...Here's some of the things I go for....
NO PUDGE BROWNIES (It's a box mix you add 2/3 cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt to...only 120 calories a brownie!)
WEIGHT WATCHERS ICE CREAM TREATS
Piece of dark chocolate (small)
Low-cal chocolate chip granola bars (Try quaker 90 calorie)
Special K chocolate cereal
Peruse through your cook books...i know my better Crocker cookbook has a chocolate chip cookie recipe with suggestions on making it lighter...like only 90 calories a cookie lighter!
There are tons of low-cal chocolate recipes.
Have at it!
And if you end up going over your calories, don't beat yourself up. Just get right back on track tomorrow!0 -
I think most of us women are the same when it comes to that time. I have a bottomless stomach during that time and chocolate is one of the things I crave the most. Have you tried the 100 calorie snack packs like chocolate covered pretzles? They are so good and if you eat them slow they are so satisfying!! Enjoy your chocolate and dont deprive yourself. You are allowed to have a treat daily. Just keep it small and you wont have anything to worry about. Hope your feeling better soon.0

Dude you are my new bestfriend0 -
My advise is to not deprive yourself. Every time I have deprived myself, I have ultimately ended up over indulging which is not what you want to do. Give yourself a treat and just make sure that you ration for it. I have discovered that is the key to success, or at least my success. Good luck on your journey.0

Nestles dark chocolate chip morsels. I have a few of these every day very low calorie for a few chips!0

For goodness sake have chocolate! Just make sure you integrate it into your meal plan. My everyday breakfast is a cup of skim milk with splenda and unsweetened cocoa powder. And If it's not enough I repeat for afternoon snack. It's creamy, filling, and satisfying. Who said you could not have chocolate while trying to lose weight? It's all about measuring your quantities and calories.0
