    Why not start making chocolate protein smoothies? They will fill you up AND give you that chocolate taste! I recommend Tera's Whey brand. Pretty expensive but it uses real dark chocolate and only has a few ingredients.

    Switch to dark chocolate...and find a good one with at least 72% cacao. Let it melt in your mouth a little at a time. The flavor will blossom and be so exotic. And the lovely thing is....it helps bring your blood pressure down, and is crazy high in antioxidants. Candy that is GOOD for you. Really good for you....not that processed huge corporation HFCS junk.

    Maybe reward yourself if you go one 24 hour period with the mindless candy nibbling, reward yourself with a sweet treat you can savour and enjoy.

    No one can stop you but you. It takes willpower. I know you heard it before'; Bring a baggie filled with fresh veggies, nuts, low fat yogurt or popcorn to munch on. Think before you reach. Good luck:flowerforyou:

    I am a chocolate adict. I know this. If it is in my house I will eat it all. If I don't buy it I will end up getting irritated and unhappy until I either go get some or my husband does. But I have learnt how to get around it! : ) I have learnt to tell myself that I CAN have it when ever I want it, as long as it fits into my calorie goal for the day. I have learnt pretty quickly that if I want dinner, I have to find a way to get chocolate with less calories. I buy fibre first bars with dark chololate, 7 grain bars with chocolate in them, and my favorite is Source Dessert selection yogurts that come in yummy flavours that satisfy my cravings and they are only 35 calories each so I can even have 2 if I want. This has helped me drastically - I have't bought a chocolate bar in over a month - which was unheard of for me who used to have about 8 a week! They key for me is to make sure I am not thinking I can't have it, that's when things go bad. Knowing I can have whatever I want if I choose it really works for me. I hope this helps.
