    next time you want chocolate -

    get naked

    stand in front of the mirror

    like what you see? eat the chocolate

    dont like what you see? dont eat the chocolate

    Dave, does this work for all life decisions?


    Jenbo, go for the good dark stuff. A small piece will satisfy your cravings. :flowerforyou:
  • Although I absolutely LOVE Dave's answer, what i've been doing that has helped me a ton is I keep a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the freezer and then take a TBS or two out and munch on them...slowly. I don't just pop the whole handful in my mouth at one time, kinda defeats the purpose. But those little guys aren't that high in cal. if you eat 1 TBS, and they fix that dangerous chocolate crave!

    If you tend to overdo it when giving yourself just a liiiittttllleeee tiny treat...then I suggest you give yourself one week with no chocolate. Just one week. When you start craving chocolate, pick up your favorite fruit and enjoy it. Stop thinking about chocolate. I swear, it puts us in a hypnotic trance.

    Just one week without it. Works for me. My cravings go away and I stop thinking that I need it, just a bite, every day.

    its a trick to get your priorites in line with your goals..

    another solution-

    get naked again -

    take your piece of chocloate and scotch tape it to your hip-

    like that look? pop the chocolate in your mouth and wait

    dont like the look? throw the chocolate away..
    (p.s.- if you pop the chocolate...remove the tape first):smile:

    Interesting. y_thinking.gif

    So, if I'm thinking of having a sub for lunch, should I tape that to my hip before making my decision? If so, what kind of scotch tape would work best?
