Have you had any chocolate lately? :)

dont deprive yourself.. i love, love, love chocolate. i eat snackwells fudge drizzled popcorn (130 cal & 3g fat).. so good!

I have a couple of pieces of dark chocolate a few times a week. You're not doing yourself any favours by denying yourself certain foods, because one day you're going to snap and then binge. I buy the large (250g) Cadbury's Fruit & Nut Dark or the Lindt Excellent Dark bars, and will have 2 squares. Because it's dark chocolate, it's rich. And because it's good quality chocolate, you get immense flavour in a small piece. As long as you count it, you're fine. Just remember, keep everything within healthy portions, and you won't have to do without. Have a great weekend!

Haven't had chocolate in probably two months, maybe more.

Moderation is the key - i was doing some chocolate everyday, but my lactose intolerance raised it's ugly head ... so now I need to watch my milk intake.

But don't "punish" yourself - if you want a treat, go for it, but keep the amount correct for your cals and log it - no cheating. Remember, you are trying to learn how to eat right, but also not make yourself miserable.

I hear your pain my friend...since being on Metformin for PCOS, I've developed a lactose intolerance. I find that dark chocolate doesn't have any negative effect on me. I hope you're still able to enjoy some chocolate! Happy Weekend!

I think the last time I went an entire day without chocolate was in February when I had food poisoning :laugh:

Guilty - had some about an hour ago but in my defence it's all been accounted for so shouldn't make any difference...

A little bit of dark chocolate is actually good for you, just all things in mad moderation. I've also read a study that dark chocolate can actually stimulate digestion, so it may assist in your weight loss endeavors. I usually buy the fresh and easy dark chocolate bars, they come in a three pack, and if you eat just half a bar, it's only 105 calories. Also, if you freeze your chocolate, it makes you eat it more slowly, so you get satiated at a better rate.

I eat fiber one brownies 90 calories or Speciial K choc pastries 100 calories

not daily...but often. My biggest thing in the hot weather was ice cream. So I got mini ice cream bars, and I had one daily...or a fruit popsicle ( I was finding huge bits of strawberry in the strawberry one!)

yesterday I bought 3 snickers PB squared bars, and 2 packs of hershey's simple pleasures. I was a good girl and only ate 1 snickers square, and the rest went in the fridge for another day

I eat dark chocolate every single day!

I think this post is making me hungry for chocolate!!!!!!

I just found frozen dark chocolate banana slices from Dole at Sam's Club. You get four pieces for 100 calories. I find it to be a perfect chocolate snack. And I am not even tempted to eat more than the four. I like them frozen. If you let them thaw a bit they get really mushy inside.

I eat chocolate when I want to - 1 square of Ritter dark - 30 calories - usually once a week. I eat 1/4 cup ice cream most days.

I am planning on keeping this weight off the rest of my life and will be darned if I'm going to become a food nun to do so. Lots of healthy food and carpe diem!
