Chocolate Temptations

Ugh! So disappointed in myself. I was doing good all day, but then got the urge to make my friend I am seeing tomorrow some chocolate chip cookies. They are vegan, no butter and no egg, but while I baked I kept snacking on those delicious dark chocolate chips and eating the cookie dough. Any advice on how to stop these cravings? Chocolate is my downfall. I can't seem to stop!

    Chocolate is my big problem too. Chew gum while cooking, and I find taking an iron supplement helps some? Dark chocolate is so strong that I frequently won't eat as much of that but feel like I got something special. Otherwise, I keep an emergency stash hidden from myself in a top cupboard for when the cravings are just too bad.

    Thanks for the gum chewing tip! I am going to stash a few pieces at the top of my baking tubby right now!

    It would be unrealistic for me to try to not eat chocolate at all. it's just not going to happen. So i make my own healthier desserts and just factor in the calories.

    It's ok, don't beat yourself up! Who DOESN"T snack on cookie dough when they're making cookies??

    I've found that supplementing magnesium citrate helped tone down my chocolate cravings a ton!
