    I respectfully submit that not being able to moderate your chocolate consumption is what brought you to the site. Not the chocolate itself.

    Oh, memories of finishing a big tub of double chocolate icecream and bags of chocolate chip cookies, 8 chocolate bars in one evening... I should be as skinny as a pole by now!

    Chocolate is not the problem. The problem is that it taste great with SUGAR.

    I have a milk frothier and froth some hot skim milk and add a TBS or so of unsweetened organic coco. Almost fat free low calorie hot chocolate. But without the sugar, not the same. Of couse, I can add a small amount, much less than in commercially produced hot chocolate.

    The point is though -- most people love chocolate+sugar combination, not the chocolate itself.

    I'll say "Thank you!!!" now. I've been having a mug of cocoa EVERY single night since I started:
    Hershey's Cocoa, natural unsweetened 2T.
    1 t. sugar
    ! C. skim milk

    I am one of those people MFP decided needed 1200 cals. Even in addition to going over a bit almost every day,
    I would never give up my cocoa in the evening--no,no,no,not happening...........and I'm losing weight.....almost half
    way to goal. Also, it gives me a treat I love to look forward to each evening.
