    When I want chocolate, I usually have a little chocolate. I buy dark because a little goes a long way

    i have the WORST sweet tooth. i have helped curb it by keeping grapes in the freezer. anytime i want something sweet i munch on a few of those. it seriously has SAVED me. hope it helps you! but keeping some very dark chocolate is okay. but if oyu are like me you still still eat too much of it :) freeze some grapes, it works for me!

    I buy the skinny cow chocolates. They taste a little different, but after a bit they are much better than the other higher sugar chocolates! The come with 3 chocs in a pack, total 130 calories. Most days days I just have one, but even if I have all 3, it's nothing a 20 min or so walk won't take care of!

    I have a terrible time with chocolate and sweets! Nothing takes the place of chocolate for me. However, I do buy diet jello chocolate puddings and sugar free fudgesicles. It helps a bit. I also eat dark chocolate covered almonds...but just a few a day. Good luck!!!

    Step 1. Go find a mirror.
    Step 2. Look in the miror.
    Step 3. Raise your hand.
    Step 4. B***h slap yourself til you no longer crave chocolate and cookies.
    Step 5. Walk away from the mirror.

    This is a tried and true method.

    You can have 24 chocolate Teddy Grahams for 130 calories or 5 Hershey's Kisses for 110 calories. Two of my favs for chocolate cravings.

    I don't think it's necessarily less. But milk chocolate is so easy for me to binge on. Dark chocolate satisfies my sweet tooth but it's easy to stop at an ounce of it.

    Chocolate chip granola bars aren't bad and not a whole lot of calories. Or if the craving is bad enough and you have the calories have just a single chocolate cookie. Will kill the craving without going overboard. Remember ... it's not a diet, its a life style change and we need to allow ourselves small treats in moderation.:smile:

    I have this same problem too. Fruit does NOT help. I just stopped buying my sweet tooth cravings so they were no longer in my kitchen.

    Eat some great tasting yogurt or get some skinney cow candy boy is it good. I also love the skinney cow ice cream and I can usually work them in my calories for the day if I want them

    As long as you have enough control to stop, there's nothing wrong with indulging in a little sweet. I just had a packet of Keebler's 100 calories Right Bites chocolate covered pretzels. I don't feel guilty and it curbed my chocolate craving. And as long as I don't indulge again then I'm good. Skinny cow chocolates are great too as long as you stop at one packet! :)

    Chocolate protein shake. When made with ice in a blender, reminds me of a milkshake

    without wanting to be sexist but is it fair to say that chocolate is more of a "girl thing", my wife has lost over 6 stone and chocolate has always been here thing, she uded to be capable of sitting down and putting away two family bars with n problem.

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'm going to try buying a little bit of dark chocolate. I will later try out the skinny cow treats that were mentioned, and frozen grapes. :D:D:D
