    Ghiradelli squares, the individually wrapped kind. It makes it easier to only have one, & they're usually only around 60 calories each :smile:

    Dole Chocolate Covered Banana Slices - in the freezer section. They are so tasty and one package is 100 calories.

    Did I mention they are tasty?

    Eat the chocolate!

    I buy fairtrade 70-75% dark chocolate and eat 1 square after dinner (55 cal) for a great chocolate fix

    Thanks again for sharing your ideas everyone!!!!!! I am going to try some of your ideas :) Planning it and allowing myself to have a bit everyday is a great idea. I am going to switch to dark chocolate....really love milk chocolate but know dark is better. I am now taking vitamins every day as well.....just in case the craving is coming from something lacking in my diet. :happy:

    I love chocolate and ate far too much! I decided to give up all sugar (apart from fruit) I have been doing it for 2 weeks now and I really dont feel the urge to eat it any more. All or nothing is the only thing that works for me

    Dark chocolate may taste a little bitter at first but you'll get used to it in time (to me it was the same as getting used to greek yogurt after eating regular for years). I've become a chocolate snob and it's really helped me with my cravings. Milk chocolate is EVERYWHERE so it's easy to get your hands on. But if you can get to the point where you won't settle for it (not worth the calories), it can be a huge savior because real, good, dark chocolate is harder to get your hands on.

    I'm so glad you're going to find a way to make your chocolate habit work! In order to make these new habits work in the long run, you have to change your thinking to what you CAN have vs the usual diet thinking of what you can't (or aren't supposed to) have. There is no good or bad food, you just have to find a way to make the foods you enjoy work within your calorie budget in a way thave leaves you satified and full of energy. This can take some trial and error so don't beat yourself up in the meantime! :)

    If I have a craving, I just have 100-150 calories of it. It hasn't been a problem really... just have to know how to stop (which isn't always easy, I'll give you that). To be fair, I haven't dared buying huge chocolate bars, I'm just sticking to the 100 calorie ones from Trader Joes.

    I was never a chocoholic but recently I've become quite addicted to Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai Blueberries. They are 180 calories but fairly low in fat. There's something about them that satisfies that sweet/chocolate fix but doesn't make me want to eat more. 1 serving (1/4 cup) does it.

    I make sure I leave enough calories to allow me to eat them almost every day. Good luck!
