if you cant handle having it in the house, it is better to go to the store, restaurant or wherever once in a while as a treat. i have played around and discovered as long as i dont bake it, i am usually fine. and the treats i give my kids are things i dont want to eat like skittles. if they ask for a donut or something i tell them only one because they know i cant have it at home or they are all gone!i couldnt imagine never eating another reeses or snickers, so just plan your day around it, and let yourself enjoy the life out of it. sit down and eat it slowly and love it!

I appreciate it...i love to snack on things like brownies and stuff but once i start with a brownie i feel as if ive already cheated and then just blow it for the rest of the day. Especially sence im dishing out yummy snacks all day with my kids

Instead of dishing out yummy snacks out to your kids - try healthier snacks.

One think you can try is mix one small can of pumpkin with chocolate cake mix. You will need to add a little water to make it more cake like and bake. The pumpkin is used in place of eggs and oil. My daughter likes them better than brownies.

From what my diabetes classes taught me.. I can eat anything I want, as long as I look at what the carbs are (and for losing weight, what the fats are) and balance that with what it is I am eating.. If I'm going to eat something that is going to put me over what I should eat, It darned well better be worth it.. so no cheapo candy bar in the checkout.. let's go with truffles or yummy chocolates from the fancy chocolate store..

And then remember to do all things in Moderation.. So instead of scarfing down an entire gianormous candy bar, maybe buy the bite size candies and eat one at a time.. very slowly over a couple of days. Instead of the large piece of cake, take a sliver..

I've decided I am not sacrificing flavor for calories.. I'd rather eat something that tastes marvelous.. and just eat Less Of It..

And.. just so you know.. Dove makes a marvelous sugar-free chocolate candy. I can't tell the difference when I go with the dark chocolate (and I love dark chocolate anyway).

chocolate vitamuffin tops!! so delicious! .. they make vitabrownies too.. i havent actually seen the brownies at the store, but i know you can order them online.

I must agree I love chocolate vitamuffin tops. Sometimes I make a death by chocolate like dessert by using a chocolate pudding cup mixed in with pieces of the viatmuffin and some non-fat cool whip. very satisfying and low in calories

I buy truffles; Girardelhi has good ones you can usually find at grocery stores, or Lindt. Then I put them in the freezer so I can't just pop them into my mouth, I have to take small little bites. And the higher quality and darker the chocolate, the more satisfying it is (at least for me).
