    You may WANT chocolate, but you don't NEED it :] Get a drink of water and focus on the weight you've lost.

    Run down to the shop (don't drive) and buy a small bar. Then run back, I don't know how far away the shop is, but your jog can help offset the calories so you earn your treat (as long as you buy 1 small bar and not several massive ones!) :)

    Walk the long way around the block to the shop - buy 1 (ONE) piece/bar of chocolate (regular size, not king) and walk back the long way around - ENJOY your chocolate :)

    Do you crave chocolate often? It could by symptomatic of something you need in your diet (iron, certain vitamins, etc).
    Dovetailing off one of the previous replies, if you allow yourself a small amount of what you crave, you're less likely to binge on other things trying to satisfy that craving.
    Hang in there!!

    just eat your chocolate. if you want it that bad. just make sure it fits in your calorie budget. if it's worth the extra exercise you will have to do to burn it off, go for it. I personally like doritos but don't think it's worth any extra exercise so I don't eat them.

    I found if you go brush your teeth the craving will stop. good luck and stay strong. x

    I believe in the small treats every day method that Jillian Michael's advocates. I buy individual Halo chocolates (75 calories) and dark chocolate mini peanut butter cups (200 calories for 3 pieces), so that when the chocolate cravings come I can indulge without guilt.

    Noooooooooo! The guilt you feel after giving in to a craving will only make you crave more. You are doing so well, don't ruin it for a quick food high. I've given in before, and it just makes you feel ashamed of yourself, which will make you want to binge again or just give up altogether. Be strong, you've already lost half a stone! That's something to be proud of :drinker:

    Then have some chocolate. You don't need to eat the entire bar, have a piece or two.

    I have chocolate every day, and fit it into my calories. If I don't, I will binge. I buy it when it is on sale, like right now because of Easter, and store it in the pantry. I have not gone for the stash because I have a little bit each day. Today was a 3 musketeers for 240 calories. And it satisfied greatly.

    Don't eliminate anything from your diet, just fit it into your calories each day.

    What the hell are you doing which Oreos & white 'chocolate' in your house :noway: - at least get the quality stuff with real chocolate in it (70% or better dark choc) - for that matter, just buy real cocoa powder unsweetened and mix it into greek yogurt. Tastes like rich chocolate cheesecake. White chocolate is just fake garbage - and don't get me started on Oreos lol!

    from bon appetit - good food and fine cuisine magazine:
    "Technically white chocolate is not a chocolate - and it doesn't really taste like one - because it does not contain chocolate solids - just cocoa butter. It lacks the component that defines real chocolate."
    hahaha, if you are going to binge, do it on something worthwhile.:laugh:

    That's sensible :smile: I think if it's planned food then you don't get the guilt afterwards, but when you give into a craving, you feel you've let yourself down.

    Being as the OP started this topic 4 hrs ago, is anyone else curious as to whether or not we got chocolate? :laugh:
