    Chocolate protein bar, a piece of chocolate, chocolate flavored protein powder or cocoa powder with stevia in yogurt, oatmeal, or anything similar, coffee with sugar, mocha latte, hot chocolate. There are a lot of healthy chocolate options.

    I really like the 90 calorie bags of Crispy Minis, either Chocolate drizzle or Caramel drizzle. Great when you really aren't hungry but dying for something sweet.

    Try dole dippers! They're delicious and have very few calories in them. The one with strawberries dipped in dark chocolate have 60 calories for a pack of 4. They also have banana. I frequently eat them when I'm craving chocolate. You can find them in the frozen fruit section of your store.

    Eat something like an apple or a cucumber, just some fruit or veggie. Wait about 20 minutes and then rethink the craving. If you still crave chocolate than have one serving of what ever you get. If you can't make your self eat the fruit or veggie than you're not really hungry at all.

    Paula Deen, in an article about her weight loss said that she would suck on a lollipop for 10 min and that worked for her. I went out and bought a big container of Chupa Chup lollipops. I would just have a whole one. 50 calories. Seems to work for me. If these cravings are happening at work like they do for me it's likely stress.

    This is very simple advice from me but I would really try it - if you are actually craving something sweet (and not just mildly fancying it) leave all sugar based produce alone , as much as you can and for as often as you can. If you keep of it for a couple of days the craving should go away - a little bit can lead to more though so its better to keep completely off it.

    Just say no.

    This is going to happen a lot. You have to learn to say No or you won't lose your weight, which I know you want to do!

    You have to make changes and you know that saying No is one of them. Just do it. Focus on other stuff.

    As time goes on, saying No to the food that says "Eat me!" will get easier.

    Hang tough. Kick those cravings' butt.

    You can do it!!

    Chew gum. :)

    If you can find Nonni's biscotti, they have a 'Decadence' chocolate flavor that always does the trick to satisfy me. They're individually wrapped, which helps, and each is 100 calories.

    Just eat some chocolate. If you go over a little today, no big deal.

    I agree....also, someone mentioned hot chocolate...diet hot chocolate with a wee bit of coconut oil gives me that chocolate boost & the additional fat keeps me feeling full.

    This was always an issue for me while trying to eat on a calorie budget, but I discovered how delicious fiber one brownies are(they make lemon bars, coffee cake bars, etc), which are only 90 calories. If you buy a box of rice crispies, those are generally only 90 too. Sugar free jello tastes good, and is only like 10 calories. Oh and weight watchers makes some ice cream bars that are like 90-120 calories. The dark chocolate covered raspberry popsicle is amazing(only 90 calories), in my opinion. Finding low calorie foods to eat when you crave things helped me stay on track so much more. Instead of going to something unhealthy for a sweet fix, I could get it from something under 100 calories and not feel too bad about it. =P

    Eat chocolate, enjoy it, log it. Life's too short to deny yourself chocolate.

    DO NOT EAT ANYTHING SWEET! Eat Protein. As much as you need until you get through all the cravings. Which for me takes 2 weeks. Cravings are often triggered by low blood sugar due to eating sugar.

    Overdo the Protein is my advice until your cravings settle down. Good luck!
