And, once again, TOM rolls around, and the chocolate - it calls my name!
I guess my question is:
I did really really well this week so far, and I have heard that us ladies burn more cal's during TOM anyways, so is it okay to indulge a little today?

    if you craved an apple, to go walking or a nap you'd do it so why not
    just do something to help balance...like walk to the store to get your treat....

    chocolate cake is my fav, naughty....or truffles....and i am able to ward off big crashes generally with skinny cow fudge bars
    weight watchers also make a really yummy fudgey bar as well

    I like the 100 calorie packs of brownie bites or chocolate covered pretzels or fudge dipped cookies. It does satisfy my chocolate craving and I'm only wasting 100 calories!

    Just discovered something called Sweet Riot in our natural foods store -- little tiny chocolate pieces (like little chocolate coated crumbs really) in a tin. They are 1-2 calories per piece. So you can have a small handful of 10 or so on the go and it takes care of my chocolate fix in a reasonable way.

    Someone on MFP shared this with me.....

    ...AND dark chocolate has magnesium which helps with PMS symptoms, so by all means, have a couple little kisses and walk an extra mile the next day. As for burning more calories during TOM, never heard that...

    I got over my chocolate cravings drinking chocolate milk,
    low fat or no fat type, sipping slowly and enjoying the chocolate flavor.

    Look at my ticker.... I have chocolate EVERY SINGLE DAY. :) I spent upwards of 200 calories a day on chocolate/sweets of some kind. If I have an extra 210 calories and 13 grams of fat lying around (haha), then you better bet I'll be spending it on a Hershey's chocolate bar. (And, yes, I have a supply of them ready.) Lately, I've been hooked on Skinny Cow Carmel Cone ice-cream cups and Smart Ones Cookie Dough Sundaes -- both 170 calories and 3 grams of fat. If I have enough calories, I spend it on smores poptarts (my FAVORITE 400 calories in the world, lol).... And, if I somehow end up with less than a hundred to indulge on, I have a 60-cal pudding snack. So, enjoy your chocolate! I WISH I only had chocolate cravings during my TOM; it would make a lot more sense because 121 pounds ago, I absolutely hated sweets. Sigh...
