    I've been eating chocolate. I buy fancy gourmet dark chocolate bars and just break off a square or two (rather than sitting down with a bag of fun sized butterfingers and the remote control, as in the old days). The good stuff has a really good chocolately flavor, and because I know it was so pricey I really savor it. It doesn't work out to be too many calories.

    Now, if I could only find something to kill my cravings for pastries and cakes...

    Buy a box of high quality, individually wrapped chocolates. Freeze the entire box.

    When you are craving chocolate, take ONE piece out to thaw.

    You'd be surprised how much this curbs it and how much more you enjoy it. Think about it: that last bite of a candy bar is nowhere as delicious as the first bite. This method makes all your chocolate experience the first bite.

    And it slows down your eating sweets. At some point you realize you don't want to EAT chocolate - you want to taste it. Cravings are (I think) about taste, not getting full off of sweets.

    Thank goodness I'm not a fan of chocolate. If I want a piece. I'll borrow a square of my kiddos Hersey bar.

    I keep my cravings under control by eating some every once in a while. Whenever I want some, I get my chocolate out. Since it's dark chocolate (I simply adore dark chocolate :heart_eyes: ) I'll eat at most 1/3 of a bar. Then I'm satisfied. Don't take chocolate out of your life. Just make it fit into your daily calories. :flowerforyou:

    I buy the individually wrapped mini york peppermint pattys and account for them in my calories for the day. This is a way that I don't feel like I am giving up anything. Some days I will have a tootie roll pop and just add those to my daily count.
