They bother me and whisper to me until I eat the whole container of whatever it is. In this case chocolate truffles. I had a container of 12 and just ate all of them.

Guess I'll have my "cheat" day today then in place of tomorrow... eh. :smiley:

    I can't have them in the house either! it's a guarantee I will binge! I'm missing the part of the brain that tells me when I'm satisfied & full when it comes to sweets lol

    I usually plan my calories to eat a whole container of something when it comes to sweets. I know I will. So, it's sort of a "controlled binge". They're just so yummy. Can't possibly eat just one a day... I'll eat a whole container, one day out of the week. Now that sounds like a good version of moderation to me! :blush:

    Same situation :smile:
    Chromium picolinate works just great. I take 200 mg in the morning. It saves me from sweet and fatty food. I just don't want it anymore. Actually it controls my appetite pretty good. Sometimes even too much.

    There are a lot of foods I simply can't keep in the house. Every so often I think ''this time will be different'' but nope, never is! I recently finished off a box of dark chocolate truffles in one night, so good. No regrets but won't be buying them again. I also can't keep Nutella or Pringles in the house.

    I'm good with bars of 70% chocolate. Just about the only sweets I can keep around and actually moderate.

    @OlgaW007‌ is chromium picolinate specifically for cravings?

    Nothing's wrong with moderation, but if your having crack addict like cravings? Better stay away from the middle isles. It did wonders for Fabio!

    But...what about three, or even five, or even just seven?

    I can't have them in the house either. Chips as well, they need to stay at the store. If the stuff is not in the house, I am better off.

    I eat a whole slab of even 90% chocolate. Even if it's bitter

    None. I just have no willpower with certain foods. They happen to be sweet, but I also have that with some salty foods, like pizza or hamburgers.
