Hey,
You don't have to deprive yourself. Instead of having a whole bar have a half? I'm sure you can fit it into your daily allotted calories.
Today is pancake day and you can be sure I'll be having pancakes and nuttela. Why? Because I enjoy it... Just in moderation:-)

Two options:
If you never want craving again... don't eat it again.
If you want cravings for the rest of your life... eat it.
Chocolate is manufactured to make you a good consumer for the economy. If everyone ate the apples from the tree in their garden the share holders at Cadburys would be homeless. It messes up your bodys natural rhythm and you will always battle with it. Work out what your body nutritionally needs and give it that. If you stopped eating it your body would only ever crave the real nutrients you need and you would get the same pleasure eating an apple as you do now with chocolate.
Just my opinion but worth a thought.0 -

Or option 3 - fit in a portion of chocolate, enjoy it and stop depriving yourself of delicious food which helps many people with cravings as it's no longer off limits.
If I ate a apple every time instead of eating chocolate I would decide to quit, annoy every one around me and miss out on some really good food.0 -
I have found this little mind trick to be helpful...I tell myself I can only have it if I stay under calories AND if I meet most of my nutritional goals (macros) for the day - esp. iron and protein.
I also find that if I have a craving for something that may not be the best choice, I allow myself to have it after I drink a glass or two of water and wait a few minutes. Sometimes the craving goes away.
But sometimes you just have to have it. I do not want chocolate very often - a few times a year maybe - and sometimes, it's just so enjoyable to have. I try to have something I can savor - like a few Hershey's kisses that I let just melt in my mouth, slowly. Mmm. Usually satisfies the urge.

What if I don't have an apple tree in my garden? What then? Do I just eat acorns then, because I have plenty of those...0 -
Having a small portion of chocolate occasionally isn't gonna kill you. Stick with dark chocolate if you like it. You won't eat as much, and it has a bit of health benefits vs. milk chocolate.0

agree. apples are not chocolate. and as a (recovering) binge eater, and weight loss maintainer, I can tell you WITH CONFIDENCE, that eating 5 apples and THEN caving into the chocolate bar is more calories than just eating the bar by itself.

OP, have a sensible portion of chocolate, and move on. There's no need to over think this ( or worry about Apple trees and stock holders at cadbury lol!) Just use portion control and you'll be fine0
