    Use moderation. There is no reason why you can't have a little chocolate in your life. Make it fit in your food diary.

    Certain foods are triggers for people. For me, it's ice cream. I cannot keep it around or I will eat it all and then keep going the next day. So for me, I don't buy it. I just can't control myself around it. If I have an ice cream craving, I purchase froyo and get a smaller serving. That way I can't binge on a gallon of ice cream.
  • I've tried moderation but I think I have the same problem as you emhunter! Just bought a box of chocolate and they are half way gone... I wish moderation could work though
  • thanks for the comments guys!

    Haha understandable. If you do crave chocolate only buy a small serving. Like just one bar instead of a box. And get a darker chocolate instead of milk chocolate. If you go to a more fancy chocolate, you can pick how dark your chocolate is. Maybe just go a tad over traditional milk chocolate. Try around 68% cocoa.
  • definitely will try dark chocolate instead!!!
