Make it fit into your calories if you don't want to live without it forever. I eat chocolate and treat all the time and still lose.33

That's a very skewed perspective! Did anyone (including yourself) get hurt?
You "slipped up" - it won't be the last time in your life.
Maybe complete deprivation isn't the way? Work it into your calories and enjoy as a treat would be an alternative strategy.16 -

Don't let the rest go to waste.
2 pieces isn't some crime.
Do you feel bad when you eat an apple?
It's about the same calories.
Not an issue.
It won't hurt your weight loss UNLESS you give it the mental weight to now give up.
Move on.
(and enjoy your chocolate. that's the secret to success - enjoy your journey.)11 -

The problem is that once I have a piece I will litrally eat the whole bar!! And then want more, i will try to limit myself to once a week perhaps? thanks hun xx0 -
Abstinence isn't for everyone. The fact that you ate only 2 pieces and were able to stop is a HUGE accomplishment. If you enjoy things like that and have no intention of giving it up for the rest of your life, find ways to work it into your calorie allotment for the day/week/whatever.9

For me, breaking a Toblerone up into the serving size and putting it in a Ziploc snack bag helps me not eat the whole thing. I get my chocolate and I can say I "ate the whole thing" even though it was 1 triangle.
You're not bad for eating a whole bar (or part of one).7 -

Why are you being so dismissive and rude to the people giving you sound advice? "Hun"? Really?
If you treat foods as "bad" or "good", you set up a pattern where any indulgence is a failure and makes you feel guilty. Teaching yourself to enjoy a portion of a treat that fits your goals for the day, without guilt, can help you you succeed long term. It's not easy for everyone, but it you wallow in guilt after every treat you set yourself more problems down the road.
Many of us had to learn this lesson the hard way.14 -

It's not criticising someone to give advice that maybe you are setting yourself up for failure.
Loads of people have trigger foods, including me. I found that including the foods I really want and enjoy into my overall diet has been successful. Moderation not exclusion.
I don't know you but you asked for suggestions, your life and your choice which suggestions you take. If you think what you are doing is sustainable and makes you happy then carry on. Your own words would appear to cast doubt on that.
Your words - "I feel like giving up now".
That strikes me as extreme for two pieces of Toblerone.31 -
You feel bad for eating two slices of Toberlone.... ! (now I want some LOL)
Make room in your daily allowance for treats like that and enjoy, guilt free

I eat 3.5 ounces of chocolate several times a week
I call it chocolate days 5 -
I would feel bad as well as it's chocolate of terrible quality with far too much sugar and too little cocoa powder *ducks*10

If you are going to eat Toblerone at least make sure you use the correct method when breaking it.

I don't understand ... why would you feel like giving up now?1 -

Don't feel bad for eating, don't label foods good or bad. Make it fit if you want to eat, or don't buy it if you don't want to eat it. Don't go on a diet, just eat food you like in appropriate amounts, then you won't ever think about "giving up" (it would be absurd to stop eating, wouldn't it).5

OMG I have been doing it wrong! Thank you for showing me the error of my ways!
I buy dark chocolate chips. When I want chocolate I weigh out 100-150 calories worth (hehe OK sometimes 200 calories - whatever I have room for). I let them melt in my mouth. Usually by the time my plate is empty I am satisfied with what I had.4 -

Whoa.7 -
But you didn't eat the whole bar, you only had two pieces. Excellent job! I agree that if you can make room for a little chocolate it can be a more pleasant way to do things. Especially if staying away drives you crazy!1
