Chocolate craving. What do I do?
I had some Hershey's kisses, but I am craving more. A lot more!
But I practice moderation.

    If it fits within your calorie limits then HAVE the chocolate and smile about it-

    Gum helps, so does flavored tea.
    Personally I save room for chocolate each day, I've had a 200 cal. budget but am trying to cut it back

    Crap. Reading the subject line, my first thought was "you fly, I'll buy!"

    I do well when I only buy one serving of what I'm craving. Like buy a regular-sized hershey bar instead of a bag of kisses. That way I get what I want and can't justify going back for more.

    I keep cocoa around for just this purpose.

    Seriously, she always keeps this unhealthy stuff around.

    Then keep in mind it's hers, not yours.

    1. She's 10. How old are you?
    2. Why are your eating your younger sister's food?
    3. What's unhealthy about Hershey kisses, eaten in moderation?

    Life is too short for cheap chocolate. Buy something good for yourself and keep it on hand.

    I have been budgeting 180 calories or so to have cocoa before bed the past couple of weeks. That's for one cup--on days I'm pushing calories I can cut back to half a cup, on days where I have some room I'll do a cup and a half. So, I have a nice consistent chocolate intake as part of my *plan*.

    It's 'medicinal'. I've been having trouble sleeping and the tryptophan released from the fat globules in whole milk when it is warmed are a precursor to melatonin, so warm milk helps most people sleep. (Getting it into the water phase of the milk makes it more bioavailable).

    I plan for a few treats in my day so that if I want chocolate, I can have some. That said, I usually only really crave chocolate when I haven't taken my magnesium like I should have.
