Who here is addicted to chocoate????

So I have been doing great with everything my exercise, lots of veggies, great support and all I drink is water. One thing stands in my way and its name is CHOCOLATE :laugh: I decided to buy dark chocolate because its has flavonoids and its heart healthy but then i find myself binging on it and i know better. I have tried not to buy it at all but that just doesn work either :sad: I just dont know what to do I dont do this with any other sweets or other foods. Anybody have a solution??

Thanks :flowerforyou:

If you find it, please let me know...this is just a very bad time of year, what with chocolate being on sale every week until Halloween... LOL

I have spent the whole afternoon battling with the same issue... I want chocolate! Chocolate flavoured things just don't have the same effect! And eating a small amount is frustrating....So if anyone has the solution I'd be interested too!

Me! I love chocolate. When I say love, I MEAN LOVE!

i do special dark hershey kisses, and give them to my fiance to put on the top shelf for me (i am very short). When I want some, he will get 3 down for me (20 cals each) and I will eat them very slowly letting them melt in my mouth. He wont get more than 3 for me in a day, and I normally wont go through the effort of climbing on a chair to get some more down for myself

Hi I am Cathy and I'm a chocoholic! But really, I just keep telling myself that chocolate doesn't taste as good as skinny feels. I also keep weight watcher or skinny cow or Philly swirl ice-cream bars on hand for really bad cravings. Good luck.

Might have been easier to ask who isn't addicted to chocolate

Solution? Don't fight it - eat chocolate every day. But I only eat a little bit. I buy 65-70% dark chocolate chips. For my desert every day, I weigh out 10g of chocolate chips and eat them very slowly, savoring each one. I don't feel deprived and I'm still on track with my weight loss.

Vitalicious Deep Chocolate Vitatops will change your life! Look for them in the frozen food section. So delicious and nutritious! only 100 calories a muffin top!

ME!!!

i am addicted to chocolate also!!! AHHH

everything in moderation.. i eat chocolate daily
mostly from chocolate flavored protein bars or something

as weird as this sounds but a little bit of peanut butter seems to satisfy my cravings for sweets. Maybe it is just me. Hope it helps or try chocolate protein bars.

When I buy chocolate, I tend to put it in an odd spot in the freezer - like in the back above behind the ice trays or on the bottom tray in the door. That way I don't see them very often, and I forget about them. Each time I have a few pieces, I'll move the bag to a different spot in the freezer, so the next time I go in there, my mind doesn't create a routine of looking at them.

That being said, I'm a total chocaholic too! I love Dove pieces and cherry Andes mints. -gets lost on chocolate day dreams-

I am not only addicted to chocolate, I am addicted to SUGAR. Sugar in chocolate or any sweets can actually give your brain the same effects as drugs and being in love. So, once our bodies realize we get this nice little high going, we crave it just like drug addicts crave their drug. I have been having such issues with this, but I cannot cut sugar/chocolate out of my diet forever because I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

Anyway, to get my fix, I eat Keebler 100 Calorie Right Bites. They have like 6 or more varieties, I believe. I get the chocolate chip cookies. I have a bag of those with a glass of soy milk for dessert, and it's great. The cookies taste SO good. They're crunch and satisfying, with just a little bit of chocolate. I'm going to try all of the varieties soon since these cookies were so good.

Good luck! Just remember that you do have to give yourself a little something sweet, or one day you're just gonna down a whole chocolate cake or box of oreos and wonder what happened!

I enjoy the dark chocolate kisses too. One or two melted slowly in the mouth is very satisfying. Peanut m&m's are pretty good as far at the glycemic load goes as well, I usually eat about 8. They are pretty filling and satisfying too.

Meeeeee. To the extent I have eaten it every night for the past 25 years I kid you not. Today is day 8 without any and I am dying!

OK Seriously now... - WHY!?!

I eat chocolate every single day. It has not hindered my progress at all.

Snap out of it. Life is hard enough without deprivation. If you're miserable and you want some chocolate, have some. Moderation is an excellent lesson to learn.

I am not terribly addicted to it, but when the TOM comes around, I go ahead and have some so I don't rip anyone's head off.

I just bought some dark chocolate to keep in my desk at work. I also have hot chocolate to drink which has a lot less calories than the Reese cups and Snicker bars that I used to love.
