    I love chocolate too! I try to curb my chocolate cravings by eating Fiber One Brownies. Each brownie has 90 calories and 5 grams of fiber--not too bad. For a snack, I like to take one out of the wrapper and microwave it so the chocolate chips melt a little. I add a banana with it too. Tastes as good as dessert!

    It sounds funny but has worked for me when I used to live with my parents and they had junk food around a lot. My cryptonite was chocolate donuts. If I was craving them I would open the package, close my eyes, and take a bunch of super deep breaths in through my nose. Man oh man you get the pleasure and rush of smelling it but I wasn't as tempted to eat them anymore. I don't remember when I read it but it seems to work a lot.

    Don't deprive yourself. Have it in moderation/find substitutions that satisfy the craving.

    Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. If you want chocolate get the very best chocs you can afford, keep it in the freezer and then when a craving hits ask your self if you're willing to wait until it thaws enough to enjoy it. If the the answer is yes, have a small piece, if the answer is no, you really didn't want it anyway, just the instant gratification. I buy Ghirardelli 72% dark and take one square, break it in 4 pieces and let each one melt in my mouth. Craving met for 55 calories and I've enjoyed it :)
