    Wow! Congratulations on your weight loss! Awesome!

    I bought myself a big bag of 72% chocolate Swiss Delice chocolate squares at Costco and have a piece or 3 when it fits in to my calorie allowance for the day.

    I used to pig out on chocolate when I told myself I couldn't have any and when I was also eating a low amount of calories.
    I've since increased my calorie count and have done away with intense cravings and binges. Worked a charm.

    I am looking for anyone who has suggestions about chocolate cravings and how not to have them !!!! anything will help pleaseeeeee

    :explode:

    Didn't read all the posts, but Sugar free York Peppermint patties are great and Russell Stover has a few sugar free choices. Like.... Health bar crunch!!! So good!!! They are made with Xylitol, NOT suculose or aspartame or the other regular unhealthy sugar substitutes. :-)

    A snack with healthy fats and/or protein in the afternoon helps curb my sweet cravings overall. An apple with peanut butter, homemade guacamole with whole grain crackers, or cheese and crackers seems to help.
    Or, like others have said, have some chocolate! My favorite afternoon snack of all is a handful of almonds with a tsbp of dark chocolate chips!

    If I have any craving(salty, sweet, chocolate, what have you) I just go ahead and satisfy it. I just don't sit there and eat a bag of chips or a king sized candy bar. I work it into my allowance for the day. I really love Mr. Goodbar's. I'll break one in half and give one half to my husband. This way neither of us is eating a whole bar.

    Natural raw cacao is high in magnesium... and a little goes a long way.

    I make a wonderful "chocolate pudding" that provides a boat-load of nutrition while tasting amazingly chocolately.

    Raw Vegan Chocolate Pudding. Serves two.

    1 smallish avocado
    2 bananas
    2 Tbls raw cacao powder
    2 Tbls raw carob powder
    1/4 cup agave nectar
    1/2 tsp vanilla

    Throw all this in the food processor, and process/scrape/process until smooth. I've entered it here in the database as Rae's raw chocolate pudding, so you can log it!

    Serve with apple slices.

    I feel your "pain" with chocolate cravings. I'm currently on Lent (even though not religious) and gave up chocolate as a test to see if I could and went completely cold turkey.

    I get cravings and want to give in when I see it in the shops but I have a weird image of a dude dressed as Jesus chasing me with a sandal if I give in. I also don't want to let myself down.

    So maybe think of it like that, a craving is just a brief moment, or maybe satisfy it with something else that's sweet, i.e. yoghurt, fruit or whatever else you may like :)
