    Small square of dark chocolate always does the trick for me. Why can't you have chocolate? Fit it into your calorie goals and have it if that is what you absolutely want.

    Right now I am loving Ghirardelli Intense Dark Twilight Delight - 72% Cacao. Individually wrapped, 55 cals per piece, and satisfies my chocolate craving.

    Eat chocolate if you want chocolate. I buy the Hershey's Special Dark mini bars...40 calories max and just great as a treat. You can put it as a garnish on frozen yogurt, too.

    Yup, I just go for chocolate. I like chips because then I eat them slower and savor them more

    Pears, peaches, watermelon, bananas, Blueberries, strawberries, etc.

    If you must have chocolate ( I am a chocoholic - so I have to try to stay away from the stuff ) get some good quality dark chocolate and eat only one small square per day.

    whenever I'm craving sweets (candies, pastries, all of it), especially late at night, I grab a handful of blueberries or cherries or grapes. sweet enough to do the trick, and being able to eat so many little pieces makes it feel like a good snack!

    or this with chocolate pudding powder- found it on the recipe forum
    Ingreds:

    1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (45 cals)
    1 tbsp SF FF Jello Pistachio Instant Pudding mix (16 cals)
    1/3 tsp vanilla extract (4 cals)
    1 cup ice
    1 packet Truvia

    and the secret ingredient to make it creamy and not icy...

    2 tbsp plain FF Greek yogurt!


    Throw into a blender and whiz away. SO delicious! Makes one big shake :)

    ETA: This is actually vaguely reminiscent to a shamrock shake...I'm sure if you put a drop of peppermint extract/oil or some fresh mint in there it would taste JUST like one.

    My favorite is mini York peppermint patties. They're 50 calories/mint. I'm a chocoholic, and I find that snacks that are soley chocolate (min hersheys, choc chips, etc) drive up my craving and I can't stop, but the patty gives me a little chocolate, and I'm good. Of course I have to hide the bag from my kids...

    If you deprive yourself of something you truely want you will just keep picking at stuff trying to satisfy your craving. Go ahead and have a small piece and satisfy that craving now. :smile: It's ok!

    If you're craving chocolate, add cocoa to something (you'll want to add some truvia, stevia, etc too). Super chocolately, minimal calories, and good health benefits. Mixed into cottage cheese or yogurt with strawberries is gooood. Sugar free jello is great too. If you like pumpkin, canned pumpkin with sweetener and cinnamon is really good.

    Sugar free chocolate pudding snack cup

    Skinny cow chocolate candy or ice cream (sometimes I can find the individual cup samples)

    1 tbsp Nestle Semi-sweet chocolate chips added to greek yogurt (70cal for the chips, 120-140 for the yogurt flavors I like)

    1 tbsp Nutella is 100 calories

    100 calorie packs of different chocolate snacks - Keebler makes really good ones with enough in them to be satisfying.

    Shave a little bit of Baker's semi-sweet chocolate over mandarin oranges or other fruit gives enough chocolately goodness to satisfy the craving plus a little nutrition.

    I agree with all of the above on chocolate! I fit it in just about EVERY single day and it's lovely. I get the hersheys bags of dark chocolate nuggets with almonds. ONly 45 calories per chocolate.

    I also LOVE the cocoa roasted almonds by Emerald. They sell them at Walmart and Target. Some come in 100 calorie packs, or you can buy the canister with more servings. Almonds are good for you (in moderation) and the cocoa roast flavor is a PLUS! My daughter is 7 and she takes them in her lunch EVERY day now too. So you know they are good! :)

    This is where learning portion control is key. Portion out what you can fit into your goals, eat it and enjoy. Learn that and losing weight and maintaining will be a breeze, I promise!

    Buy small serving sizes of whatever chocolate treat you want (minis, 100 cal packs, whatever) or give the rest away if you must. Eating a little chocolate does not give you license to go rogue the rest of the day. It took time (for me anyway) but I have finally come to a place where I now have a healthy relationship with food and can have just *some* not necessarily *all*.
