having trouble staying away from chocolate

[elisabethm 4]

I have had trouble the last week with limiting the naughty food.. Ive thrown it out and it has worked but i celebrated easter this weekend and i consumed quite a bit of chocolate.. Now i find myself looking for some.. Its very hard.. Ive decided to walk it off everytime i get a craving.. Its bloody hard.. Any other suggestions?

Ugh me too!! I'm stuck and can't lose anymore and I know it's from eating wrong..my son for the Air Force and I'm a stress eater.,

I am a huge chocolate fan but I notice that if I eat some then I crave more. So if I REALLY can't take the cravings anymore I have a little but I KNOW I'm going to have to wean myself off that stuff like the addict I am in the weeks to come!

How much have you lost? How long until you normally reach the goal? I'm stuck and very depressed over it!

Stop buying it.

Stop buying it.

You say that like it's so EASY.

Well thats the thing..i havent they have been gifts from students.. To buy some i need to get in the car and go to the shop.. I dont do it but it doesnt stop me from rummagging through my cupboards hoping that i forgot some somewhere.. Its all gone now but the cravings and that crazy feeling hasnt.. THATS my issue...

It's easier to not buy it than it is to avoid it once it's in your pantry or candy dish. Spoken from experience

I do allow myself 2 hershey dark choc bliss cubes every night. It satisfies my chocolate craving, and some idiot nutritionist said it's good for me? Go figger :wub:

Pfft I have a 7yo. Easter meant chocolate eggs. EVERYWHERE!

But no we don't usually have it in the house. My partner says I get 'cat's bum face' when he tries to sneak it into our shopping trolley. chocolate is a 'once in a while' food, not just for lapbanders, but everyone, and let's face it, it's addictive as crack!

Artic Zero ice cream!! It is really frozen Protein Shake but it is 150 calories for the entire pint. Yes, for the entire pint...and it's good for you. I don't eat the entire pint but it helps me with my love of ice cream.

OH WOW!! This is TOTALLY my downfall too!! and the fact that it goes down so easy doesn't help things.. I've not bought any - but when I get a craving - I do sneak into my co-worker's candy dish... (she ALWAYS has those mini chocolate bars) and allow myself only 2.. but its a high price to pay... mini or not.. 100 calories.. EEKS!! Definitely something I gotta keep away from too!! darn if it tastes soooo good!! BLAH!! Stay strong!!

I found some relief by using sugar free Jello choc instant pudding. The cooked is ok too, but who wants to wait?
