You can do it :tongue: You have done soooo great! I think that you should ask your doctor and do the 5 day pouch test. Good luck!

I also have struggled a bit with chocolate, maybe you could try dark chocolate? its stronger so you eat less, I also drink sugar free hot chocolate, or sugar free fudge bars.best wishes to you!

Maybe you need to get to the bottom of this chocolate thing. Is this mental? Is it physical?

I'm afraid (this isn't very sensitive of me, by the way) it sounds like you're making excuses for yourself there. If you think it's a physical thing, try to find whatever it is you crave (caffeine or whatever) from other sources. If it's a taste/sweetness thing, substitute out a sugar-free version to get your chocolate fix. If you say you can't do either of those things, I'd find it a bit dubious, honestly.

I agree that a slight unfill and back on track with nutrition and exercise is what is needed. Don't let yourself make excuses.... Good luck!

I agree with Linda D. You have to control what goes in your mouth and trust me I know it is hard. We all struggle with this at times some everyday.

But I think you can fix this yourself IF you really want to. Maybe some counseling would help you to see why you might be setting yourself up for defeat. Going from overweight person to thin person is hard for some to deal with. It was for me in the past. Good luck!
