HAS ANYONE DONE THIS?

I am totally on board here with everyone...totally a craving and you didn't go overboard. Just remind yourself how hard you have worked and take a bite or two and walk away. Congrads on having the will power that is a great thing. Hugs,

Donna, Only you can be the judge of that. What's your relationship with chocolate? I've given in to some cravings - chicken wings, pretzel crisps, a little pasta/rice in my soup, even Eggs Benedict once, with varying results...but I know me and I know these foods. I can walk away from the next offer of the same. Chocolate? Not a chance. I'm am terrified to learn that I can eat chocolate without dumping...my feelings about chocolate are damn near *****graphic! So, I know I can't touch the stuff yet...eventually...but not yet... If you enjoyed it and can leave the rest behind, no harm done. I think if we choose our indulgences, knowing who we are, we stay in control... Lisa

i have had 70% chocolate. half a block twice. a few fries every few weeks ... i realised it was the vinegar i was craving. a few crisps - more than that -> serious dumping! about a tablespoon chocolate cake - serious dumping, learned my lesson there!! i mentioned this before on the board but i had a dietician years ago who told me if i wanted a chocolate, rather have it instead of denying yourself and letting the craving go overboard and eventually succumbing...

Hello. I went without Chocolate for about 3 months. That is as long as I could do it. I got some Hersey's Dark chocolate squares and I'll have one a day. If you can keep it to a small amount like that, and it doesn't lead to needing and wanting more, I don't see a problem. But, I could be wrong. I am looking for life-long changes and habbits that are something that I can live with. I can't live my life without chocolate!!!! Rachel
