Dealing with chocolate...

I can't not eat chocolate. If I have it in the cupboard, I can't stop at a few pieces. And if I don't have it in the cupboard, I'll go out and buy a few bars and eat them in one go. So I've devised a few ways to combat this.

1) I buy dark chocolate. I find I eat it when I want chocolate flavour, rather than when I want a sugar fix, so its easier to stop. It has similar (slightly less) calories to regular chocolate, but smaller amounts are just as satisfying.

2) If I do happen to buy milk chocolate, I break it up into portions, and freeze the whole bloody lot! Its easier to resist the temptation when you have to wait 5 minutes to get your fix.

I love choccie, it's a problem. And I'm also a patient girl - if I have to wait five minutes for it to thaw, then I'll wait.
Damn!

congrats on your weight loss honey.
