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.

Sugar cravings

OMG!!! If you're likely to demolish a block of chocolate from sugar cravings, get your butt (or mouse) here.

I picked up some sweet flavoured teas today while in the city. One pot (2 cups) of creme brulee flavoured tea and no more chocolate cravings. I feel full and like I've satisfied my craving. Full of tea goodness too.

Flavours on my WANT list are
Creme Brulee
Red choc mint
Strawberries and cream
Sencha
Honey green almond
Something Rose flavoured
Something vanilla flavoured
Mint mix

I had a sniff of the mint mix, and it smells strong enough to burn the hair out of your nose. YUM
