CHOCAHOLICS???! :) can you go 1 day w/o chocolate?

So, chocolate is usually my downfall. I crave it probably 5 or more times a day. I know its not really good to deny yourself food but its not like your supposed to eat everything you crave everyday. Im gonna see if i can go 1 day with out 1 bite of chocolate. I think so far today i havent eaten any. Im gonna see how many days i can go with out chocolate after that one day. wish me luck! any other chocaholics  want to do this with me?

I started like that too..... I now havent had chocolate since March... I rarely ever crave it anymore

sperhar, i'm the same way too! I used to eat sooOOOooo much of it, and now I never crave it at all once I just didn't eat it for a few days! If I do crave chocolate, it's always the extra dark kind. Milk chocolate just tastes wrong now! I figure if I'm gonna eat chocolate, I might as well eat CHOCOLATE!

I just had 2 pieces :) totaling about 80 cal. It is so tempting to get another pieces (it is a big tray of free samples at Ikea ... )
but, I feel like I satisfy the sweet tooth. More than that I would spoil the sensation :)

I do keep a small tube of chocolate covered almonds from Charles Chocolate (to make it worse.. that chocolate shop is just blocks away from my house XD )  in my cabinet just for when my sugar is low (yeah right... more like my sugar taste is going nuts!)

i'm not a chocoholic; i actually go weeks without thinking about chocolate.  but since i've been trying to eat better, i've found it helpful to have hershey's kisses in the house.  i have a few a day (usually 3 after lunch and dinner).  i don't feel that i'm depriving myself if i'm allowed chocolate!

Once you get used to eating healthy, your body "detoxes" and you don't crave the bad stuff as much.  It's pretty easy for me to avoid chocolate most of the time, now, unless 1) it's my time of month, and my cravings have taken over, or 2) it's a brownie-- I still can't resist those any time of month -_-;;; .

apparently,if ur addicted to chocolate the way of geting sick of it is haveing a bar of it after every dinner meal for 2 weeks and then in 2 weeks time ur hate chocolate altogether lol.

thanks everybody! i think im gonna try to not eat chocolate for now and see how that works. The hard part for me in the whole eating better thing is that there is a store right across the street from my house. its a little store, but its part of the reason im so overweight now. when i was younger after school my parents would send me over there to get fried food or candy or whatever. It really doesnt help much.
but thanks again, you always help me!

Hi.

I'm not a chocaholic ( used to be when I was younger ) I do find that since I have been watching what I eat that having a hot chocolate really helps when I want to be naughty.

i gave it up there a month or so ago, craved it a bit in the beginning, had dreams where i ate it too and woke up the next morning feeling really guilty!! But anyway, once u get it out of your system its not hard, though if i really really crave a sugar rush ive swopped to rowntrees ice pops, fruit gums or some haribo fizzy cola bottles. Haha i think i went from one addiction to another!!!

List of chocolate things currently in my apartment:

-1 pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked

-Boyfriend's leftover bday cake

-chocolate mousse cups (only 85 cals a cup though)

-3 dozen chocolate chip cookies

-Cookie Crisp cereal

-Special K Chocolate

-3 dozen chocolate and ginger cereal bars

-2 big Toblerones

-10 Kit Kat two-finger bars

-10 individual twix sticks

-Chocolate creme cookies

-Wafers filled with chocolate creme

-chocolate rice cakes

-hot chocolate mix

So yeah, I like my chocolate, lol.  The key is self-control.  None of my chocolate items are over 150 cals (except for the cake and the ice cream, which are my boyfriend's), so I allow myself one per day. 

I'm actually more concerned about pigging out on the healthy stuff...bananas and whole grain cereal have become more appealing for me!

I used to have to have chocolate everyday, but now I don't.  It is probably because I was ALLOWING myself to have some chocolate everyday instead of banning it altogether.  Even though I still love it, I think after a while, I just sort of got tired of eating it everyday.

i havent gotten tired of eating it yet! lol. im not sure why. but i havent eaten any today so far. yesterday i cracked and had chocolate ice cream. but ive been doing pretty good today. ill definately have to find some low cal chocolate!

*My screen name is pretty-eyes and I'm a chocoholic.*

I just read in the paper last week that a study was done that showed people had more happy chemicals released in their brains from eating chocolate than from making out with their partners!  Lol, I feel like that sometimes. 

I can go weeks without and then I will have a craving. Then I force hubby to go to Wal-Mart *laughs* They carry their store brand chocolate, which is the cheapest they sell and it's actually made in Belgium... Makes no sense that imported chocolate is that cheap, but I'm not complaining, it tastes like home.

I can't stand Hershey's, it tastes like candle wax. I don't understand Americans and putting parafin in chocolate.. That's not for eating, silly people! :p

When I have a bar, it disappears within 1-2 days though. But as long as it fits in my calories, I dont care. I lost 35lbs in 4 months and I ate plenty of pizza, mcdonalds and chocolate. Teehee, I love calorie counting.

My current chocolatey treat is Edy's slow churned French silk. It's chocolatey and mocca-ey. Coffee and chocolate are double yum.

Last week I've been craving chocolate so badly that I was eating cocoa mix... o_O; I blame the blue moon and PMS *snickers*

i find the best option when ur craveing chocolate is to drink a low calorie hot chocolate drink  it works for me

Why would you want to go a whole day without chocolate? Thats insane. Hi, my name is Mike and I am a chocaholic.

Can I go 1 day without chocolate?

Sure - but why would I want to?

[pops in dove chocolate square, leans back in chair, and rolls eyes back....]

Seriously - good luck in controlling your cravings.  Perhaps if you prove to yourself you have the self control, maybe you could eventually be satisfied with just a little bit of chocolate each day.

I'm tempted to go to the store right now and get chocolate just reading about it.  I crave chocolate everyday as well.  For a while I was trying to keep chocolate in the house but only eat 1 peice a day...haha...didn't work.  The whole bag would be gone in like 2 days.  I found that the best way is just to stay away from it all together; cut cold turkey.  Make chocolate your reward for losing weight.  I plan on having some dove chocolate after my first 20 pounds lost.

Good luck! I feel your pain.

i agree with all of you. Oh i dont really like hersheys i agree that its like candle wax! lol. but i had dove today ahh. see i dont want to quit eating chocolate because i love it! but i need to not do it because i wont stop eating it!

I have one piece of dark chocolate(more than 80% of cacao) either after my lunch, or as a snack. It's about 50 kcal. I know I cant get a day without it. And it's not that unhealthy either, if it's the good , the real chocolate.
