If chocolate is your weakness, try these tips from other Fit Forever! members for taming your inner chocoholic:
*Don't keep chocolate in the house. If it's not there, you can't nibble on it! And chances are you won't want it badly enough to go to the store
*Avoid the candy dish at work. Even a few handfuls of bite-sized chocolate candies add up fast!
*Try hot chocolate instead of a candy bar or brownie when the cravings hit. It tastes just as good, and there are about 115 calories per package for a regular, and only 55 calories in sugar-free! And be sure to prepare your cocoa with water, not milk.
*Remember, sugar-free or fat-free may not be calorie free. So check the label!
*Avoid "diet" chocolate items if they will trigger an urge to binge.
*Find a "busy hands" hobby. You won't want to get chocolate on your project!
*Retrain your brain! Go for a walk or do something healthy every time you want chocolate. Soon, you'll have a new habit!
