chocolate attack

I am able to resist the temptations of chocolate the majority of the time. However, when I am finishing my monthly cycle, I crave it like the dickens. I know that there are a lot of people that will crave chocolate prior to the monthly cycle, but for me it has always been at the end. So, I will treat myself to a candy bar or something like that occasionally because the rest of the time it is something that I could do without and it doesn't even tempt me in the store.

Why would you resist?

I have immunized myself to these attacks. I always have some chocolate on hand, and I find if I melt it very slowly in my mouth, a small amount is very satisfying. I do not have to go on a binge or eat excessive amounts. Chocolate chips in a trail mix with cranberries or cherries is really satisfying, or one Dove Dark Chocolate Promise is good. Melt M&M's in your mouth one at a time and you will find that only a few will fill the bill. This is what has helped me not to go overboard.

i know what you mean. i love eating chocolate but it is not always the healthy type. but it seems that every other day we hear about a new study that has to do with the benefits of chocolate.

Hi, Pat! While I limit myself, I wouldn't even try to fight off the chocolate monster completely. It's not only too much to give up; it's too good to pass up...

I can resist now, but when I was younger I found it very hard to resist it, and I ate so much.... now I have a few times where I really fancy it, but I don't eat it like I used, I will just have a couple of squares of chocolate or just 1 bar, and that is enough for me, but I know what you mean about adverts... there seem to be so many these days
