Do you eat chocolates even when you say you're in a diet?

Some people are strict in their diet but some are not that strict. How do you control yourself from craving for a chocolate bar when you're on a diet? Do you fight it over to sleep or you just get one and say "One bar won't hurt."? lol How do you go for a strict diet?

while i was dieting, i did eat chocolate, but only dark chocolate (as it's my favorite), and definitely not the whole bar. i did it really just to keep myself sane hahahah i don't have a sweet tooth, so i don't really need to eat much of it. i usually just break off a small piece and i'm good. i also did this with cheese as i love cheese. i sort of got it from the devil wears prada lol, there's this scene where emily says that she's on this new diet that she doesn't eat anything for i think 36 or 72 hours and when she feels like passing out she eats a cube of cheese hahaha, but of course i did eat, but i exercised a huge amount of self-control. from time to time i ate a small piece of chocolate or cheese just to reward myself for being "good" haha

Hi! I'm currently on a diet but not a strict diet. I still fancy eating some chocolates. I don't deprive myself of some "sweet sugary goodness". In the past, I tried dieting by cutting out all sweets and other junk foods. What happened is that I craved for them and just gained back all the weight I lost. Now, I don't remove chocolates from my diet so I don't go on a sweets eating frenzy. By reducing the amount from my meals (lunch and dinner) and treating myself with some sweets from time to time, I have lost 9 kilos (19.8 lbs)! The most important thing though is to not stock that much chocolates at home so that one wouldn't get tempted.

I'm not on a diet I've just changed my lifestyle. But I do eat chocolate once in a while. I don't eat it like I used to before, which was a lot but I do let myself eat some chocolate. I am not going to stop eating the things I love just to lose weight but I will eat them in small portions.

well its really hard to be on a strict diet, even in hospital settings when the patients are supposed to eat what the doctor recomments, its really hard to implement. meaning a normal person who has the greatest resistance would therefore have a hard time to denounce his or her chocolate cravings. i believe people are so visual and imaginative, so taking away anything that would remind you of chocolates would be a big help. (including your boyfriend who loves to give u chocolates and say ure sweet!) hahaha!
