Addicted to chocolate?

I think I might actually be addicted to chocolate! I have to have some every day, or I feel sad and my mood suffers. If I go without chocolate during the day, then by the evening I have a real craving for it! I even walked through a snowstorm to a shop to get some one night last winter! Does anyone else feel like this?

Hi! I am not really addicted, but I so love chocolates...since I was a child until now that I'm already in my late 40's, chocolates has always been, and will always be my favorite dessert. After every meal, I would usually crave for either a chocolate bar, chocolate cake, chocolate pastries or anything as long as it's chocolate. Every time I go to the supermarket, I always make sure that chocolates are on my grocery list. :) Lately, I'm into Dark Chocolates because I've read a lot of medical studies that it's good for our health. It has natural antioxidants that protects our cells and it improves our cardiovascular health. It's also good for the heart and reduces high blood pressure, improves blood flow and may help prevent plaque formation in arteries. Aside from that, it's really delicious especially those with Mint flavor. :)

your not alone. i think chocolate may have some chemical relations to heroine. of course there not the same thing but you can give someone a medicine that will make an addict not want to take heroine for a certain period of time as well as chocolate. they have to have some slight similarities since that's the case.

There is a chemical in it that makes me feel good and has created a dependency I'm convinced!

I used to have the same thing, but the last years this craving for chocolate has decreased! Though I do drink chocolate milk every morning. :D

I love chocolate, too. I've often thought that I might have an addiction to it, and it's usually in the winter, for some reason! I have walked through a snowstorm to get some, too. I think perhaps the additive in it is caffiene, but I'm not really addicted to coffee or anything else that's caffienated. I've thought sometimes that chocolate may have a secret additive... ;)

Now I think about it, I crave chocolate more in the winter too! Maybe the lack of sunlight is a factor?

Isn't this a cause of concern for you? If you think you are addicted to it, then it is about time to withdraw yourself from it little by little. It just takes willpower or self-discipline. Sure, chocolates are delightful to the palate but the sugar in it will surely harm the body.

I agree it is not good for my health, but I do not drink or smoke, so I think a little chocolate every day is ok.

Something for you to think about! 200 grams of chocolate is sufficient to kill a small dog. It is poisonous!

No, chocolate. I don't think you're a small dog! And a small dog would eat raw cocoa.

It is strange that you tend to become chocolate addict.I find that there are no habit forming ingredients in chocolates.No doubt they are tasty and also a good substitute for a break fast and certainly not to dinner or lunch.You enjoy them if you take them once in a way but not as an addict.You should also know that all the ingredients are not healthy for any one.Your cholestrol level will increase and you tend to loose appetite in course of time.One thing is clear that they do not become subsistutes for food even when taken in large quantities.May be it is time for you to consult a doctor.Any way addiction to anything is always bad.

ah i know what you mean.. i love chocolates! imagine my disappointment when i was told to avoid sweets because of a health condition which was only recently discovered. i was depressed! and the more i craved for chocolates. i remember dreaming of eating chocolates for the first month i was on therapy. i caved in. i told my doctor i'm having a hard time letting go of chocolates. he told me i still can eat small amounts, just not everyday. i guess that better than no chocolate at all.

You are really addicted to chocolate.I think you know that eating too much chocolate is not a good habit, which can make you gain too much weight and are not good for your health.Yes,it is difficult for one to do it,but you have to try your best to give it up.
