Question

I'm curious to see if this is just me or not but I got some chocolate for valentine's day from a friend and last night I realized I had some chocolate left over. I already had all my pts for the day but legit was obsessing about it all evening long. all I could think about was that chocolate. yes I could have thrown it away but it dawned on me that I do that alot. I just kept thinking about that chocolate. I finally gave in and had 2 pieces of it. am I the only one who does this? and if not. what do you do to stop it?  

Answer 1

Pini in he freezer

Answer 2

If you crave something and have it in your house, you should just eat it, track it and move on. If you don't you will eat all kinds of other things trying to satisfy that craving. None of them will work and 9 times out of 10 you end up eating the craved thing anyway plus all the other things you ate.  

Answer 3

I obsess over dunkin doughnuts.  

Answer 4

I think freezing is a good idea. There is nothing wrong with having a piece.  

Answer 5

My attitude is a bit different. I say Congratulations! Our tendency is to completely beat ourselves down for having those 2 pieces of chocolate, but honestly, what would you have done in the past? I know I would have EATEN EVERY SINGLE piece of chocolate! I would have eaten until I was sick and no longer able to enjoy the taste or sensations of the chocolate! So please, don't beat yourself up. Give yourself credit for how far you have come! You had the chocolate and you enjoyed it! BRAVO!  

Answer 6

It absolutely calls to me. I am IMPRESSED that you had 2 pieces. That is a win and absolutely on program (Weeklies)

Answer 7

Track it and move on we have all done this don’t beat yourself up.  

Answer 8

Have one, tract it. Because with me if I don't I eat it and a lot more.  

Answer 9

I’m the same way and I just give in  

Answer 10

I do the same thing. The only way I can deal with it, is to not have it in the house. Otherwise, I would eat it all. Sad but true.  

Answer 11

I love chocolate, I buy dove small square chocolates, 2 pts each, I can eat one to satisfy my craving

Answer 12

I use my weeklies or fit points thats what they are for, enjoy those two chocolates, track them and move on

Answer 13

I throw mine in the freezer

Answer 14

I try to have willpower but if I keep obsessing, I go ahead and have and get it over with!  

Answer 15

Eat the chocolate!  

Answer 16

Buy sugar free chocolate pudding and add sugar whip mix it and leave in fridge. It’s like eating 2T of ice cream and it’s nice and fluffy. Or make it with lemon pudding with a 70 calorie fiber one bar. AMAZING! This my best trick I leaned to curve my sweet tooth. Chocalate hummus is good too!

@tema25984 what is sugar whip mix?  

---

@pangermanism I meant sugar free cool whip or the light one.  

Answer 17

I am have had a few pieces everyday.  

Answer 18

I always obsess over sweets. My big downfall I have a piece here and there but the weight watchers caramel bar helps a lot

Answer 19

Valentine’s Day chocolates thankfully are not around every day.  

Answer 20

Put it in the freezer, and get a piece every now and then

Answer 21

I ate 2 made from scratch cupcake my niece made me. Lifes to short not to enjoy something as good as them cupcakes.  

Answer 22

One piece a day, enjoy and track points!  

Answer 23

I ate chocolates on Valentine's Day and I've moved on. ❤

Answer 24

Put it in the freezer

Answer 25

Yup. Cut in small pieces and have one daily, if you have tracked well, as a present to you. Don't forget to track this also.  

Answer 26

Save your favorites and give away the rest. Have your favorites over a few days. Putting them in the freezer and taking out a couple a day helps.  

Answer 27

I ate no Chocolates on Valentine’s Day ! But the 1/2 price sales got me! Iam a Chocolate Holick ! I crave chocolate! Yup!  

Answer 28

The best scene I ever saw was in the series opener of This Is Us. Kate took all the junk food out of the house, put it in the bin outside, looked across the street and took the poop bag from the dog walker and spread it on the food in the bin  

Comments

@dibbrun omg I totally forgot about that part! lol thanks for the laugh

---

@dibbrun That’s what you’ve got to do if you’re a food addict like so many of us. I wish Kate had kept that junk out of her house. I worry about the actress who plays her—she carries all that weight in her stomach. So unhealthy.

I have teenage boys who live across the street. I just knock on the door and hand that stuff to them. They are HAPPY to get all those treats. They are tall and thin and there are 3 of them!  

Answer 29

Freeze it

Answer 30

When you shouldn’t. You crave it more.  

Answer 31

If I crave it, I obsess about it and that's when the binge happens. So I just eat 'normal' foods in moderation and I'm losing. You did awesome to eat a couple of pieces and kill the craving.  

Answer 32

Are you kidding? 99% of us do that. It’s very rare to hear of someone sticking to it all the time.  

Answer 33

My last big temptation was pecan tea tassies that my amazing-cook sister-in-law sent home with us after a visit. I finally gave up at the end and finished them off. 3 altogether. I did gain 1lb that week. But the next week I lost 3. 5. So I don’t think this journey is a straight line!  

Answer 34

Better two then a whole box. Today’s another day. Take it a day at a time. If you still have some and want to keep it, freeze it for another time.  

Answer 35

If you were the only one that did this WW wouldn't exist! If you have a craving have a piece of chocolate. Figure out how many points you are willing to spend and have it. This isn't a diet. It is a way of life. Food we love is part of that life! The points are there to keep us in check. Track your chocolate first and then work the rest of the day around it. Have it otherwise you will eat everything else chasing satisfaction.  

Answer 36

I eat choc almost daily. Just 1 piece and try to stay with dark, better for you. No

Answer 37

You are not alone!  

Answer 38

No I love chocolate and I'd be obsessing. I give it to my husband to get it out of my sight!
