[QUOTE="Sharlieboo, post: 137556, member: 24965"] Hi I used to be a real chocoholic. I could quite happily eat chocolate for breakfast and when my kids were both under 3 I pretty much lived by snacking on chocolate - they always ate healthy food but mine always went cold as I attended to them and then I would snack on a bar of chocolate. I was diagnosed with Type 2 last Dec. Someone suggested I switch to dark chocolate with chilli (I think it's by Lindt) and I although I was really sceptical I have found that I can eat just one square at a time and not every day. Sometimes I go whole weeks without any. I have fallen off the wagon a couple of times since Dec, perhaps 2 or 3 times - (I ate 4 Wispa bars in one day last weekend because I felt so miserable and depressed I had a 'I don't care anymore' day - hubby had bought a multi-pack for the kids but I spotted it) but generally speaking I've managed far better at giving up the chocolate than I ever imagined I would. I'm an all or nothng kind of person when it comes to chocolate but the dark choc with chilli just works for me for some reason. Perhaps try it and see if it works for you too? [/QUOTE]
