I can't stop!

[LBTC]

Hey! I'm having one of those mornings when I can't stop eating! 3 pieces of chocolate (dark, sweetened with beet sugar, and with a touch of mint) and I'm worried I won't stop today! It's not even 10:30 am yet!!

Ack!!

I guess I should have more water!

ummm chocolate. how big were the pieces? and what did you eat for breakfast.
Yes have some more water and get thee away from the food!

Have you tried the new cereals with choc.? I know one is Special K and I think the other is a Chex. I haven't tried it, I'm not a big choc fan.

How big? 7 1/2 pieces would be 220 calories.

Shortly after my first post I stopped, by lunch time I actually didn't feel like eating, but ate my home made special rice noodle spaghetti with meat sauce. I did pretty well in the afternoon, too. I just started on the chocolate again, time to take evasive action again. This is good healthy chocolate, but too much of any good thing is still too much. :eek:

Breakfast was my usual rice krispies (closer to fitting my naturopathic prescribed diet than special K, believe it or not....) with a sliced banana, a serving of fresh blueberries and goat milk. And a cup of Tazo Lemon Mate tea. Hmmm, I haven't had that tea with breakfast before, maybe that was it? I think I was just bored at work. I do that - munch on whatever I have when I'm bored at my desk. I'm just starting to reintroduce raw vegetables. I hope that works well as I'd rather munch on those than chocolate! (not that I don't enjoy the choc!)

heehee

Hugs & butterflies,

hey LBTC! I know what your going through. I usually don't eat a lot of sweets, maybe a small piece of chocolate after dinner but that's it. But with losing the job and trying to find a new one, finals papers that need to be written, and whatever else life has thrown at me, my chocolate craving has increased, A LOT:eek: ! So, today, I had it. I never ever eat like this but I did today: Giant black bean burger with fries:eek: and more than a few pieces of chocolate :cool: (along with my veggies and fruit and other good foods). It's ok to eat like that every once in a while (not all of the time or consistently). sometimes when I get a serious craving that I resist and doesn't go away for days, even weeks, I eat enough for taste.
It's ok, just make sure that you keep the good foods more often and consistently.
