Easter is over but chances are, the chocolate is far from gone. I can relate--the Easter Toblerone I was gifted is staring me down from across the room as we speak. Luckily, I recently stumbled across
this excellent post on Diet Blog on how to deal with chocolate cravings. Here are a couple of gems:
- Eat something that really doesn't go with chocolate. Like something garlicky. Or a dill pickle.
- Fulfill your craving in a healthy way with, say, a small glass of low-fat chocolate milk or hot cocoa
- Do something else, such as taking a walk. It will take your mind of the sweet stuff.
- Hide it. Or, if worst comes to worst, throw it in the trash.
Still tempted? Head over to

I don't think any of these hints about helping to keep away from chocolate would ever help me. Chocolate, to me, is just like alcohol to an alcoholic. I DO keep away from it as much as possible. I am a diabetic and have had two heart surgeries, and should never have anything with sugar in it, but I'm also human and still love the things I shouldn't have. I DO treat myself once in a while, but mainly deny myself this beautiful chocolate.
