Some tips for curbing chocolate cravings

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 Diet Blog for some more tips, and make sure to share some of your own!

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.
