I am currently "on the wagon" when it comes to chocolate and just at the beginning of my own weight loss journey. I found that I have to retrain my brain, like you I can't just have a piece or chocolate or row I need several or the whole block it isn't a case of a biscuit or 2 to be satisfied I want 1/2 the packet at least....

The only way I can combat that at the moment is not to have that food in the house, so the first week instead of buying 3 or 4 big packets of chips + biscuits, chocolate etc... I cut it down, it still went as quick as ever I just ate it in the first few days instead of all week. We now don't buy any packets of chips for example. At the moment if I start I can't stop so I am better off not having it in the house until I can control myself (hope that makes sense)

I have alternatives that may or may not work for you....
  • instead of my daily chocolate biscuit/bar fix I have hot chocolate in just chocolate, mint or caramel flavours mmmmm good with just cold (skim ) milk
  • low fat everything.... you can get 50% less fat cheese, no fat yoghurt - be wary of no fat milk it is disgusting, I tend to swing between farmers best and no frills skim as farmers best is exxy but taste better...
  • try cornthings instead of chips, they have that crunch and salty factor that chips offer and are great with cuecumber and tomatoe on them



I have found going low fat/no fat is more expensive then normal food but I look at it as an investment in my future and I won't need this sort of food forever just while I am retraining myself with portion control etc....

Ali mentioned a really good point, if you do have a craving do indulge, try to have less then what you would normally have and congragulate yourself. If you do go overboard don't beat yourself up try and get back on the wagon and let the next meal be healthier

Hope that helps and goodluck
