without chocolate!

Anyone got any tips to stop the cravings? Bearing in mind I can't have just one or two squares at a time, it has to be a family size bar or nothing! And please don't suggest carrot sticks....they are NO substitute!

There is no substitute for chocolate! There's no crt (choc replacement therapy), it's a vicious circle of eat, crave, eat some more!! :D

Just buy really small bars??

Thanks Marg....I'll put them on the list but somehow I don't think they'll quite hit the spot!

What I'm actually looking for is something that tastes like chocolate but doesn't contain the same amount of sugar and fat. Ex-lax isn't too far off but I'd dread the consequences if I ate a whole bar :eek:

I did mention I don't do small bars...I'd just end up going to the shop 10 times in one day :o

You might have something there Marg!

I wonder how many bags I could manage in a day?

Trouble is...I should really stay off anything 'nice'. The quitting fags was to stop clogging the arteries up along with my high cholesterol.

Right...back to square one.

Anyone got any suggestions for something naughty and nice that won't clog up my arteries. Doesn't matter if they're clean or not I'm game for anything :D

CT it is I think....although I have got some self control. There are 4 big chocolate bars in the cupboard that we brought back from Norway for over Xmas. The only reason I can't eat them is because it would be impossible to replace them with identical bars....only 3 weeks to go though :eek:

I love you JJ!!!

I'm low carbing so no chocolate for me, however two friends have both bought me a large bar of cadburys today!! I do have will power but I think those 2 bars may push me over the edge!! I'd share with you (but no one else:))

Oh and I have just found a fantastic offer on some red wine I like so I also have 4 bottles of red sat on my desk!! No hope.

CHOCOLATE........RED WINE......:mad:

I'm loving my water and mouth wash thank you....happily share with anyone who would like some...;)

nsd_user663_5401

Oh hon, both chocolate and red wine are awful and besides your mouth wash will not gain you 4 inches on your hips will it!!

I will save you a chunk (small).

Bradders - You will lose that bet, NEVER, NEVER bet against a woman and chocolate (she will just go to the supermarket!!)

Oh dear...I know nothing about betting odds! Perhaps that's just as well as I'd probably get addicted to that too:(

And Christine...I thought I'd go for a wander later behind the dorms...meet you there! ;)

Try lucoade glucose sweets/tablets. You can get them at sainsburys. They were recomended by my smoking nurse xx
