I was on the South Beach diet about four months ago, and now chocolate seems to be calling my name. What is one to do when a certain undesirable food just won't leave them alone? It's definitely been a difficult few weeks. Fortunately, I'm still exercising like I was and I'm still eating, in general, as I was...but the darn chocolate is calling my name. So, I've come up with a list of a few options that I have, and that you probably have if something starts to call your name.
1. Listen to it in moderation. There is nothing wrong with having a little bit of chocolate (especially if it's dark chocolate) once in a while. When it's more than once in a while...then the problems begin.
2. Try to substitute the chocolate for something else. Maybe you can have some coffee? Maybe a chocolate mint will work?
3. Get it out of the house! Ok - so my husband likes the chocolate and can eat a little at a time. But who cares!? I can't, and I need it out of the house. Period.
These are my first three ideas...I'm trying to think of others as well. Hope these help as a beginning.
