Chocolate cravings...

In Reply to: Need a cure! - dyin here ...
I find it more tempting working at home to eat junk -esp. when I get bored transcribing. SO, I just don't keep it in the house cause if it's here, I'll probably sooner or later eat some! LOL...Unfortunately, my husband (who is trim, dang him!) always has a bag or two of mini candy bars in the fridge. I just put them to the back where I can't see them. Or, I will buy the Slim-Fast snack bars, which are QUITE good! Only about 120 calories each, which is better than 280 for a candy bar. Hope that helps!

What to do for mid-month cravings?
Help, ladies! I am 42 and am finding myself having major mid-month cravings now. I am not overweight and keep in good shape through diet and exercise, but come mid-month of my cycle all you-know-what breaks loose! It has become nothing to buy and eat a bag of chips, a large chocolate bar, and then go prowling around my house for something else "bad" to eat. After a few days I feel back to normal, but I really feel out of control for a few days a month now. Any suggestions? 
I've heard that gum and snack foods are cravings they get. Nothing meltable!
Lemme look.
chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate
chocolate
I like to have flavored coffee in the afternoon - German Chocolate Cake coffee from Barnie's is good and no cals (well maybe literally 5!). Otherwise, brush your teeth :)
I won Chocolate too and it was such a fun wk
         
bribe myself with chocolate
I set my goal of 30 minutes, 200 lines, whatever, and once I meet my goal I get to eat a piece of candy that I keep sitting below my monitor as motivation. Reese's peanut butter cups and Dove chocolate are my fave!
chocolate fountain
I saw one of these at the opening of a store and the person that owned the fountain, stayed and attended to it. I didn't see how it was set up or taken down. It was a really neat thing and the fresh fruits and other accompaniments were yummy.
I won chocolate this year! Thank you again.
love
chocolate and lots of it! nm

I love the RS chocolate pecan ones especially! (nm)
And dunk the extra into chocolate!
 I am changing the meaning of this emoticon. She is melting chocolate!
Thanks for reminding me I have bananas in my freezer, lol. Maybe I'll make some banana bread today too.
Chocolate-covered strawberries.....Yum Yum!!!

Me, too, but it's the dark chocolate. I get up and do something else, have a few bites, and then

Chocolate banana milkshakes. sm
Nephrology doc had me on these twice a day when my protein and electrolytes were low. Ice cream, 1 banana and milk, add chocolate, whip it up in the blender. I even used to throw my multivitamin in there for good measure. Tasted so good I got addicted to them. LOL-it was a great chocolate fix. I think you could add some peanut butter in there, too, for a different twist and it has plenty of protein.
I'll take anything that's dark chocolate, thanks! :) nm

Well, I'll be dipped in chocolate!
Yes, I am connected through a VPN! That would explain it . . . when I'm not connected, I don't have the problem! Thanks so much - you've solved my problem!
Talking about chocolate frosting--
I bought 1 of these smaller, looks like birthday cake, at the store yesterday and ate almost the whole thing, after dinner. I paid for that last night - did not have my head high enough up on my pillow and the reflux kicked in. I should know than to do that but gosh, the chocolate was saying eat me - and I was just thinking about that diet yesterday.
I agree with the suggestion of dark chocolate.
Also, I keep a bag of Hershey's kisses hidden. Whenever I need a boost, I just let one melt in my mouth. I can't eat an entire candy bar or bag of M&Ms. Too much sugar!
Aren't Dove Chocolate Caramels to die for?
No message sweetie. Send me some Dove candies.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Craving!

(sigh)
It's similar to German Chocolate cake, but
you put the pecans and coconut on the bottom of the pan and layer the chocolate cake mix with a drizzled layer of cream cheese and (can't find my recipie!!) When you bake it the cake cracks in the areas that you have drizzled the cream cheese mixture, thus the name. It's soooooo good!
The post regarding nearly attacking the can of chocolate frosting?
 I'm glad you spirits are lifted Hayseed cuz you always give me a chuckle with your witty posts.
Now go climb those mountains, you goat, you. 
I hope she's frolicking with my beloved 2yo chocolate Lab, who left us 2 yrs ago.

No you can't survive on sex and chocolate but will die happy probably pretty quickly.
It would be a bummer to watch Johnny Dep get old and cranky anyway.
sean connary, chocolate, white wine
that would be perfect.
Milk chocolate. Forget the rest of the candy.
I like most of the mini chocolate bars, but especially Butterfinger, KitKat, and Mr. Goodbar.
long walk, eat chocolate, gripe to husband :)

Has anyone here ever rented a chocolate fountain? We're thinking of using one for DD's weddin
reception and are wondering just how easy or difficult they are to set up and take down, and if there are any problems during use of. Anyone?
Thanks! 
I think it's the Baskin Robbins Chocolate Mint hard candies

George Clooney, chocolate dipped strawberries, and Dom Perignon champagne.

Candy corn is my fave, but not the Sam's Choice stuff. Eww. The only chocolate I really love is S
what's on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I always wonder what it is that they do to their chocolate to make it so good.
Since I gave up eating sugar and refined carbs, I don't crave chocolate sm
I gave up sugar and refined carbs in March of 2004 and I don't crave anything "bad" anymore. I actually had withdrawal-type symptoms for a few days though.
I feel much, much better now :)
My sister makes Clipper Ship Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Milk chocolate chips, sometimes toasted pecans, and varies between Grand Marnier or sometimes Amaretto in them!
Oooooooooo!!!! Large cookies, and fresh baked with a glass of super cold milk!
Now my mouth is watering! LOL
Take all foods with ASPARTAME out of diet. Stop cokes, chocolate. Eat leafy green veggies. Drink
just did a research for a friend of mine whose doctor had given her vit E and quinine for her leg cramps. When I was researching I ran across the above to go with your type symptoms along with the leg cramps.

Three dogs...Max our mixed, CoCo our chocolate cocker and Monroe our Cavilier King Charles spaniel,

Use less salt than directed in the recipes. Try the powdered milk hot chocolate recipes! Yummy :-)

Just one? Texas cake (chocolate cake no frosting) and ...
the other favorite is butter cake with chocolate frosting. Or chocolate with chocolate fudge frosting. Not sophisticated, but wonderful choices all.
