I genuinely live on chocolate. Please no judgements

[Nowanextraone]

OK I'm genuinely embarrassed to write this but I feel a 'confession' will hopefully be a pathway to recovery (if that's the right word)!!

I am addicted to chocolate. Cadbury's chocolate. I wish I was joking but I'm not .

I am about a stone overweight (I weigh 11 stone) at 5 foot 4 but my weight hasn't changed for years. Despite my chocolate intake, I stick to about 2000 calories a day.

But for my health, my diet is SHOCKING. My day is basically a 100g bar of cadbury's chocolate for breakfast, and another for lunch 😖 None of my family know I do this, it's like my dirty secret. I have done it for years (genuinely 7/8 years).
I don't eat anything normal or proper during the day.

Then for dinner, I eat a normal, healthy family (home cooked) dinner. Then in the evening, I might share a few squares of chocolate with my husband as a 'treat' (he has no idea about the rest of my day!).

What do I do? I have tried, but I'm honestly like a heroin addict trying to get to her next hit and it all goes wrong by lunch time and I'm back buying the chocolate.

I honestly don't know what to do. I am permanently tired. I'm also permanently hungry during the day. I feel very very unhealthy.

How are you doing now OP?X

Hi OP, I know this is a really old thread but can I ask how you are getting on now? I’m addicted to chocolate (100g bar most nights, sometimes more, maybe a couple of nights a week without it) and desperate to kick it. Did anything help?

Not the OP but I started Mounjaro a few months ago and that's the only thing that's ever helped with the chocolate addiction. Haven't even thought about it since I started, having been in a much worse situation than you or the OP all my life.

I know this is an ancient thread but I wonder how OP got on. I have a similar problem - I eat under 2000 calories most days, but a lot of it is sweets/pastries/chocolate and I don't know how to stop.

Likewise for a diet that is limited in choices and nutritionally terrible.

I kept myself underweight for years but lost my grip on that in 2025. Now I'm at the low end of the healthy BMI range, but the weight was gained by eating an excess of mostly sweet, fatty food.

I haven't found a way to change those habits that I've stuck to yet. If anything particularly works, I'll share.
