Alternative to chocolate?

[Chipstick]

Two years ago I lost 6.5 stones with WW - the weight flew off in 46 weeks and during that time I had no cravings and was totally dedicated. However, having now been at goal for all that time I'm beginning to slip and 1 stone has crept back on - even though I'm devastated I can't stop eating - I'm like a woman possessed!
For all you chocoholics out there, please give me some nibbly alternatives - I'm desperate....

carrot batons? celery? sorry chocolate is chocolate, I find it best to stick to small Fredo bars .

sorry, there's no substituting chocolate .. i just ate a bag of maltesers

Very, very dark chocolate, you can only manage a square or two before you get sick of it, it's bitter!!!

try green & blacks dark chocolate.....when i am on my healthy eating wagon..i eat it, you cannot eat a lot of it, as it is rich.it is also full of anti oxidants

well done on losing so much weight,.....! don;t lose heart now!

M&S Count on Us chocolate mousses have quite an intense chocolate 'hit' (not the same mouthfeel as genuine chocolate, sadly) and are only 1.5 WW points each.

Thanks for all your replies, the dark chocolate idea is great.

I dropped down to one meeting per month but have decided as of the new year I'm going to recommence weekly meetings until I'm back to goal. You are absolutely right - getting the weight off was the easy part - keeping it off is going to be a life time battle for me. I am still going to the gym twice per week, I just have to start planning my daily meals again and generally being more organised. If I've eaten well during the day, in the past I haven't got the evening munchies. xx

I think for some people particularyl sugar addicts it's all or nothing with chocolate. Weed yourself off it gradually. Best to avoid it. Try to have 5 hour gaps between 3 regular meals.

Well I can eat a large slab bar of Green and Blacks Dark chocolate no problem!

I'm a choc addict as well and struggle not to eat it. I find the best thing is to try and go cold turkey as then I don't get sugar rushes. Of course I can't manage longer than a week!

rhubarbcat: You're tough!

gradual weaning off it works with some people - www.radiantrecovery.com - web site about sugar addiction.

I prefer yummy fruits such as strawberries, grapes or rasberries to chocolate.

I find I have to go cold turkey and not have it. After about a week I stop craving it and then don't actually want it. If I do want a chocolate hit I drink those Options drinks. The Turkish delight one is yummy. I'm definitely an all or nothing girl with chocolate.

I munch grapes all day when I'm at work.

I've been doing Slimming World and lost 2 stones, but during December started eating chocolate again and now I'm drinking Coke too. I'd gone off that too, so I'm going to check out that website when I have more time Xenia, thanks!
