Chocolate has been a good 'friend' over the years,we've been through relationships,break-ups,marriage,divorce it's the one thing I can always rely on to make me feel good.
Now if I could only stop at 1 bar (BOGOF's are great-except you eat twice as much)!

At one point (in a previous existence) i would even eat cooking chocolate if I was desperate for a fix and thats all we had in the house BUT now I don't eat foods with sugar in and I have found that I have lost the craving for anything sweet including chocolate.
You can actually retrain your palate by abstaining - after two or three days of choccy craving...the urge will subside.

Move over from the sugary stuff to the proper dark chocolate.
Try the Lidl 70% stuff. It's about 70p per massive bar and you can't eat more than 3 sections until the bitterness is too much.
I love it.Happy chappy0 -

Have you tried Ex-Lax? A bit more expensive but two or three bars should cure your addiction;)
PS I should buy a few rolls of Tesco Value Toilet Rolls at the same time:rolleyes:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
