How to Eat a Little Chocolate at a Time by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP

hunger, but I wasn't really hungry, it was nearly midnight for

crying out loud!

So, I ate one of those chocolate squares - remember, they're

pretty small right? Well I ate it in four bites, letting the

chocolate melt in my mouth. I take my time with chocolates and

they satisfy me so much more than just popping it in my mouth,

chewing twice and swallowing. I'm not in a hurry to get it over

with.

Discovering Lost Candy

This morning I checked my body fat and it just happens I keep my

Omron Body Fat Analyzer in the closet on top of a leftover

chocolates box from last Christmas. I decided to look inside the

box since I thought there was one of those chocolates still

leftover and I was surprised to find two of those Christmas

chocolates in there (Joseph Schmidt truffles - some of my

favorites) and about eight squares of that very same chocolate I

bought yesterday (Scharffen Berger). I forgot they were there.

So, you see, I handle my cravings by buying the foods I want,

then putting them away and maybe eating them, maybe not. For me

it's the need to know I can have what I want - and keeping

something nearby in case of emergencies. I also know if I leave

things out where I'll see them, I'm much more likely to decide to

have some, so I put them away. For you it may be different. Some

of you won't want anything tempting in the house. That's okay

too. We're all different. The only way you'll discover how you

are is to tackle those emotional issues - the reasons you think

you can't stop eating after a handful or two; the reasons you

feel like it's out of your control, or not your decision how much

you eat, when you eat or what you eat.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to buy your favorite food and

leave it in a drawer long enough to forget it's even there?

That's what it's like to not have an eating problem, and that

comes from giving yourself permission to enjoy food. You are

worthy, you do deserve to be happy.

My methods can help--I know because they've worked for me, and I

truly have had a sweet tooth since I was a child. I used to eat

bag after bag of candy--I once had 11 cavities in one dentist

visit! You can learn to enjoy a bit of chocolate too.
