How to Eat a Little Chocolate at a Time

Learn to Eat a Small Bit of Chocolate Not the Whole Vat
If you'd like to learn how to obtain quality chocolate, put it in
a drawer and forget it's there, learn to use EFT and NLP
techniques to conquer your emotional eating. That's what I've
done, and it's such a freeing thing to be able to feel right with
the world, be happy with myself, my shape, and not feel
controlled by something like food. I eat what I want, but I do
make an effort to make good choices (usually). For example, last
night I baked a cake I made on Easter and totally loved (Better
than Sex cake). This thing is nothing more than yellow cake,
vanilla pudding and tons of whipped cream - not exactly diet
fare, but when I can't get a certain food out of my head, I
usually either make it or go and get it, and then totally enjoy
it. That's what I mean when I said I eat what I want. So today, I

this bad boy and it's 15.5 Oz! Almost a pound of dough and sugar
- oh my). Small container of Scharffen Berger chocolates. This
little clear box comes with 12 squares equalling 2.1 Oz.
Individually wrapped. I put them in the drawer. A dozen of my
favorite shortbread cookies which I put in a drawer in the
kitchen. My husband will eat them if he sees them, so unless he
says something about "wanting something sweet" I wait to let him
know they are there. While watching a movie last night (Friday
night ritual) I did start to get sort of hungry so I thought
about what to do about it. I recalled how I'm feeling much better
lately, getting back to a regular routine of exercise, and I just
didn't feel like eating a lot of cookies. Yes, they were there,
but I just wasn't in the mood to eat them. I had a pang of
