I'm trying to do month end reports, figure out new front desk schedule, worry about money, worry about upcoming layoffs in the office, stressing about my personal life and I want chocolate. Why? Because the taste of it in my mouth makes me happy. Yes, I could go to the store and buy an apple, or some carrots. They do not make me happy the way the taste of chocolate does. I've already eaten 14 peanut M&M's and 1 hershey kiss. I'm drinking water. A lot of it. No, I know it's not the safest, healthiest, best decision. I know that. I just need someone to grab my ankles and keep me in my chair so I don't go in the back and get some more candy. Someone to tell me I'm not a loser to help keep those negative thoughts at bay. Someone to tell me I'm not alone and not a freak. Please.

No you're not alone... I think I have a chocolate addiction, and its strange how when so much is going on...all I can think of is chocolate.
Not sure if this helps, but my nutritionalist says that I have to allow myself and let myself have the chocolate sometimes. If you eat it today, it will not make you fat, it won't kill you, and don't feel guilty about it. Its hard not to feel guilty but you just have to accept that you want it and just let yourself. The only way of gaining weight is if I continously eat the chocolate, binge on it every day... large amounts... but one day will not hurt. Nor will two days. So if you want the chocolate, let yourself have it. Chances are you are no where close to fat.
If you don't want the chocolate, turn your seat around, call someone and talk to them...do whatever you can to keep your mind off of it until your job is done for the day. Reward yourself with a hershy kiss for doing so well, and head out the door.
Don't feel discouraged, many people here go through the same problem as you with chocolate. I think I fear it as much as I love it.
good luck
