Thanks for this great news.

"My personal theory is that people who eat chocolate satisfy their cravings with a small amount of chocolate, "

I think the secret to eating chocolate is to let it melt in your mouth. Savor it. By that time, sweet cravings have been satisfied.

I have 2 lbs of dark chocolate and 2 lbs of white chocolate in the freezer. They're taking up a lot of space.

I will now have to force myself to eat a little bit each week. I'll schedule Wednesdays and Saturdays for this chore.

Wow, I’m not worthy. I go from 70% to 85% but never 100%. I was shocked that I could give up my previous favorite milk chocolate. Now dark is more tasty and more satisfying, and milk is far too sweet.

Oh man, I’m gonna get the 6 bars of Snickers next time I’m in the store.

I think it’s also good to point out thatthis must be dark chocolate, not the sugar stuffed milk-chocolate (though I admit, I prefer milk chocolate :)

Yes! Those are like crack - the crunch first, then smooth sweet creamy chocolate. Now I’m craving it like the junkie that I am. LOL!
