When I learned I was diabetic, I first tried to not eat any chocolate. Then I discovered that just a small amount (half a dozen mini chocolate chips) would satisfy my craving without blowing my diet. Something along this line might work for you, too.

theres such a thing of a diet that wont deprive u of sweets. If your willing to spend 90 dollars a week try Jenny craig their desserts are really good.

I'm trying to avoid sneaking a few candies too (Welcome to my world!) and I found that doing something you don't like when you sneak a sweet helps. Or, do a few push-ups every time you do it. Or, have somebody - or something, maybe one of those new trip lasers, like that thing that beeps when you cross the laser - guard the sweets. Or, just don't have any sweet-tooth foods in the house at all!

Try "buying" chocolates for a change. The more money you send on them you will probably lose the habit.

Start out slow! Every day or week (if you are really addicted) bring down your chocolate intake. Exapmle: on 12/31/05 you eat 1500 calories of sweets. on the seventh of Jan. bring it down to 1250. Next week down to 1000. Then 750. Then 500. Then 250. Then only an ocasional sweet. Good for you to attempt to break such a bad habit. It's a good new years resolution. You did the right thing, the first step has already been done, relize that you have a problem. Good for you!
