Well I've heard of a lot of things Irish - but sucking buttons???? How do you fasten your cardis if you've sucked all the buttons off??
My Son-in-law reckons that one square of 'proper' chocolate - the 70% stuff, deals with the chocolate cravings but is so bitter that it doesn't make you want more ..... I don't know but for those of you 'suffering' I'd imagine it must be worth a try ...... ?? xx

One of the things I like to do when I have cravings is to suck slowly on a medjula (sp) date. You buy them in the supermarket, but not the cheappo dates, there are only about 8-10 in a pack. I freeze them, then when I feel like something sweet I suck on a frozen date - it just feels like toffee. Really nice, especially with a cup of options chocolate drink.

LOL @ Jan!! The kids are fed up with me robbing their funsize treats (including their chocolate buttons!), chopping them up & freezing them! Then using them to ease my choc cravings! I only get them bad around my totm.
I blame my 'baby' (now 2!), I hadn't a sweet tooth at all before I got pregnant with her. I could've demolished 6 bags of crisps a day, but wouldn't have thanked you for chocolate! Funny isn't it? At one stage during my preg I was eating 2 yorkies a day!! I 'only' gained 2 1/2stone though? Guess she needed whatever was in it! LOL!
I've heard about the one square remedy, but I'd be afraid if I had a big bar in the house I'd keep going back over & over until it was gone!!

No!! no buttons! bad!:whoopass:
Now....LT is giving you all the vits and minerals along with carbs, protein, fat etc etc that you need.
So..this craving...is exactly that. It's a mental thing. It's not that your body needs something...it's your head!
Think it through.....why are you eating chocolate? really?

Hey irish, do you know you can buy cadbury bars that are only 99calories? They are very thin but they might curb your chocolate craving, and at only 99calories cant go wrong as a little chocolate fix? x
