Eating Disorder
I have a big eating disorder, and no, it's not anorexia.. it's the total oppsite. I'm addicted to food.. :( But mainly 1. Chocolate. I've lost alot of weight, but then I drastically gained it back because I just can't stop eating chocolate. It's weird, I have to have at least a peice of something chocolately every day, or else I don't want to eat because nothing seems appealing. I bought my boyfriend a ton of chocolates for our 1 year anniversary, but he left them at my house and doesn't want to get them untill this upcoming weekend... and my God i've eaten a ton of them. There's at least 300 chocolates in there, and i've eaten like 30. I can't stop eating. I just have completely no will power anymore, and I need some motivation. Someone please help me. I'm running out of solutions.

Yes, you very well could have an eating disorder. Compulsive eatind or something like that. Or you could really really like chocolate. I highly recomend talking to a doctor or a phycologist (sp??). If you accually do have an eating disorder, the problem will most likely get worse, not better, without professional help.
Hope I helped!

Liking chocolate is understandable. For the time being, tell yourself that these chocolates belong to your boyfriend and they're not yours to eat. That way, you won't eat any more of those.
The main thing you have to do is not let yourself be exposed to chocolate. Don't buy it, don't order anything chocolatey at restaurants, tell your friends not to give it to you or keep it in sight when you're around.
You might also want to
a) Find a substitute for chocolate. I know for sure there's some sort of chocolate-flavored gum out there. Chew it, maybe it actually tastes like chocolate. I'm not sure.
b)Think about getting some professional help. Talk to a psychiatrist or someone. Even just your regular doctor.

Even though it's his present, I would throw it all away! I would buy him something else so he'll still have a present. And if you're really that much of a chocolate addict, I hope you won't go in the trash and still eat it! And if you would, then go to the big ol' trash dumpster!

Food ... definately one of the hardest addictions to recover, because well food is not only a source of vital energy, we use it for get togethers, we use it to celebrate, we are social beings that use food as the foundation for most of our gatherings ... it's not like smoking where dropping the nasty habit all together will not harm you.
Have you ever noticed the more you can't have something the more you want of it! Don't cut out chocolate all together ... but do moderate your intake ... as long as you stay physically active and eat moderately it really doesn't matter what you eat. I wouldn't jump on the diet fad of the time because they promise fast results. Realize your wait is tied in with your lifestyle choices, and as long as those don't change, your weight will come back. Change takes time (I know, you probably are not wanting to hear that, I hate that advice myself, I want results and want it now) Trust me though in the long run it will be for the better if you just make tiny changes here and there ... start doing active things with friends (swimming, running, basketball, rollerskating ... make sure it's something you enjoy so you keep at it) and eat what you enjoy but only in moderation. You'll continue enjoying life and results will shine through as a result ;)
Hope this helps you,

Hiya,
Try drinking half a glass of water after eating some chocolate. It's the taste of the chocolate that makes you want more, so once you've had one, you'll keep wanting more. Restrict yourself to the one then leave it ten minutes - after drinking water to get rid of the taste. If you are still craving it, try brushing your teeth - I never want to eat stuff after I've brushed my teeth because it always tastes nasty!!
Put these chocolates somewhere you hate going or find it hard to get to, so it's more of an effort to find them. If you don't like cold, hard chocolate, then put them in the fridge.
I hope that helped a little!
Blessed Be,

This is an addiction. I am suggesting that you have your mom, or just you, throw the chocolate away, or hide it and lock it up. You should get fruits, vegetables, meat, all of the good stuff, and live on that, chocolate is very good, but you should have it every so often, not everyday. You have to bare with yourself at keeping occupied and that won't make it harder to bare. Hide everything that is chocolate, after about a month, reward yourself with a glass of chocolate milk, and a Hershey bar. After not doing something for a about 21 days, its no longer a habit. So, I don't think you'll start up again with it. But, don't ever go and get the chocolate fo any reason, even if you're crying, or need it badly, just don't eat it, you will live without it, you can't let chocolate control your life.

Find other foods that don't contain chocolate. Throw away anything thats chocolate and it will help motivate you to stop

Eat the chocolate substitue, or low fat chocolate ice cream, or low fat sugar free chocolate type things. I find like the low sugar chocolate fudgesicles to be quite good. Hope I helped
