non stop chocolate craving

for the past 4 days i have craved nothing but chocolate brownies, oreo milkshakes, and chocolate pudding
i can't seem to stop this craving, its driving me mad because i'm not going to let myself pig out on anything because i've already put on weight from being ill most of this year...
any ideas how to stop it, or what it is that i am actually craving i.e. is it that i need iron or zinc or something? or is there something else healthy i can eat which might stop the craving? dark chocolate isn't working, and i can't go any where near carob with wanting to be sick...
any help would be fantastic!

i wouldn't consider chocolate as a strange craving
Lol me neither, pretty normal in my opinion
i've caved in and bought chocolate pudding and 2 packs of oreo...
i just can do without piling on the pounds right now
I find a rich chocolate would cure the pangs far better than some 'chocolate flavour biscuit'.
Then eat some broccolli..
Then your craving will be sated for a little bit
maya gold normally does it for me, but not atm! Is this craving unstoppable?
don't eat lots of chocolate then. its not hard.
just drink some low cal hot chocolate or something. it might stop you craving it so much
this.
Iron will is the only medicine.
its actually starting to seriously irritate me, because i'm eating so much i'm feeling sick but i can't really stop myself...
maybe i should drink more juice and see if that helps...
have you tried looking at pictures of chocolate on the internet?
food porn :yes:
Incidentally, I disagree with the 'it's not hard' comment. When you're seriously craving something and it's available, it is hard. I get uber cravings for Krispy Kremes and even though I told myself "I'll only get one for myself" last time I went into one, I ended up buying a box of 12. Maybe I don't have willpower but sometimes it's not as simple as just not doing it.
Luby - the hot chocolate idea is a good one (though maybe not practical with the current weather ). Find yourself a pack of white-hot chocolate. Half a mug and you'll be sick of chocolate for weeks .
because you've always found it that easy, haven't you. :yeees:
Its not a big deal
