I experienced something very nasty earlier today. I ate two small bars of chocolate (well within the 'sell-by' date), and I felt ill. Is that possible? I used to be able to put away a huge bar of chocolate or two in one sitting, no problem, yummy. Since I started up jogging earlier this year and watched my diet a bit more I hardly touch any sweets now. But being sick of chocolate? Is that possible? Do I have some sort of strange illness and should seek time off work? Has anyone else had an unnatural chocolate illnesses? You advice please. I need help! flaming balloons |

Being a migraine sufferer, I'm not supposed to each chocolate to begin with (I never really liked it that much anyhow so I feel I'm not missing much). But on occasion I do find that I like eating some chocolate things like brownies. However, when I decided to get/eat healthier, I noticed that most things bad for my body would actually make me feel ill after eating them. Hasn't really bothered me much as it helps me stay away from things I shouldn't eat in the first place. :) |

But on occasion I do find that I like eating some chocolate things like brownies. That could be a clue OzzFan. Thanks for that. I'm now able to get into trousers that were far too tight just 3 months ago, in fact I've been punching extra holes in my belt. I must admit I feel sexier now that my midriff is disappearing :P flaming balloons |

I've had similiar experiences... and switched to the products labeled as sugar free... I am addicted to caramel filled chocolate- and I found that Hershey's makes a grand version that is 'sugar free'- it's not made with artificial stuff- it's sugar free.. and I cannot taste the difference. There are other brands I've tried that I could and was disappointed in. Yes, sorry to say- Werther's Originals sugar free has a vastly different taste than teh traditional version. It's the artificial sweeteners. So from one weightloss warrior to another- try the sugar free versions. He who trims himself to suit others soon whittles himself away. - Raymond Hull |

Now there is an option I hadn't considered MzSnowleopard. I haven't had sugar in my coffee or tea for many years now, in fact can't drink it if it has sugar in it. But I've always been partial to chocolate, sweets, cakes and puddings. Many years ago I suffered from stomach ulcers and had a partial vagotomy which cured the problem. But prior to that I was advised to eat liquorice and Pontefract Cakes to help with the ulcers and am still addicted to them even after all these years :P But I must admit my weight loss started when I started up smoking again earlier this year, I simply stopped snacking all the time and generally ate far less of everything and hardly any sweets. I also started up jogging regularly again at the same time (I have medals for half marathons and 10K's from years back). I'm now back to the weight I was 20 years ago and feel much better for it, although not suggesting the smoking will help everyone ;)
I've been advised to go and see my doctor because of my drastic weight loss, but as much as I am whittling away and my trousers are starting to hang off me, I have had some complements from ladies at work and elsewhere, and really don't mind suiting them and getting those complements :) flaming balloons |

The day that happens to me, just shoot me. I have to quote this statement.. lol.. The strange thing is that i most of my life didnt eat chocolate. If i bought one, i had to throw it away later on, as it had become old and grey.. hmm.. Cant believe it ;-) Well.. about 5 years ago it suddenly changed.. now i just cant get enough of it.. I have not got any weight problem because of it.. (so i have desided i "need" it somehow..pP But..in my mind i have started to worry a bit about my addiction.. because i have heard that chocolate is a kind of a substitute.. ehh..?? haha.. I wonder if something is wrong...somehow.. |

Probably a good idea...after my wife started Weight Watchers, chocolate made her really ill. |

If you know how many people are suffering extremely working for the chocolate industry you'll feel much better about not eating it! :) "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Actually I'll be in for a week with no Chocolate and no Caffeine when I go to Utah. My sis-in-law is Mormon and doesn't allow either in the house. |

Nestle is a fine corporation... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyAzxmN2s0w They would like to gain rights to all water on the planet figuring it is not community property.
