For a few years now there has not been one day without eating some chocolate. I just have to have a least one bar. It makes me happier but somedays i eat about 7 bars. Is it BAD for me?

Its up to you really to decide... what will happen is, you will get rotten teeth, addicted, overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, eventually pancreatitis, Type 2 Diabetes, blood vessel and nerve damage, kidney damage. Oh did i mention that the theobromine in chocolate is toxic?
P.S. you feel happy because the chocolate release endorphins in your brains which makes you think u r happy.
Now you decide.... is chocolate bad for you?

Too much of anything is bad. 7 bars is most definitely not good for you on any day. Especially if the chocolate you are eating is commercial low-grade you find in your local variety store. Not all chocolate is made the same. If you eat the right kind (dark chocolate), you could it daily and it is actually quite good for you.

Chocolate is not bad for you, in fact many studies suggest there may be some positive heart benefits from eating chocolate. Needing to eat upwards of seven bars a day might be a symptom of missing some vital nutrient in your diet, however. Take a good look at your overall diet and make sure you're getting a good balance of all the nutrition your body needs.

A little chocolate each day won't hurt, but 7 bars is way too much!
Try saving the choc as a treat until, say, after dinner in the evening, and then limit yourself to one piece of dark plain chocolate - that's worth 10 bars of any ordinary stuff! If you yearn for something sweet before choc time have a piece of fresh or dried fruit .

Most chocolate is loaded with sugar. If you must eat chocolate, eat Russell Stovers' Sugar-free chocolate (The best chocolate in the whole world!). It is a little more expensive than candy bars, and is low in carbs, too. Sugar is bad for you, chocolate is NOT bad for you. You do the math.

Yes, but check health food stores for healthier chocolate with less or no milk (darker chocolate) and dried cane juice instead of sugar. There is actually a chocolate nutritional supplement very good for health called Chocamaca with great herbs from Amazon rainforest like maca and suma in it. See site below.

The most relevant thing you said there was "Have to". You obviously make yoursel believe that.
Nobody has to do anything. Everything we do is by choice.
If you choose to eat chocolate every day. It is up to you. It's your body.
