Try eating chocolate without sugar and that is good for health. So, your addiction can be turned into some use. It is the sugar that is the addictive culprit.

Why stop eating chocolate...it has sooo many benefits:)~
The Health Benefits of Chocolate
Can Chocolate Benefit Your Health?
If you're a fan of chocolate you're in good company. Chocolate is one of the most popular sweet-tasting treats in the world and has been for centuries. But part of the myth surrounding chocolate is that it tastes so good it must be bad for your health. Which gives it an air of the forbidden.
A beautifully wrapped box of chocolates has always been considered a very romantic gift. So if the special person in your life is a self-confessed chocoholic, you know one surefire way to please them on special occasions. But the surprising news from the scientific community is that this reputedly decadent treat actually has some health benefits, especially if you choose your chocolate wisely.
Is Chocolate A Health Food?
Chocolate contains over 300 chemicals, and has been the subject of a number of studies by universities and other scientific organizations. Here's a quick rundown of the results. We have no way of proving or disproving these claims so we offer them here as a stimulus for further research. If you're really interested in the subject, this may provide you with a starting point.
* Cacao, the source of chocolate, contains antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. Of course, this is counteracted by the high sugar content of milk chocolate.
* The smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves, resulting in relaxation.
* Chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a mild mood elevator.
* The cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fat which may raise good cholesterol.
* Drinking a cup of hot chocolate before meals may actually diminish appetite.
* Men who eat chocolate live a year longer than those who don't.
* The flavanoids in chocolate may help keep blood vessels elastic.
* Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood.
* Mexican healers use chocolate to treat bronchitis and insect bites.
* The carbohydrates in chocolate raise serotonin levels in the brain, resulting in a sense of well-being.

You probably have some arthritis.since you eat a lot of chocolates.and sweets.
eat fruits and nuts
Just say no.except once a week on Saturdays you may eat some chocolate.But eat Dark choclolate. it is better for you.
chocolate is very bad for your body.unless it is dark natural chocolate.but to much of about anything like that is bad for the body.
Good Luck,
It IS an addiction you can over come with will power.

And so don't stop! It's so good...I'm addicted to chocolate too! You may reduce quantities, but the verb "eliminate" is not good when talking about diets. The correct verb is "reduce".

Sugar can be very addictive. Try buying sugar free chocolate. There are very good choices out there now. Once you eliminate sugar from your diet, your cravings will eventually diminish!

well I used to buy fast food at this one place- and once I felt very sick and neer went bank again.
Maybe you should eat so much that you would become very sick- you wouldn't want to look at chocolate again-
then again this is a liitle bit too extreme! Maybe you should go for the very very dark chocolate when you buy it. This has less sugar (I think).
