I crave chocolate before TOM also. I had a bad time last month, because I bought 12 carbolite bars & finished them in one weekend. This caused a weight gain of 4 lbs. I am not going to buy them next month. I will just struggle thru it.

I have been on induction since NOVEMBER! I have lost a total of 3 lbs. I just weened my son from breastfeeding 5 days ago. Some people have told me that the body holds on to that last 10lbs when breastfeeding. We will see what happens over the next few weeks.

Don't give up. Just remember, one bite of cheating can bring back ALL those carb cravings that you worked so hard to get over. That one bite you took probably kicked in the cravings causing you to eat more of it later. Don't even take one bite!

Good luck,
