I'm an everything-in-moderation girl (except for the Halloween candy that calls my name as I walk by). I love sweets, especially chocolate. I will never not eat chocolate, but I can make choices of how much chocolate to eat and when to eat it (not late at night).

If you have the chocolate craving after you eat, keep bite size chocolates on hand. Only get out 1-2 pieces or you will defeat the purpose. If I have candy, I will usually ask my husband to hide it and ration it to me. Know your weaknesses and enlist the help of others, but don't totally deprive yourself.
