You should switch to dark chocolate with a high percentage
of cocoa solids like 60-70%. I can get by with 2/3 of an oz
per day and couple of tablespoons of cocoa each with a heaping
teaspoon of sugar and mixed with hot water and less than an oz of
milk on the worst day.

If I allow myself this much chocolate and cocoa I find
much less need to overdose myself on sugary sweets such
as you describe.

I love Chocolate and other sweet treats. I can't seem to control myself
when I am around them. I ate a hole box of Caremel delights in less
then two days. I guess I can call myself severe.

Funny! But it sounds like you enjoy candy more than chocolate - were they
chocolate-covered caramels?

Take time to try some higher-end dark chocolate...and feel less guilty if
you eat an ounce a day.
