The 6 Categories Of Chocoholics, And How To Overcome Your Cravings
Is chocolate your personal weakness when it comes to eating healthy? If you're like other "chocoholics" then you'll be surprised to realize that it's not the chocolate itself that's so hard to deal with. You probably fall into one of these six categories. It may be tough, but you've got to be honest with yourself and admit which one you end up in.
Secret Bingers - These are the people who "hide" sweets, or eat it in secret.
Romantics - This is a killer single people. They use chocolate as a substitute for real affection.
Comfort Eaters - Eat chocolate to get over being tired, or stressed out. (this is most common)
Weekend Warriors - The type of person who takes advantage of weekends as an excuse to eat away.
Sugar Addicts - If you're getting most of your calories from carbs, you might use chocolate as an energy booster when you're feeling tired.
Premenstrual Cravers - I think we all know what this one's about.
There's nothing wrong with having some chocolate from time to time, in fact, dark chocolate can be good for you in moderation, but you need to start getting into the emotional reason behind why you're eating it.
The fact of the matter is, there's almost always some emotional component behind eating junk food. It's not just about chocolate, I'm talking about chips, cookies and other types of candy too.
Identifying why you're eating junk food, instead of a healthier alternative, is something you're eventually going to have to figure out if you want to have those pounds fall off, and stay off.
