@jakedduck1 I think many of us can relate to not being able to eat just one of something. My sister and I were just talking about that the other day. It's often easier to simply not have something in the house at all. Basically it is like being an alcoholic, they can't apparently stop at one drink, and us food-aholics can't stop at just one of something we really like. I have read that it's harder to break a food addiction than it is to break other addictions because you can't just stop eating.

@imallears I eat a very healthy, nutritious diet but I still cannot resist things when they are around, particularly if I have one -- one almost always leads to more than one. I do love sweets. The only sweet I generally buy is dark chocolate, over 70% cocoa, because that's actually good for you too. I work at limiting how much I eat of it.

Hi,

Dark chocolate is my go to also. I have to have a sweet thing after I eat dinner....sometimes lunch too. Always been that way but never had the urge to eat more than one piece so, lucky that way. Can make a slice of cheesecake last 3 nights...need just the taste but the urge is not there for more. That’s a blessing although I can understand the urge for more. Also have to have a glass of wine with dinner...again just one. Guess it’s the way I am hardwired more than will power.
