Struggling with weight loss - chocolate addiction

Hi all,

So firstly I’ll say I know how to lose weight. I know about CICO I’ve tried it. It 100% works and it makes complete sense.

Now I weigh 80kg. I previously weighed 65kg in 2017. And I have gained 15kg over the years. I am not necessarily trying to get back to 65kg but I’d be really happy at 70kg. (I’m 5ft6 female)

In terms of my diet - I am plant based and I am vegan. I don’t eat meat or fish or dairy products* there’s a caveat. And I do lose weight easily.

However I have a chocolate addiction and it’s bad. Yesterday I ate 1500 calories in chocolate, and this is a regular occurrence. (I also ate 2 additional meals). Sometimes I have maybe 3000 calories of chocolate in a day. (I’m quite lucky I don’t weigh much more)

Now with my vegan diet I have a calorific deficit because my normal diet is actually mostly vegetables and fruit. I don’t eat rice or pasta (I haven’t for years). However I know 10000% the cause of my weight gain are the chocolate binges (because I eat so many calories).

I’ve heard people recommend eating small amounts and I simply can’t do it. I have very little impulse control when it comes to chocolate which is why I think I am seriously addicted.

I don’t think chocolate is necessarily a bad food in moderation but I do know I can’t tolerate it.

Does anyone have advice about cutting out chocolate completely and how they’ve found it?

Also I know it sounds silly to say I have a chocolate addiction but it’s quite serious. I even would sneak to eat chocolate at bed time etc.

TL;DR I’m addicted to chocolate - I need help

Any help appreciated x
