In the last month of my pregnancy with my son, I craved Hershey's chocolate bars. I ate them and ate them and ate them. I like sweets, but not like this. When he was born he went into diabetic shock because when they cut the cord it cut off his supply of sugar. Apparently, according to the doctor he was taking all my sugar and that is why I craved it so much. Every once in awhile I get a craving for a Hershey's chocolate bar, but nothing like I did when I was pregnant.

I crave it in the evening and at night mainly, which is the worst time to eat it apparently. I don't know why, I suppose it's because it's comforting and relaxing and that's just what you need in the evening.

Chocolate is in its own category on the food pyramid -- irresistables! No matter how well I stick to a diet, if there's chocolate around, I have to have at least a little. I often keep a bag of Bliss dark chocolate in the fridge, and I allow myself one piece a day. It's hard, but manageable. If I didn't have to watch my weight and my diabetes, I'd eat chocolate constantly.

I love chocolate at all times, lol. But there are times when I will get a really strong craving for it. This especially happens when we don't have any in the house, lol. I crave it most during the mid afternoon it seems.

I crave sweets all the time, not necessarilly chocolate, though that's one of my favourites :)
And I eat them whenever I'm in the mood.

I do crave chocolate, but not at any particular time.

Sometimes I do get chocolate cravings but I can't trace it to any particular time of the day or night. I think that I will be able to resist chocolate and then I ahve to have it in some form. Chocolate especially dark chocolate actually is good for you so it is not a bad thing to eat necessarily.

I don't always want chocolate, but I really crave it when I am in extreme pain. When I hurt bad I suck down the chocolate like a vacuum!!! I think part of it is the fact that when I eat chocolate it helps the pain killers work faster. I read that if you needed fast relief either drink soda or eat chocolate because of the fact that the sugar will break down the pain pills and carry it through the blood stream much much faster.

Hey pat! I crave chocolate all the time! I think that there
are certain times that I crave it more than others. It will
depend on what I have eaten for dinner usually. I usually will
want to have something sweet some time after I have eaten
my dinner. I don't always crave chocolate. Sometimes I just
want cake or ice cream. But, I think that with certain foods
I get a chocolate craving for some reason. Life last night. I
had a hamberger and some onion rings and for some reason I
wanted some chocolate. I think when I eat things that have salt
in them I want to have chocolate. But, then there are times
when I just plain crave chocolate just because I love it!
