There is an addictive component in chocolate - a chemical whose name is full of 'x's - particularly addictive to menstruating women, allegedly. Plus, a rapid increase in blood sugar level leads to a rapid decline - causing a sugar craving. Plus it tastes nice and stays in your mouth a while.
Resistance is useless. The only way is not to have the first one. True of many substances!
If I can get round the supermarket without buying 'goodies' I know I'm going to have a miserable week so I don't try anymore.
