I believe in God, I believe in The Beatific Vision, yet I can't prevent myself from eating an extra amount of chocolate. I try to convince myself not to eat it:"God will be displeased, you will be less dear to Him"

Remember first of all that all of us, excluding a miracle ability, must eat.

Now it is natural for us to eat good food, and very hard for us to only eat plain and especially disgusting food.  So naturally there is a very strong inclination to eat chocolate, and that can be come disordered into an excessive desire for it.

I have a problem with coffee.  I was able to stop drinking after a couple of days of headaches, then I started drinking again, and haven't been able to stop.  The problem I think, is that I still think I must have it to energize myself.

My confessor told me something very important, he said:

"We can do nothing good without God."

We cannot overcome inclinations towards evil without grace.  Now, in order not to eat chocolate, you must put yourself in a position where there is none available.  When I run out of coffee beans, I will not buy any more, that is part of my plan to quit drinking coffee.  To quit smoking or drinking, the most important thing was to get rid of the tobacco and the liquor.

Secondly, you must develop good habits.  Every day you should only eat at fixed times, and develop a good idea of what you will eat at each meal.  First set a goal for each meal.  If you find it is not sufficient, you may adjust slightly the amount you eat at each meal.  Hopefully you will be able to develop the habit of only eating what you should eat.  Every day must be practice.  Try to fast when you are able.  This will help to build discipline.  And pray for grace, because without grace it is impossible to do anything good.

  a very logical answer...
Thank you!

I wish that I could edit my posts!!  Ugh!!

those Jєωs chose the aftelife...

Perhaps something similar is going on here...

I am wondering if it is easier to sacrifice for a false religion than to mortify oneself for the love of Christ?

Could that be true?  Because sometimes mortification by our own means is really hard, as opposed to the things that God gives us to bear.

Does anyone remember what St. John Vianney said about ѕυιcιdє?

  I believe in God, I believe in The Beatific Vision, yet I can't prevent myself from eating an extra amount of chocolate. I try to convince myself not to eat it:"God will be displeased, you will be less dear to Him" nevertheless I end in eating all of it!
  How is it that .....my desire for seeing God in heaven can't keep me from overeating????

Alas, I have the very same problem with chocolate and overeating. I would be willing to be jailed rather than offend God by telling a small lie but, when it comes to overeating on foods I enjoy (especially chocolate), I easily turn my back on God - I am thinking about God and how I am offending Him all the while committing the sin of overindulgence. It's funny that you should bring this up because I was just thinking about this weakness of mine today and trying to understand the "why?" myself.

 Overeating is bad. But there are also other things....
Sometimes I want to oversleep, it is useless to tell myself to wake up for 6 am to say the Angelus. I try to imagine how much Jesus will smile if I just jump out of bed to say this short prayer, but not only I don't jump out of bed, but I sleep till 10:30 am! It is very disgusting if you consider that even abusive parents do wake up early to work or to care for their children... It seems that I love Jesus less than a bad parent loves his/her child!

People's bodies cope differently. Some people can go on little sleep while others cannot. It does not mean that if you are unable to wake up for Angelus that you are sinning or love God less. God sees your desire. It is not your fault if your body can not handle little sleep.

Maybe... I am devoid of charity...

Do you mean divine charity?  Of course you are.  You are not baptized.  All you have is some prevenient grace that calls you to repentence of your sins, belief in the mysteries and baptism.

Until you are baptized you have not Faith, Hope or Charity.

Learn and profess the true Faith, and GET BAPTIZED EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU!!!

...the instrumental cause (of Justification) is the sacrament of baptism, which is the sacrament of faith, without which (faith) no man was ever justified; lastly, the alone formal cause is the justice of God, not that whereby He Himself is just, but that whereby He maketh us just, that, to wit, with which we being endowed by Him, are renewed in the spirit of our mind, and we are not only reputed, but are truly called, and are, just, receiving justice within us, each one according to his own measure, which the Holy Ghost distributes to every one as He wills, and according to each one's proper disposition and co-operation. For, although no one can be just, but he to whom the merits of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ are communicated, yet is this done in the said justification of the impious, when by the merit of that same most holy Passion, the charity of God is poured forth, by the Holy Spirit, in the hearts of those that are justified, and is inherent therein: whence, man, through Jesus Christ, in whom he is ingrafted, receives, in the said justification, together with the remission of sins, all these (gifts) infused at once, faith, hope, and charity.

How can you have charity, while unbaptized, if they are all infused at one with the remission of sins at baptism?  You can't.

If you listen to heretics who believe in baptism of desire, they will have you believing that you can be justified right now as you are.

They might say "Oh she seems so nice, certainly she is not on the road to hell"

If you allow these thought to get the better of you, then you are being deceived by the evil spirit who hopes you never get baptized.
