I don't just eat a little bit of chocolate, I eat just how much I want and until I have my chocolate tooth satisfied.

The thing is, you can't have too much of the junk foods, or candies or unhealthy foods. You can have some but you have to make sure you have a balanced diet filled with nutritious foods.

One other tip I have for staying healthy is, drinking lots and lots of water. Keep yourself thoroughly hydrated.
