Given your expressed eating preferences, one possible trivial-loss-of-pleasure alteration to make is to switch to sugar free chocolate such as Chocoperfection or Atkins Hazelnut bars. In general, take any opportunity you have to replace sugar with sugar substitutes such as Splenda or Stevia; e.g. in your morning coffee.

Splenda I've never had any complaints about, but in everything I've tried it in, I've found stevia to taste vile, to the point that I was confused that it saw any use as a sugar replacement at all.

My mother had the same reaction to it. Maybe a genetically determined taste sensitivity?
