× I love eating chocolate because I am a sweet tooth and it's something that once I start, it's hard for me to stop eating.
✓ I love eating chocolate because I have a sweet tooth and once I start, it's hard for me to stop eating.
The phrase 'I am a sweet tooth' is incorrect. The correct idiomatic expression is 'I have a sweet tooth' to indicate a liking for sweets.
× When I was a kid my parents would try to avoid us eating sweet treats because we are very energetic and they don't want to deal with a more energetic child.
✓ When I was a kid, my parents would try to avoid us eating sweet treats because we were very energetic and they didn't want to deal with a more energetic child.
The sentence mixes past and present tense. Since the context is past, 'are' should be 'were' and 'don't' should be 'didn't' to maintain tense consistency.
× In the Philippines alone, there are about more than 500 variations of chocolate that people enjoy.
✓ In the Philippines alone, there are more than 500 variations of chocolate that people enjoy.
Using both 'about' and 'more than' together is redundant. Choose one quantifier to express approximation or excess.
× I don't have a particular fav favorite flavor of chocolate.
✓ I don't have a particular favorite flavor of chocolate.
The word 'fav' is an informal abbreviation and redundant when used with 'favorite'. Use 'favorite' alone for clarity and correctness.
× I think the chocolate I enjoy is anything that's sweet and a bit a little bit there and it's my sweet treat after eating.
✓ I think the chocolate I enjoy is anything that's sweet and a little bit there; it's my sweet treat after eating.
The phrase 'a bit a little bit' is redundant. Use either 'a bit' or 'a little bit' to express a small amount. Also, the sentence structure is improved by separating the ideas with a semicolon.
