    Red face Help! I'm addicted to...

    Nutella!

    I can't stop eating it...

    I've asked DH not to get it from the shops but DD loves nutella sandwiches and he wants to make her happy. But I keep getting the jar out and having a spoonful (or two... or more!). When I was younger I used to love it as well and since thenI have always tried to not have it in the house because I know it is such a weakness of mine! I want something nice for DD but I just can't keep away from the jar...

    Does anyone else have a guilty addiction, and have you been able to break it?

    Hot mustard at the moment.

    I keep eating hot dogs just so I can have heaps of mustard.

    I've been through an entire jar this week.

    It's not really a craving feeling...I've just been spreading it on everything for some reason.

    ryatha, nutella is my weakness aswell!!!

    My DD doesn't like the stuff, so i'm lucky (i try not to look in its direction while doing groceries).

    And milo aswell... gee i can eat that stuff all day, not with the recommended two spoonfuls either.. i'm talking about 5 .. 6 .. 7 ? hahaha

    Does anyone really make milo with only 2 spoonfuls? I know I never have! Milo does it for me too, I was really bad while I was pregnant.
    Fruit and nut chocolate, rocky road and hedgehog slice are my other favourites. That is all the time too, not just pregnancy cravings.

    I personally think Milo tastes pathetic with only 2 spoons! :-)

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this crazy addiction!

    mmmm, I've successfully stayed away from the milo as I believe half milo / half milk is the correct way to make it... its a chocolate slushy! But if I run out of nutella I might have to have it...

    I have at least 4 spoons in really cold milk..I still don't think it is enough but I stop at that. Mine you I am usually feeling guilty because of the other chocolate I have eaten that day...

    I think I have to add salty butter on multigrain bread to my addiction list too

    Have you tried buying the individual nutellas? They are basically only one sandwich worth at a time. They come in little rows and you just use one serve at a time (unless you are pregnant that is...).

    DS has a very high calorie diet (medical condition requires it) and so I have chocolate and chips in the cupboard all the time . My Nutella eating was really a bit silly until I found the individual serves. That helped me be a bit more honest with myself about how much I was eating of the stuff. Snack amnesia is a bit of a problem for me .

    Good luck!

    i too am addicted to nutella and milo. can never stop at one spoonfull of nutella and always have more then the 2 spoonfulls of milo per glass.

    i also love adding ice cream to my milo and turning it into a milkshake.

    another must have of mine atm is salada biscuits with plastic cheese, cherry tomato, onion and salt and pepper.

    Nother Nutella Nut here...
    My son has a nutella sandwich a few times a day - not the best diet but at least he is eating something! - and I have to have at least 2 spoonfulls while making it. I try to get my mum or partner to make the sandwich's but I'll just sneak in later for a spoonfull!
