    Let's talk chocolate! Fess up!

    How much chocolate do you eat in one day?

    I love chocolate. We cut right back on buying it a long time ago, limiting it to one bag of m&ms between DH and myself once a week. At the moment, I'm buying a block of Dairy Milk a week and having about four squares each day. Feels like a lot for me and I need to cut that back. I have two friends though (that I know of lol) who can and do easily eat a block every day.

    So how much do you eat? Or do you have another sweet/savory sin that you eat too much of?

    No judging, just a laugh. We all know if it's good/bad for us

    After I had Buster I was eating a block of Cadbury Rocky Road a day! DH kept bringing it back for me from the supermarket, I had to tell him to stop lol.

    If it is in the house I eat it - I am terrible - therefore we don't buy it often or DH does and hides it. When I was pregnant I probably had at least a Mars Bar a day sometimes two, have always had a weakness for those. If I am feeling good I buy dark chocolate and limit it to a square a day (normally dark you don't crave as much). Once I ate 6 full size creme eggs in a row.

    Today - no chocolate, but two snakes out of DD's treat bag, but yesterday about 15 Oreo's - sometimes I get it in my head is better to just eat it and then it is gone so can't be eaten anymore.

    I am trying to stop myself by tallying up the dollars I would have spent on chocolate and then I have a treat of something else instead (fabric for me is my current obsession) it adds up quite fast and is quite a good incentive I find - but I do use chocolate as a crutch - it has been a bad day - I'll have some chocolate, it's raining - I'll have some chocolate etc etc.

    If it's the house, I eat it. Unless it's the last couple of Tim Tams in the fridge now, but only because I feel guilty about eating half a pack for lunch the other day & DH noticed.

    Hmmm, now I've remembered the Tim Tams, I think I need to get them out of the house so I dont have to feel guilty anymore.......noms

    ahem, well it depends on my mood. if, like now, I'm feeling pretty average i can easily do 1-2blocks of milk or white a day but i also have milky sweet tea to wash it down, about a cup per half block....
    on normal days i would eat half a block over a day if it was in the house, if not it wouldn't really occur to me and i'd have a tea or coffee with breakfast and maybe a tea when DH and i were winding down after DS was asleep.
    the last few weeks have been pretty average so its not been very pretty here, i cooked a brownie loaf double mix on monday and only cooked 1 1/2 worth of batter and then by tues evening the loaf was gone with only 3 pieces going to DH

    - sometimes I get it in my head is better to just eat it and then it is gone so can't be eaten anymore.
    That's me too, so I have it in the house rarely. My DH can have easter chocolate from one year still left over the next and it drives me nuts - fortunately his is white chocolate which I don't like so its not much of a temptation for me.

    I love chocolate - especially dark and peppermint chocolate - but fortunately (I think) during pregnancy I can't stomach it so my chocolate consumption has gone right down lately.

    I have rather a lot of chocolate in the house at the moment, but haven't actually eaten any for several days. Admittedly most of it is cooking chocolate (70% cocoa Lindt..yummmm) but that's never stopped me when I've had a craving for it. Normally I will have a chocolate bar about once or twice a week, or some buds or a few squares from a block.

    I do find I prefer good quality dark chocolate, so can quite easily turn my nose up at anything else. But a little gourmet shop near us has these liquer soaked chocolate dipped cherries.....oh-so-good!!

    Oh no!! Nothing worse than the expectation that you're going to have something yummy and it's gone!!!


    I don't buy choc nor keep any in the house or it would be gone in a flash. I have a terrible sweet tooth and could eat a block of choc or pack of bickies a day if it was here. If I want choc I have to go out and buy it and drag all of the kids out, plus deal with them wanting stuff too, so that's a great deterrant for me! I haven't had any chocolate for a fair while now....maybe about a week. Which is ages for me!

    i don't buy blocks anymore (well except very occasionally) because DP & i can sit there & eat almost a block just while watching tv. i do buy the bags of mini bars though because DP likes them & i may have 1 every 2 days. i would LOVE to have more but i really need to lose weight & atm i have GD so meant to be cutting back on the sugar anyways

    I usually have a couple of squares of 70% most nights but the shop is out of the brand I like at the moment so we don't have any in the house. I'm a bit of a chocolate snob so if I can't get my hands on the good stuff I don't bother eating it.

    I'm not a big chocolate fan...but seeing as the question also included *do you have another sweet/savory sin that you eat too much of?* ... it's not eating, but drinking!

    ICED COFFEE! The Farmers Union one. OH. MY. GOD. I have been drinking soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much of that since having Miss Z! seriously, at least a glass if not 2 a day :|

    I have stopped this week. I swear.

    Like others have said, if it's in the house I eat it. With ds still feeding several times thought the night, i could (and have) easily eat a block over night
