I must find these. Curse this thread! I knew I had been staying away for a reason!!!!
I am a massive sweet tooth but I also have amazing will power. I'm one of those freaks who can still have Easter eggs left over next Easter. Until I started paying attention to the use-by dates!
But DH, OMG! I can open a block of chocolate after dinner, have a square or two, play with the iPhone for a few minutes, look down and three quarters of the block is gone I've had to start breaking off bits for him to have and then keeping the rest elsewhere! He just has no control!
But then there are nights that we both chow down and in a short space of time the block is gone
I used to say it was ok cuz I was breastfeeding - what's my excuse now???
I've had stages in life where I was addicted to chocolate. Before I met dh it would take me about 3 nights to go through a block of nutbreak. But I have a general rule of not buying any chocolate to bring home. About 6 months ago I realised I had a problem again when for a few months there I was buying a bueno chocolate bar every time I did the shopping so maybe 1-2 times a week. Over christmas I ate lots of chocolate but now I guess I'm going cold turkey! Snack and peppermint are my weakness.
I have to admit that the best and worst thing about being pregnant is that my body cannot handle chocolate at all. It makes me sick constantly.
So at the moment we rarely have it. There is a chocolate cheesecake and a box of choccies in the fridge from monday night (girls night watching one born every minute) and I havent touched them. That may be because I was so sick after eating it on mon night that I cant stomach the thought of eating them now!
But normally, a block of chocolate will not last long here. We normally only get it on dh's nights off and we'll easily devour a family block a night. I always hide in the freezer, as dh never looks there. But he is the worst for not getting rid of the packets, making me think there could be a little left that I could have once the girls are in bed... Its such a sad and angry moment when I've managed to get the girls to bed, and I finally get to go to the fridge or cupboard after knowing for hours I saw the packet in there, to find nothing... absolutely nothing! Those packets always get thrown in the bin in a very violent way!
