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.

I ate way way way too much chocolate!!! i am too scared to actually work out how much I eat - that would be faaaarrrrr too scary

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

No comment, lol.

**skybie** · January 18th, 2012, 01:37 PM

I dont buy chocolate anymore because it doesnt last 24hrs in this house.
ButIf im being shifty I hide it under the fish tank because noone looks there

Nooooo!!

DH ate the last Tim Tam

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

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!

- 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.

**RhiChiChi** · January 18th, 2012, 06:26 PM

Rarely unless offered by someone or if I brought it home.

**feeb** · January 18th, 2012, 06:40 PM

I love choc, we generally have some in fridge at all times, generally I am ok but sometimes once I start I need to finish it. Other times a few squares or 1 or 2 tim tams is enough.

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
