What would you do?

You are all wrong - Mothers Day chocolates do not contain calories - scientific fact!

I'm half way through a box of Lindor chocolates given to me by my DS. Stop making me feel guilty!!

I still have 3 boxes of chocolates in the fridge from Christmas! I always thought that if nobody saw you eat chocolate it doesn't count!

A little of what you fancy does you good!

I've put the chocolates out of sight and munching on manchego instead!

BTW Cari I think we should have a 'healthy' icon, something like a pair of trainers - there are far too many 'naughty' ones!

Frozen chocs are twice as nice..... and as the calories are frozen hopefully they stay that way when you eat them?
Scoff the lot, enjoy them and renew intentions when you stop feeling sick!
Simples

Cari anything broken before eating had lost all its calories because they've fallen out.......

I vote for the "scoff the lot as quick as you like" approach.

I reckon that if you eat things quickly enough, your body doesn't have time to extract all the calories from them before they pass through, so you won't put on weight.
Ok, so that's just wishful thinking, but it saves me from hours (or days) of worrying about it, and everyone knows that worrying is bad for your health !

That's right MamaCaz- speed is the necessary factor. I knew I was right!

I'm glad there are similar approaches taken by other GNs
Get them out of temptation's way, until the next time!

On Saturday whilst doing grocery shopping I bought a £1 x 6 pack of chocolate Freddo bars, and a £1 x 6 pack of mini bags of choc buttons for the dgc treat tin......
They were really nice.

Share them with DW, then I will only feel half a guilty at scoffing the lot.
If I were to die in my sleep, I would regret not having eaten them

It's only a few weeks since I got a chocolate craving when the little people were with me. It's not easy extracting a bar of chocolate from its hiding place in the cupboard, opening it, breaking pieces off it and scoffing them without being caught, when there's a two and a three-year old right behind your back, eating a healthy lunch.

And that was just cheap supermarket value chocolate - imagine the lengths I'd go to for the good stuff

I bought a pack of 10 small flakes that are meant to be used for making 99s. I thought I'd be ok because, when the urge came upon me, I'd only have one and the rest would remain hidden in the freezer. The only problem is - I know where they are!

Oh dear, I think I might have eaten too many chocs. I have a slight headache now.

I'm with rockgran scientific fact. No calories = permission to scoff the whole box. Yum yum
