You have to eat them stark naked in front of a full length mirror.

Oh dear - such helpful information about how much we have to walk to use up the calories caused by eating chocolate. I ate half a box yesterday and only did an hour this morning. The dogs will be delighted as they'll get another hour later on!

I've just done a quick calculation - have to walk for about 7 miles per 6 chocolates .... I may be gone for some time!

I'd rather have a chop! grin

Cari!

Leave off. We are old don't you know? We are allowed to stuff our faces indulge now and then. wink

(chops that is)

gillybob Mon 16-Mar-15 12:53:06

I prefer mine with apple sauce jings

Allow yourself one every two days. On those days cut something out of your usual diet, eg. Pudding, mid morning biscuit etc.

Above all enjoy them. x

Not chops!!!! Chocs. Stupid iPad

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 16-Mar-15 12:51:21

Easy - go for a long walk and take the chocolates with you to munch en route

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 16-Mar-15 12:50:43

Yeah. Sit down with a book and chops for the afternoon. Diet tomorrow.

Quick, run and put them in the bin before you can be tempted.

Only joking! Scoff the lot as quick as you like! grin

Riverwalk if you are hesitating about eating those chocolates, have them instead of a meal! No guilt or penance involved and the sooner they are eaten, the better! grin

I've got some Hotel Chocolat florentines which might last till this evening grin

I have got a box of hotel chocolate champagne truffles I was given as a christmas present. I am allowing myself 2 on a Saturday night and still have a couple left Riverwalk. I tend to do a lot of walking/running around on a Sunday so I figure I work them off.

I have an unopened box of Leonidas chocolates right in front of me .... they're 80 calories a pop.

It will take me 21 minutes to walk off each choc.

Any advice? grin
