Guilty secret

My grandchildren always know.
"What happened to that mint chocolate you had last time, Granny?"
"I must have eaten it."
Always said in front of their superslim parents.

Surreptitious chocolate eating can be dangerous! I think I mentioned on another thread that I nearly choked when DS2 was in her pram. I had a sneaky square of Dairy Milk so she didn't see it, inhaled instead of swallowed and was left hanging over the pram handle whooping and choking! V scary episode!

Shhh! I bought a pack of Aldi's Moser Roth dark chocolate with a plum and cinnamon fondant on Friday. I have nearly finished the lot myself. I am a very greedy person. Yes! I am going upstairs to get the last of it to destroy the evidence.

Oh Nellie the aldi chocolate is divine. And so very reasonably priced that the calorie content must reasonable too especially if you scarf it down when nobody is looking

I live alone and I still hide chocolate!
Sometimes I forget and when I eventually find it, it's a lovely surprise

I am a very sad person.

AshTree* "Go on, finish the box" How deceitful you are.

My DH loves white chocolate and I am not keen, so every week, he buys a bar of white and one of milk. I have always eaten mine well before he eats his and, recently, I got desperate and had a couple of squares of his. The other day I noticed he has marked the packet! I said I thought one only did that with the scotch. He said he was marking the scotch bottle as well!

Lona....that's priceless!!!

How can anyone hide chocolate and, knowing that it's there, not eat it ? My whole being would just focus on the fact that there is chocolate in the house that HAS to be eaten.

Yes,but you can add water to the scotch. With chocolate once it's gone it's gone.

White just eat what you want and buy a new box, then no one is the wiser and you get to eat the chocs

I can't hide anything anywhere on the premises from DH - so I now don't bother trying to. The scotch is in the cupboard with the saucepans (very handy for me) and the chocolate is in the room with the laptops/phones/books etc.- again, very handy for me. I decided at the grand old age of 64 (now 65) to do away with deceit and come out of the closet. Yes - I like whisky, wine and chocolate/sweets - I will have them - too many other things I liked in life have been relegated to the "past it" bin i.e. not healthy, not at your age etc. etc. - I won't go into specifics but leave it to your imagination - so decided to brave it and am clinging on to these last two pleasures out in the open. Am supported in this by two out of our three children!!!!

Same as rosesarered.
I hide chocs from DH for his own benefit.
I also hide things like icecream in my own freezer, from myself.
At times I just dont buy any of it.

Greyduster I love the way your DH marks the booze and chocs - gave me a good laugh.

Katek I really do forget about the chocolate, I've got some very sneeky hiding places!
So, it can be weeks before I discover it!

It's fatal to have chocolate in the house! I bought Mr H a big bar of Galaxy for Christmas, which he loves. He didn't eat it, so over a few weeks and after much nibbling, a square at a time, I polished it off. Feeling guilty, I bought him another big bar to replace it. He hasn't eaten it, so after much nibbling, a square at a time....

He obviously doesn't love Galaxy as much as you do, hummingbird!

I don't even like it that much Ana! It's just... there!

I despair of all you chocaholics...

I thought my Lidl's chocolate would be safe from me in the freezer. But... it wasn't and that's how I broke a pre-molar on a square of frozen chocolate and will now have a sizeable dentist's bill.

ooh. Ouch. Bad luck annodomini.
