Save me someone!

I would love to indulge but in bed with horrible tummy bug. Have polished off many boxes of chocolates in similar circumstances!

I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE

apologies for shouting

Oh dear
Thank goodness it’s not just me
Have eaten all the chocolate Santa’s that were prettily adorning my lovely Xmas tree

Need to get out tomorrow to replace before grandchildren arrive .....

I was given a present last week and told to put it in the fridge until Christmas. It was a pack of 5 cheeses.
Mmmmmm, I enjoyed them. They lasted 3 days.

Chocolate is good for you - it releases 'happy hormones' so it is therapeutic. Self denial is not good for you whatever people might say; it causes frustration and unhappiness, which then permeates the atmosphere and spoils life for everyone around you. Think of others! Don't be selfish! Eat chocolate and make the world a happier place.

And dark chocolate contains iron so it is good for you too!

Oh my goodness what chance do I stand, I am home on Thursday and Ican already taste the chocolate liquors I put away for Christmas I have been chocolate free for 5 weeks due to the heat and I know I will just binge and put back all the weight I have lost

I’m with you tidyskatemum ...chocolate doesn’t do it for me either..or my 5 year old granddaughter... she’s still got a very large Easter egg ...8 months..not bad restraint for a littly!

I just made the excuse I had to get the bus into town as I'd run out of lentils...Didn't really need to go out in the cold but was eyeing the cheeseboard & vintage port....at noon.

Glad your test results were good. Celebrate by eating whatever you fancy and a glass of good cheer.

After all the hard work in the run up to Christmas, we all deserve a little indulgence. I am now up to my eleventh one, with a promise of more to come. Why not , I ask myself.

We haven't had any snow here (Glasgow) - just four days of glorious sunshine (albeit extremely cold both yesterday and today). Just back from a long walk (12,000+ steps) and feeling very virtuous. Think I deserve a reward!

With me it was a box of Ferro Rocher (luckily a small one). Thank goodness I can go out today or I would be opening the M&S tin of assorted luxury biscuits - I love the chocolate log ones (look like brandy snaps but brown) - correction, I love them all!

You had a duty to make sure the christmas goodies were up to scratch. You have gone over and beyond the call of duty. You deserve a chocolate medal!

Aren't you the lucky one, Eglantine. I was out at 8 a.m. yesterday and 8.30 a. m. this morning sweeping snow off the front path and the pavement along our front garden, all 14 ft of it, then salting same area. So I will willingly change places with you!

Householders are required by law here to clear snow from the pavement in front of their property, so I am thankful it is nice, dry, light-weight snow that can be swept, instead of being shovelled.

We've had 4 inches of snow and it's fortunately beginning to melt today but I'm nervous about going out in the slush and falling over - it doesn't take much! So yesterday I did my cards, read, pootled and ate nuts and sultanas and really missed my daily outdoor exercise. I'm sure I've put on weight again as a result. Oh yes, I must own up to having a piece - just a piece - of dark chocolate which I love. Snow makes me fat!!!

I to can't resist dark chocolate, have eaten some of mine which were meant for Christmas/New Year oh dear I will just have to buy some more

I know the feeling. I've lost some weight but I fear I may self-sabotage any further success.
I've got some cooking chocolate in the kitchen cupboard, a large slab of which only about 70% of which is required for the recipe I've got in mind. So happened to the other part that isn't needed? I ate it of course. Oh dear.

It’s fatal when your on your own at home comfort eating but this time of year it’s not easy

I'm so happy to hear that it's not just me!!

Put a fat photo on the fridge ! Of course you can always send me the plain chocs if you don’t want them !!

The soft nougat I buy for Christmas went yesterday, and I feel slightly ashamed to say I’ve started on another box that was intended as part of a gift. I just hope there is some left when I can get out, as it was particularly requested!

Mine mine not men. Am missing lover

I’ve cleaned the oven

Annifrance, do not buy the M&S brandy snaps! They will be all gone and I have to replenish men
