Foods that you don't trust yourself with

Maltesers

It seemed like such hard work for something that would only last a few seconds if I was eating it. And, as for the washing up afterwards , given that I wreck the kitchen when I make a sandwich I can't imagine how much mess I'd create making those sweets.

Daren't watch it, NanKate!

We had friends over for dinner on Saturday night, so since then I've been "tidying up" the leftovers.....mozzarella, French bread, apple crumble, creme brûlée, profiteroles.....I'll be glad when I've had enough!

Did any of you see a programme this week on BBC2 where an couple where making their own delicious sweets? They (the sweets) looked as if they were dripping in calories.

Toffee, chocolate, marshmallows etc.

When they sampled their sweets they ate enormous portions, I felt very virtuous that I never eat that much at a time, but I did envy their apparent ease at over indulging.

They weren't enormous (well she wasn't)like the Two Fat Ladies so somehow they are 'pigging out' and getting away with it.

I must watch episode 2 this coming week.

As you can tell I am verging on jealousy here.

SueD.....my cravings to a T!! I feel your pain!

Most of Hotel Chocolat merchandise

Frozen flakes! The problem would be solved if I didn't put them in the freezer!

Doritos - they have an awful power over me once they are open.

I'm like bags I don't eat if I'm not hungry.

Say I feel like chocolate - and this drives my husband crazy - I will open a slab of chocolate, eat one square, wrap it and not touch it again for weeks.

He simply cannot understand that I can do that

I'm not skinny BTW, so my food:exercise ratio overall could probably do with some adjustment

.... But never fruit or stuff that's non-fattening and good for me!

Anything, anything at all that's left over, cooked or that I can slide a bit off and kid myself it doesn't show.

Scones especially with jam and cream.

Oh yes, forgot about fresh bread... And butter. And jam.

Oooh, ginger marmalade PapaO That used to be our Annual-Going-On-Holiday treat when we went camping with the kids!! Must put that on the shopping list . . . .

Deep-frozen Snickers - they last much longer! Ginger marmalade, Battenburg cake, fresh bread and butter.....

(It's chocolate cake of course)

Not that it would make any difference if it wasn't. hmm]

The leftover remains of grandson' s birthday cake!

Getting smaller by the hour. #greedygranny

Far too many things to list once they are opened. Until then I can ignore for weeks but just open and they seem to disappear!

Don't agree with those who mention fruit because surely that is good for us? Hmm, maybe it is the quantity, I have no problem eating a whole punnet of anything.

I agree merlotgran. Love cherry tomatoes.
I don't buy salted almonds, because I just can't stop.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate or any sweet foods but cherry tomatoes straight from the garden I could eat forever.

Definitely chocolate - don't understand the two squares a night brigade - every morsel of a large bar goes pronto!

Crisp, biscuits and cake to a lesser extent but dont usually have them in the house unless we have guests and have now trained myself to have a matchbox size piece of chees every night 0 for the calcium you know.

We wont talk about the gin!

bags delicious flapjacks...

There aren't any. I eat when I'm hungry and if I'm not hungry I don't eat, not even stuff I really really like, because over-eating or eating when I don't need to just makes me uncomfortable. You can offer me a favourite food but if I'm not hungry I won't want to eat it.
