I don't know how it happened

Had one at 11am and liked it so much I had another.

One when walking the dog then another when I came back to warm me up with tea.

Two when watching a crap film, the repeat for Netflix

Then two must've jumped into my mouth

I've never understood on mumsnet why one type of addiction is seen as ok, but the rest are terrible

Northernsouloldies · 24/03/2024 12:29

Definitely not the same as they were 70s.if I ate ten guaranteed to shit myself inside out.admire your tenacity op in demolishing the lot.

StaunchMomma · 24/03/2024 12:28

That is genuinely mental BUT I absolutely applaud it 👏

Don't do it again today though, yeah?

I used to love them but in recent years they haven’t tasted the same so I don’t bother now 😭

No the sugar is gritty and makes my teeth ache. But I have my own little vices.

I,ve done the same but with the caramel version, no guilt at all, just savour them, its only Easter once a year.

Caramel version? Puts boots on and heads to local coop on fact finding mission.

Same here, I really miss the old Cadbury's.

Going to join the joyless brigade now. Eating nothing all day except 10 creme eggs is nothing to be proud of or encouraged. It's not big, it's not clever and it's not funny or 'light hearted'.

Judgey knickers well and truly hoicked as far up my bum crack as they can possibly go, so there!

Boxingwhelp · 24/03/2024 12:20

I’m sure that is the single serving size on the packet so you’re spot on OP.

Vistada · 24/03/2024 12:16

Have the "I'm so teeny tiny dinky winky I couldn't even possibly contemplate this so i just sniff a creme egg every Easter Sunday and that's enough" tribe rocked up yet?

OP YANBU. Fucking love creme eggs

Rosebel · 24/03/2024 12:16

I brought a pack of 5 for DH. I only got them on Friday and somehow there is only 1 left. So will have to go and buy him some more before next Sunday.
Love a creme egg (or 4!)

Yup.
If you want all of those calories, fats and sugars in you, knock yourself out.

Calories, fats and sugars aren’t bad things, the weird moralising around food on this site is worrying, honestly

Brillant! Thank you! I do eat vegan chocolate but didn't know about these eggs!

AmericanUgly · 24/03/2024 12:11

I genuinely can't eat a whole one. They are so sickly sweet!

But I'm afraid I'm a joyless one these days. I've just spent the last year suffering from and then having treatment for a health condition that's very directly linked to my terrible eating habits. Before this happened I was very much a 'You do you. Eat what you like. You only live once' kind of person (also called denial in my case). But I did genuine damage to myself and suffered resulting pain, treatment and complications. Now I'm 4 stone lighter, eating healthily and on the mend, but I can't un-see how damaging it was to treat my body like a bin.

Gilead · 24/03/2024 12:08

I don’t really do chocolate but cheese does jump into my mouth on a regrettable number of occasions!

OooScotland · 24/03/2024 12:05

That’s a lot of fondant. I hate fondant but if you love it then I can see how it could happen.

It’s done now. Probably have a word with yourself about doing it again though!

Have you seen this bad boy OP !

Wetblanket78 · 24/03/2024 12:00

I don't like them but do pig out on Cadbury's caramel and all the different mini eggs. Really gutted there's no Galaxy golden eggs this year I loved them. They're not available all year round so that's my excuse for pigging out. Grab it and make the most of it while you can.

This thread highlights just how varied the definition of 'a balanced diet' is.

I cannot imagine eating 10 baklava in a year never mind a day.

Also, it is so odd that people who don't gorge on 10 creme eggs in a day are 'joyless'. I just cannot see how you get joy from that. I have many things that bring me joy but 10 creme eggs would just bring the shits and nausea.

Not in a year? That’s quite uptight imo. That would be one piece of baklava or similar a month, which isn’t going to register on your health.

I don't feel superior to anyone and we all get joy in different ways.
I you derive pleasure eating 10 creme eggs, you go then go for it!
Why stop at 10 eh?
By your logic you'll double the joy by having 20!

Hmm … not sure. At some point nausea must set in …

The sugar 😂☠️

Was the second a girl? It really sweetens the milk and there are old wives tales ( that I happen to have found to be true) that baby girls like sweeter milk.

I mean not by much. Broadly speaking the basic breast milk “ recipe” is pretty much governed by your body: that’s the point. It will adjust the fat etc as your baby grows which is why they say it is so ideal ( and why formula tries to ape this with numbered versions). Not knocking formula btw.

Calliopespa · 24/03/2024 11:50

Marchingonagain · 24/03/2024 10:34

I know this post is lighthearted but it’s also a serious point. Does excessive sugar consumption affect breast milk? I don’t know. Does it push out more nutritious food? I guess it must. I do remember thinking about this while breastfeeding. Weirdly I ate very little sugar breastfeeding my first but more with my second. I think it was more about being comforted . I felt more emotionally deprived having a toddler and a baby, rather than just a baby

You were attacked by them. None of this is your fault.
Thankfully this year Waitrose have stopped selling Montezuma's peanut butter eggs because they used to jump into my mouth EVERY time I bought them and opened the packet (s).

Funny enough Aldi sell a cheap version of these and whilst you start off with the first egg thinking how they taste nothing like the Montezuma ones and curse cheap chocolate, they suddenly become so addictive!

@alwaysmovingforwards very gracious of you. I hope you feel validated in feeling superior to OP and everyone else who isn’t a joyless misery 😇
