Several times a week for me.

Used to pig out on it daily but now it's only ever Sunday evening

I've changed my habits so I have better quality chocolate less often. I'll sometimes have mars bar or something but an actual nice bar of chocolate, maybe once or twice a month.
I'm not super healthy - my vice is cake/pastries!

I used to eat a block quite frequently but now that I think about it I haven't had any in ages I seem to have gone off of it.

I've moved country and most of the chocolate is quite rubbish here.

I can take it or leave it. I had some at Easter and found it sickly sweet, if I’m honest. A tin of canned peaches is my poison.

Very rarely. I just don't really ever fancy it. When theres a box in the staff room over Xmas, I might have one or two, but I'd never buy a bar of chocolate for myself. Cheese on the other hand... I can wake up at 3am and feel the need to go downstairs for a slice of cheddar (sometimes I just bite a piece straight off the block as no one else eats it in my house 😂)

About once a month of that.

Crisps on the other hand.

LipstickLil · 16/04/2024 17:35

If I have it, I eat it, so I don't buy it. If I'm craving chocolate I have an Options Belgian Choc hot chocolate. It's not the same, but it's okay.

OnionBudgie · 16/04/2024 17:34

At Easter and Christmas, very rarely at any other time. I was a chocolate fiend when I was a kid, but my tastes changed. Savoury snacks all the way now.

When I have willpower - rarely.

But as soon as I have some, I want more. Then it gets out of hand very quickly. I am sure it's addictive.

So I do try to resist. Moving to on-line shopping for other reasons has also meant I am not going into supermarkets regularly so I don't fall to temptation.

Every. Single. Day

I absolutely love chocolate but I'm trying very hard to be super healthy in my 50s and have amazed myself by finally kicking the (daily!) habit.
I honestly never thought I'd manage it and I rarely miss it - nobody is more surprised by this than me!

Pleeeeeease, how did you do it?

Moveoverdarlin · 16/04/2024 17:31

Every day

TheChosenTwo · 16/04/2024 17:30

Formerly daily, multiple times, but my PCOS has teamed up with my love of sugar and pushing me towards type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance so I’ve given up as much sugar as is reasonable! Boooo!!
I allow myself treats when on holiday (like a few days last week) but as soon as I got home that was it again. It’s more bearable to know it’s not a forever thing, it’s just for high days and holidays 😂

Chocolate bars have got smaller and more expensive. I also find that it's the habit rather than the taste.
I need the Chocolate after dinner as thought ill feel odd if I go without.

A lot less than I used to tbh purely because more and more chocolate bars are tasting like crap.

BreatheAndFocus · 16/04/2024 17:26

Every day!

SabreIsMyFave · 16/04/2024 17:26

Every day.

MsLuxLisbon · 16/04/2024 17:25

Oh, and I'm a size 8. It's a myth that chocolate is super fattening. It's very satisfying so if I eat a good chunk that can keep me going for ages.

MsLuxLisbon · 16/04/2024 17:23

Every day and twice on Sundays. Except for Lent, when I give it up.

socks1107 · 16/04/2024 17:22

Everyday!

JLT24 · 16/04/2024 17:22

Either a small packet or crisps or a small bar of chocolate every day. I only eat dark chocolate as I can’t eat milk. Everything else I eat is unprocessed!

idontlikealdi · 16/04/2024 17:22

Not often, but I'm snobby about. Haribo on the other hand, near enough every day.
