Several times a week for me.

Pretty much everyday, I'm trying to stop but it feels like an actual addiction 😫help

This is me too.

Never used to be like this but have picked up the habit from my DP, who always finished every meal with something sweet. Now I'm eating chocolate daily.

Pigeonqueen · 16/04/2024 15:18

On and off all day everyday. Oops.

WatermelonWaveclub · 16/04/2024 15:17

At the weekend sometimes. Maybe a couple of times a month. However, I'm ill right now and my partner bought me some chocolate which I have eaten!

Eating a boost as we speak (why have I only discovered these amazing things 2 days ago, omg)

I eat chocolate everyday 🤣

Too often

Misthios · 16/04/2024 15:13

Not as much as I used to before being diagnosed with too high cholesterol. I miss it.

SpringOfContentment · 16/04/2024 15:12

Actual chocolate? When someone buys it for me, or I cave and visit the shop at lunchtime.

If chocolate flavored cake and biscuits are included, probably most days. And some days more than once.

Rarely but I was given 2 Easter eggs, a giant Toblerone and a box of chocolate for Easter. I am very slowly eating one egg, I suspect that the chocolate will last me for months if I don’t give it away first!
Pringles and crisps are my downfall.

Monkeybusiness09 · 16/04/2024 15:07

Rarely eat chocolate but crisps everyday.

Mairzydotes · 16/04/2024 15:00

Every day , in some shape or form

OneTC · 16/04/2024 15:00

All day every day when the mood takes me but I'd rather eat biscuits

erlangshen · 16/04/2024 14:59

once every few months. I dont have a sweet tooth and only eat dark chocolate. I can go months without then suddenly feel like it and might eat a few a day or a few days then fed up with it.

We do have lots of chocolate at home as DH and DCs love it. They are amazed that I can watch them eating without wanting one myself.

EpicAlice · 16/04/2024 14:59

Sitting here eating it as I type Grin
I do eat it daily, I am careful calorie wise so I do stay thin, but I am getting concerned about my cholesterol.

UnpickThePockets · 16/04/2024 14:59

Once a week, I’ll have a couple of squares on Saturday or Sunday night.

GoodVibesHere · 16/04/2024 14:59

Everyday, and none of this 'one small square is plenty for me'.

CrunchyCarrot · 16/04/2024 14:59

Several times a day with a cuppa! Only the gluten free variety though now. It's really the only thing I'm addicted to.

KimberleyClark · 16/04/2024 14:58

At Christmas, Easter, Valentines if DH buys me chocolate. Rarely in between those times.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 16/04/2024 14:57

I was going to say never because I’ve given up sugar (I know you can’t avoid completely, but obvious sugar let’s say).

But now I’ve ordered a bar of 100% black chocolate!

Jellycatspyjamas · 16/04/2024 14:54

Daily, with no guilt whatsoever.

Elphame · 16/04/2024 14:53

Hardly ever - most of it has been ruined now by cheap ingredients.

otherwayup · 16/04/2024 14:51

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!

Sourisblanche · 16/04/2024 14:38

1-3 squares dark chocolate daily. Today I’ve had G&B ginger dark. Very nice.

I did have some of the dc Cadbury chocolate over Easter but didn’t enjoy it.

urbanbuddha · 16/04/2024 14:37

Most days, but only dark chocolate. I don’t really like milk chocolate all that much.

SallyWD · 16/04/2024 14:35

Every day but I try to do so in moderation. I buy a big bar - either Lindt, Tony's or Green and Blacks and it lasts me a few days. I'm a strong believer of eating what you want, but sensibly. I've never been one to eat a entire packet of biscuits, for example. Sorry, I know that sounds smug.

BMW6 · 16/04/2024 14:34

Perhaps 4 times a year - and then only a few squares of really dark chocolate. It's not my thing.
