Please make me feel better and tell me what calorific things you have eaten today?! No salads allowed!

I I’d decided to make some flapjacks as they must be a bit better for you than cake , there’s oats y’know! I’ve had three pieces so far 🤤 …

I’ve just finished my 8th shortbread finger with a nice cup of tea!

Bloody love those, esp if they're the dipped in chocolate kind, haven't tried Aldi's. It's just as well, as it is dangerous opening a full packet with a cup of tea.

I've never been able to not eat the full packet of them Aldi hobnobs with a cup of tea🤭 moreish isn't a strong enough word😂

I ate a 192g bag of Cadbury Dairy Milk MEGA buttons to myself within 24 hrs. I did stick to the suggested serving of 4 buttons/127kcal but kept going back for another 4.... 🤣🤭

I had a Greggs bacon and omelette bap with a cappuccino for breakfast as I was on the road.

Just had a chicken pasta salad (yes salad but mostly chicken and pasta with mayo so not at all healthy!) for lunch and then was craving something sweet so nipped to the local bakery for a cornflake slice 😍

This is just normal eating, imo. Breakfast, followed by lunch.

You know the dairy milk box of 15 chocolate clusters... I polish the lot off, every.single.time.

I don't buy them very often for that reason 😂

AdaStewart · 26/03/2025 15:49

I’ve never tried the bar, but I’ve had the biscuits, & a small jar which lasted ages. We spread it on crumpets, I only had the one crumpet though. If I feel I’ve been a greedy bitch I just think of you lot & know that I don’t even come close. Although I’ve been on a few bags of crisps, a small crunchy, & small double decker for a few days now.

I bloody love those Biscoff chocolate bars. I honestly wish I'd never discovered them.

I had all of one of the big new KitKat bars, the hazlenut one. It didn't really taste of anything and wasn't very nice, so I regretted it... though of course I ate all of it just to make sure.

And then because it didn't hit the spot, I bought a muffin from M&S (that was delicious).

In my defense, my period started yesterday.

I was disappointed in them. Really was nothing going on. I swear all the fancy KitKats are meh.

DilemmaDelilah · 26/03/2025 13:33

I am currently sharing one of the new kit Kat bars with my DH

You are sharing a sharing bar???

I ate half a carrot stick so that'll be me for the day.

GoatCatTaco · 26/03/2025 15:24

I mean, biscoff is rank, so YABU to waste your calorie binge on something so foul.

However, honestly, there isn't a sharing pack of jelly babies, and a squashies packet in my work bin..... only bought them at lunchtime.

Noperope · 26/03/2025 15:15

An entire bar of Galaxy vegan salted caramel chocolate so calorific AND ultra processed 😭

I just checked online and it was 502 calories.

Whichone2024 · 26/03/2025 15:06

I once ate a almost a full tub of Pringles all to myself, DH asked if I’d left any, I told him of course left the rest in the cupboard - turns out there was only one left 😂

Snap! They were on offer in Aldi. Totally worth it.

ForTealBee · 26/03/2025 15:04

Before mounjaro I’d have smashed it in about a minute. So solidarity

KFC zinger rice bowl with an extra fillet and a tub of BBQ chicken chunks.

I have found my people on this thread. Got to do an extra zinger, and sweet chilli bites for the side, it is the only way. 😂

It just has to be done, I love Magum cracked salted caramel. Thick chocolate and icecream in one tub, 2 for the price of 1! 🤤

Literally anything with salted caramel in has my entire heart (and is probably the #1 reason for my entire arse!) and these are no exception!

perenniallymessy · 26/03/2025 14:53

YABU, that chocolate is not good. Love biscoff, love chocolate but the biscoff bar was really not my cup of tea.

Likewise the Reese's peanut butter bar is not good even though the peanut butter cups are amazing.

(However, YANBU to eat an entire bar of chocolate. Sometimes needs must!)

Go for it. I wish I could.

I was diagnosed coelic 4 years ago, and one of my regrets in life (seriously) is that I never tried biscoff before I was diagnosed. There was alway another time, another day, until there wasn’t.

I used to fucking love the chocolate Aldi did with salted pretzels in it.

I can still have the Aldi caramel chocolate if I want which is nice, but man, I miss the crunch.

Anyway people, don’t be like me. Try all the shit because if you don’t, one day, you might regret it as I do.

If it is an consolation they are addictive, and sometimes it is better not to have tried it, then you cannot miss it.
I can't drink, don't smoke, so I have to have one guilty pleasure! I have to space these things out though, as I'm a go big or go home sort of person.

I ate an entire packet of Welsh Cakes on Monday - so am eating soup and salad yesterday and today .As I am doing a bit of re-set after my autumn and winter comfort eating.

Well, like all cakes they're best eaten fresh, so it had to be done.

I have eaten normally today sorry. But last week I got home from work and decided to have a piece of cake that was leftover from the weekend. It needed microwaving and someone three mini doughnuts from the freezer also ended up in the microwave and I ate all of them. Not sure how it happens sometimes. As long as you enjoyed it and it's not every day I don't see the harm. Sometimes your body/mind just has cravings and it happens.

The heart knows what it wants. You can’t fight it.

I sat with my back against the freezer door last week eating three quarters of a tub of Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream while my children watched television in the other room.

I was on my period.

It just has to be done, I love Magum cracked salted caramel. Thick chocolate and icecream in one tub, 2 for the price of 1! 🤤
