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

Ask me again on Sunday…

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.

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.

Exactly, they say your body sometimes craves what it is lacking; sugar evidently in my case!

I don’t think splitting one Kit Kat between two of you is what the OP had in mind when she said ‘calorific’ tbh

Maybe the "new" KitKat bars weigh 1 kg...? #hopeful

Yesterday I scoffed half of one of those big Tony's Chocolonely bars. Salted caramel.

Oh god I love those - has to be the big bars though. the small ones just don't taste the same.

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.

charmanderflame · 26/03/2025 14:32

😂3 packs of walkers crisps from a multipack, and half a pack of fox's viennese biscuits.

I'm pregnant, though, and you only get like 8 biscuits in a pack anyway! (rip off!)

Yes, me too,! Apologise in advance about tmi, but painful menstrual cramps are much more bearable with chocolate, oh and cake etc!

Edited

Hormones demand chocolate, it’s very basic science !

I’ve just bought cherry Bakewell ice cream that Im very much looking forward to stuffing myself with tonight!

theressomanytinafeysicouldbe · 26/03/2025 14:19

I was really good with a M&S chicken mushroom courgetti meal............

Followed by a M&S Cheese hot cross bun with lashings of real butter.........

Followed by an indulgent and slightly massive double chocolate chip cookie.......

Oops

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.

LBFseBrom · 26/03/2025 14:11

I don't buy biscuits or sweets because I know I would lack self control if I started, even though I don't have a sweet tooth.

I had a ciabatta roll with feta cheese, tomato, olives and basil leaves earlier. That is quite enough until later.

DilemmaDelilah · 26/03/2025 14:09

@Midweekmayhem it was very good! It's mixed milk and plain but tastes more plain than milk, to me. Kit kats have never been my top choice in chocolate, but I might be persuaded to change my mind.

And to everyone who is outraged by my sharing the kit kat... it was one of the big sharing bars and I didn't WANT to share it!

DilemmaDelilah · 26/03/2025 14:05

@MissScarletInTheBallroom I could quite easily have eaten the whole thing myself even though it's a 'sharing' bar... but DH bought it and was sitting right next to me so I didn't get the opportunity ☹️

I'm not looking on the back of the scrunched up wrapper beside me to see the calories; I'm presuming almost a day's worth, though 😬 Half was supposed to be for another time, then just though sod it, I'm eating it all.

Edited

Well I always think I would have just had the calories the next day anyway so may as well have them all at once!

LilacPony · 26/03/2025 14:00

I eat a 180g bar every Friday night 😂😂😂😂

YABU for not saving me any. I'm having a cheat day, as I'm premenstrual and have the munchies.

I've had 9 buttered crackers (so moreish!) A slice of birthday cake, a bag of crisps, a miniroll and now I'm eating a sausage roll and a cookie with the full intention of having McDonald's for dinner.

The diet can go fuck itself with the empty Greggs bag.

Will you be my friend please?! 😃

Starlight1984 · 26/03/2025 13:57

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 😍

My lunch was half a Ben and Jerry’s Karamel Sutra ice cream tub. Worth it.

Half is great willpower. You were just quality controlling it really! 😂

I'm not sure sharing a KitKat is really in the spirit of this thread, tbh.

YANBU OP. I am trying not to buy chocolate at the moment because I have zero self control and invariably finish it in one sitting.

Hope you find something extra indulgent. This is the worst part, I just know I bought it with the deep desire of polishing it off in one sitting. Dh said to me last night, "Don't worry about the calories, you can share it with dcs." I thought sod that, this is mine ('grown-up' chocolate) , they get more than enough. 😂 Saved it to scoff while they're at school today.
