I'm eating chocolate everyday!

[Stillmonday]

It used to be a weekend treat only but since giving birth 2 months ago I've eaten it everyday.

I feel guilty!!!

Why ?

Eat away! I'm currently pregnant and have never eaten as much rubbish as I am at the moment

Why the guilt?

Good quality chocolate is high in iron and antioxidants. Keep munching!

2 squares of dark chocolate here after dinner every day. I look forward to it all day.

I've eaten some chocolate every day of my life although I ration it to small amounts. I've no diabetes or any other problems despite being old enough to have a grandson of 20.

Life's to enjoy...everything in moderation.

That's a shame. Could be chockie at every meal, you know. Go on. You know you want to.

I eat chocolate every day. I love it! I’m slim and healthy.

Gonna have some now, thanks for reminding me!

Instead of losing weight when I had the baby, I put more on. I think it's a combination of tiredness and boredom. I was constantly at sweet things.

what do you mean by chocolate?

tbh I have no judgement either way, I'm just amazed when people define it as "2 small squares of 80%" etc.

If you can't cut yourself some slack when you've just given birth when can you? If ever there is a time in a woman's life when she needs the quick energy and comforting taste of chocolate then the first gruelling months of motherhood are surely that time. You are probably using more calories than you realise anyway, being up half the night. Especially if you are breastfeeding, that can burn up to 500 extra calories a day - chomp away!

Eat the chocolate and enjoy it!

Thanks everyone - you are right, I deserve it ;)

I eat quite a bit of chocolate every day and always have done. I think a lot of people do.

I do, anything from 2 squares of 70% dark chocolate to ...a whole bar of Aldi nutty milk chocolate. It makes me happy.

I'm currently eating nutella from the jar with a spoon while watching old episodes of Bake Off on Netflix. I can't judge.

I've found my people! My current favourite is Aldi's choceur. You can buy packs of small bars and they're lovely. No palm oil either. Eating a little bit of chocolate every day is my vice. I don't smoke, I'm not a heavy drinker, I'm not overweight. Where's the harm? Enjoy it OP and don't feel guilty. There are lots of worse things you could be doing!

It’s been three days since I’ve had chocolate and now it’s all I can think about. This thread should come with a warning

Chocolate is made from a plant so it's one of your five a day.

Life is too short to feel guilty about eating something that you enjoy. ( I'm sure Maya Angelou or Saint Augustine must have said something similar! )
