fucking hormones, flab and fillings

I am not eating it because I'm fed up of eating crap, I'm turning a new leaf.

But FFS.

I've had a Reece's Nut Bar in my bag all day, am 5 months pregnant, had a row with DH and I still haven't eaten it. I don't know why. Now the heartburn is too bad.

Individually all the elements of these things are horrible - grainy, oversweet on filling, awful American chocolate etc, but all together they provide just the right chocolate/sugar hit. I tried the Reece's white chocolate pb cups yesterday. Disappointing.

Had a toffee crisp last week. They have halved not only the length but the depth so they are no longer as crispy.

Is nothing sacred in this country any more?!

I am really sorry to say this but i had one earlier.
healthily eating at the mo to ease peri menopause and lose a few pounds but today was a fuck it day.

it was good.

KaliforniaDreamz · 08/05/2019 19:04

Star Bar is my crack tho

LaurieFairyCake · 08/05/2019 19:07

I remember having one of those earnest conversations in the pub with a group decades ago - we were all talking about who we'd like to meet in heaven if there was one

I was like "fuck that, if there's a heaven I'm going to eat fucking everything I had to deny myself in life to avoid being 20 stone"!

PREACH.

Putting away my food shopping earlier and there is one solitary bar of chocolate in the salad drawer, right at the bottom, unloved.

I feel sorry for it now and may have to eat it Grin

My fix is currently Malteser buttons.

for all you toffee crisp lovers, I give you www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/262105049 Jutrzenka Jezyki Classic Biscuits. Nine mini, circular toffee crisps. Or 18 for £2 when they are on special. I cannot describe how lovely they are with a proper cup of tea.

I went and sadly rummaged in my salad drawer- no toffee crisps. Woe is me.

I'm contemplating walking to the shop for one. It needs to rain in the next five minutes or my half stone is out the window.

Stupidly up until now I'd thought the salad drawer was for salad. Consider me educated! Just nipping to the shops...

KaliforniaDreamz · 08/05/2019 19:41

am intrigued Garth

Come on...

No one has mentioned Twix yet?

Fucking love a Twix 🙈🙈 havent had one in about 10 years

EastMidsGPs · 08/05/2019 20:21

Reading this I now have an irrational urge to eat a Walnut Whip. Irrational because the last time I had one, I also had a tight curly perm, wore shoulder pads and could fit into skinny jeans.

Morgan12 · 08/05/2019 20:25

Why do they get rid of all the good chocolate bars! Like Secrets and my all time favourite, Golden Cups.

ReSisterNotCister · 08/05/2019 20:28

That's what I want to know @Morgan12 the love of my life for many years was the marble bar.. oh and the white crunch bars

onlyhereforthefood · 08/05/2019 20:29

I had a white chocolate twix earlier, I'd kill for another six.

headinhands · 08/05/2019 20:30

Feeling it too op. Week three of low calorie diet. Never been one to rave about cake but keep thinking about it oddly. Decided I'll make a chocolate cake at the weekend because I'm still allowing myself little bits of lovely food. Could you have half one and make up for it with a tonne of salad

ssd · 08/05/2019 20:32

Golden Cups, bloody hell, I Loved those!!!

headinhands · 08/05/2019 20:36

Reading this thread I'm thinking about this cake we made at a school fete which was melted together mars/lion bars/snickers etc. It was, quite simply, amazing

Pinkarsedfly · 08/05/2019 20:38

Period week. Also, first time in months I don’t have an event to get thin for.

Consequently I’m wreaking havoc and cutting a swathe through every sugary carb in sight.

In the last 24 hours I’ve eaten an entire box of champagne truffles (wedding present that DH doesn’t like), two bars from Hotel Chocolat, an Alpro chocolate dessert and a massive bowl of Crunchy Nut.

You can tell I got desperate by the end.

RightOnTheEdge · 08/05/2019 20:44

How far is the walk to the shop OP?
Is it a far enough walk to cancel out the Toffee Crisp? Wink

dontticklethetoad · 08/05/2019 20:48

It's the Aldi Scottish butter tablet that has got me at the moment. I will eat it all in the car on the way back and then have to make an excuse as to why I don't want dinner (because I feel sick).

It's food shop day tomorrow. #prayfortoad

Does anyone remember the honeycomb toffee crisps they did a couple of years back? Even better than a classic TC, and I didn’t think you could improve on perfection. Agree they have got smaller now - it’s a bit counterproductive as I feel I need two bars now...
