Just ate a whole box of chocolates

DumpIing · 13/12/2022 23:06

I finished yesterday’s massive salad today.

I had been planning on stretching it out to Sunday.

Hotel Chocolat boxes are usually a one sitting affair. It’s only 155g, not even the equivalent of a full bar. You did the only sensible thing imo.

That's only about five or six ounces! Give yourself a break!

The box said 14 chocolates and I ate them all. It's a lot, isn't it? My head is buzzing now but maybe it's the Covid...

Btw this is a light hearted thread, in case not clear!

I nearly ate a whole box of Maltesers once, suddenly realised and stopped myself just in time. One left in the box.

@Jellybean23 you must have willpower of steel!

Nah, it's not a lot. Smaller boxes of chocolates make you feel guiltier when you finish them, because you've eaten "the whole box". Much better to have a ginormous one, then you either physically can't finish it, or it feels more like an achievement if you do 😁

155g - about the equivalent of 3.5 dairy milk bars

uncomfortablydumb53 · 13/12/2022 23:27

I've just eaten 150g of Lindt, which isn't unusual for me
Don't feel like you've fallen off the healthy eating wagon.. If you enjoyed them, that's all that matters

Would recommend.

Ha! I do not have enough of a sense of achievement. Must try harder

I'm also on a health kick but yesterday found a twix in the cupboard so ate that, then had a brownie after dinner and decided it was so good that I'd have another. Oh well.

Georgeskitchen · 14/12/2022 12:32

I once ate a whole Christmas cake.........

Anyone else feel sad for the leftover Malteser? I hope it wasn't long before you let it join the rest!

Ironic given my current username. It was a Hotel Chocolat box, sent as a gift in the post. I am on a health kick at the moment and otherwise would not have had them in the house. I caved and ended up eating them all. 155g. Now feel sick. In my defence I have Covid (3rd time this year) and am feeling bored and fed up. I have also eaten veg today, so that's something I suppose.

Please share your similar episodes to make me feel better.

All joking aside OP if you are ill you need to nourish yourself properly. Go back to a normal "healthy diet for a few days. Your body needs the energy and fuel to get better. Hope you feel better soon.

When I had covid I ate a whole stuffed crust cheese pizza, most of a box of quality street and too many doritoes for dinner one night. No regrets, I was ravenous the whole week and only caved that one night.

AlwaysFullOfQuestions22 · 14/12/2022 14:20

I ate a single tray of Ferrero in about an hour last night. Whats there 20 in it.
Yes i felt sick. Will i learn not to do again? Probably not!

Mamette · 14/12/2022 14:26

I ate a while sharing packet of Minstrels in the cinema last Saturday, pretty much.

I felt surprisingly ok afterwards 👍

Urgi · 14/12/2022 14:51

You have to eat the whole box before the free calories run out. Free calories come about when:
(i) the box has been opened first time - you then have a day to consume the contents. Next day full calories resume
(ii) you are ill - calories are not absorbed in the same way (at all) and so are free
(iii) it is December. No December calories count - this extends to 3rd Janaury
(iv) You are having a crappy day at work - stress negates calories

Those are the rules. You must not break the rules.

Lightweight.

Come back when you’ve eaten a giant toblerone in under ten minutes, then we’ll talk.

Mammma91 · 14/12/2022 15:01

Have you seen those huge chocolate crispy orange dairy milk bars? Ones specially designed to share? I ate almost an entire one last night, and finished it this morning. It’s Christmas to be fair! I hope you enjoyed OP, hotel chocolat is phenomenal.

Bananadramallamas · 14/12/2022 15:02

Mmmmmm Toblerone. Have you had the orange and ginger one? 👌

This and raise you a pack of caramalised cashews to wash it down.
I can pack it away when I want.

It may have even given your metabolism a lick op.🤣
