How often do you eat chocolate?

I love chocolate but I can't just have a bit, I want the whole bar. As a result I don't buy it, I only eat it when gifted it.

I wish I could eat it everyday but I would be as big as a house Sad

Most days. I don't keep count. Just a little bit here and there.

Emmamoo89 · 19/03/2023 19:27

Daily

StiggyZardust · 19/03/2023 19:28

Had a couple of squares yesterday. Before that it was probably a couple of months. Chocolate doesn't do much for me. Never choose chocolate cake or desserts if I'm out.

LucyLeave · 19/03/2023 19:30

Most days.

Okunevo · 19/03/2023 19:31

4/5 days a week, until I run out. Usually 85%, sometimes 100% if it's on offer.

Dacadactyl · 19/03/2023 19:33

Approx once a week.

Aphrathestorm · 19/03/2023 19:35

When I'm hormonal.

Justcallmebebes · 19/03/2023 19:35

Very, very rarely. Don't have a sweet tooth and don't like it

MrsDoylesDoily · 19/03/2023 19:37

Average about once a week or just over I suppose.

Luckily I don't have any trouble eating half a bar and putting it back in the fridge, so I often forget it's there.

Verylongtime · 19/03/2023 19:38

Most days. I really like it. I’m very slim, though.

CosyFanTucci · 19/03/2023 19:41

Daily but 'only' a few squares of 75%+. I don't enjoy milk chocolate.

WeCome1 · 19/03/2023 19:43

Every day, but usually only one or two squares. Once a week I’ll end up having four or five.

Randommother · 19/03/2023 19:45

I used to binge eat chocolate - several bars, every day. I had hypnosis in October to help me stop and I haven’t touched it since.

LapinR0se · 19/03/2023 19:46

I’m a size 8/10 and I eat chocolate every day. I have one or max two squares and it’s either 70 or 85% cocoa. I don’t limit myself - that’s just what I fancy as it’s very rich

fgdk · 19/03/2023 19:51

Everyday. Healthy weight. I have a terrible sweet tooth and abstaining just makes me want it more, I'm better off just having a bit a day.

HoneyPotBee · 19/03/2023 19:51

Almost everyday.

GilbertNo4 · 19/03/2023 19:53

Can't stand the stuff, so never. My fatness is down to crisps and creamy sauces!

@Randommother can you tell me more about the hypnosis. How many sessions? In person, over zoom? Did you gradually go off it are 1 session or stop completely after a course?
I have thought about hypnosis for this on and off for a few years

champagneplanet · 19/03/2023 19:56

Daily, not much of a pudding/desert person but I like some chocolate with a cuppa. Usually a few chocolate digestives or a kit kat or something. I'm average weight for my height.

Fuwari · 19/03/2023 19:56

Hardly ever. It's rare that I actually fancy chocolate. When I do, I can just eat a couple of squares and the rest will be there for months! If I want something sweet it's more likely to be cake/desert. But even that, maybe once a week at most.

As a child I hoovered up sweets! Couldn't get enough of them. The people I know who eat a lot of sweet stuff now were restricted a lot in how much they could have as children. Which is why I think it can be counter productive to be too restrictive with your kids sugar intake. My DC got pudding every day, sweets regularly, etc and they're the same as me now as adults, rarely crave sweet stuff.

Titsywoo · 19/03/2023 19:58

Rarely as I don't really like it (apart from the occasional Caburys Twirl but I couldn't have more than one - my sweet tooth is non-existant). Also I have a lot of problems with acid reflux and it is one of the triggers.

AnnieSnap · 19/03/2023 20:01

I love the stuff, but it’s far too moreish for me. It’s my Kryptonite, so I don’t eat it at all.

JennyDarlingRIP · 19/03/2023 20:03

Daily pretty much but something small, two squares of a big bar is too tempting, one two finger KitKat eat the whole thing, just over 100 calories, usually after DS is in bed, with a cup of tea

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 19/03/2023 20:11

MadMadMadamMim · 19/03/2023 18:44

Daily.

I am as big as a house. (Genuinely).

I'm a bit like you but have had an extension put on the back, oh and a loft conversion.

Rebel2 · 19/03/2023 20:12

Almost daily. I buy those moser roth bars from Aldi so it limits me on portion!
