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

I have a little bit most days. I'm not super slim but definitely not the size of a house either!

Daily. I love chocolate. I'm very slim, exercise a lot & otherwise eat healthily.

I do eat it as an emotional support though, and know that's not great so am working on that. Kind of.

Once or twice a month at most. No sweet tooth here. Love it when I do have it, but would rather a slice of white toast

VivaciousRadish · 19/03/2023 20:20

Every day, at least once.

flowertoday · 19/03/2023 20:22

Everyday, but probably only a little bit - chocolate biscuit bar, few squares or a couple of chocolates.

I am too skinny ( stress from a difficult year) and struggle to eat enough at times.

I think a bit of dark ( or any mood wise ) chocolate is good for health 😋

Once a week or so but I don't feel any kind of compulsion about it. I keep a bar in the freezer and have a bit every now and then. Cheese though - could eat it by the mound.

poundshoptealights · 19/03/2023 20:24

Not very often, because I also love it and can't have it around without eating it all. I try to resist in general, but when I do buy (maybe once a week, more if ill or hormonal) I buy the amount I am prepared to eat knowing that it will all go!

Dinneronmybfpillow · 19/03/2023 20:24

Daily. I'm BF twins and until now that's kept everything in check but they're almost a year old and dropping feeds.... it's going to bite me soon and I'll have to give it up. Bugger.

3 or 4 times a week, sometimes more sometimes less. I only buy it one bar at time as I would eat 3 bars in a row if I had a multi pack and then feel really sick. Not bothered about the calories as my weight is very consistent without really thinking about how much I eat.

angelikacpickles · 19/03/2023 20:30

Every day, but usually just a few squares of a bigger bar.

MotherOfVizslas · 19/03/2023 20:33

Daily, but I wish I could kick the habit☹️

BettyOBarley · 19/03/2023 20:35

Daily.
And it's doing me no favours.
I did de-chox for March one year to give me a kick up the bum and I think cold turkey is definitely the best way (I didn't do it this year though 🤣)

GoingOnce · 19/03/2023 20:40

Every single day.

WoofWoofBeachLife · 19/03/2023 20:41

Daily, we have just opened an Easter egg 🥚 😋 😀

Banrockmystation · 19/03/2023 20:48

Not very often. I’m overweight so have taught myself to not have it or buy it. It’s in the house but for dh or dc not me.

Whendovescry03 · 19/03/2023 20:49

Maybe twice a month and I'm really surprised to hear that some people eat chocolate every day. But then I live on processed food and never exercise so who am I to talk...

PritiPatelsMaker · 19/03/2023 20:51

Almost daily but I only eat a couple of squares of dark chocolate.

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 19/03/2023 21:33

MadMadMadamMim · 19/03/2023 18:44

Daily.

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

Mim, we are twins.

Wond3rment · 19/03/2023 21:35

Until Nov ‘22 I enjoyed a couple of bars of milk chocolate each day.

Since the beginning of Nov I have only eaten chocolate on Christmas Day. Weight lost has not been dramatic but I’m sure I’m healthier.

Wednesday6 · 19/03/2023 21:37

Quite rare... maybe once a month if I eat it more often I get addicted and crave it all the time. It usually takes 2-3 miserable weeks for me to get over it

chronictonic · 19/03/2023 21:39

Used to be very rarely.
Then gave up drinking... and have now replaced daily drink with daily dark chocolate.
Ooops.
But still healthier I think?!

StarDolphins · 19/03/2023 21:41

Daily…..I would say I’m thinner than I would like so at the min I’m just eating what I want. Never used to choose choc but now I really crave it!

LoveReallyHurtsWithoutLube · 19/03/2023 21:45

I have never liked the taste of chocolate. So….. never!

namechangeforthisbleep · 19/03/2023 21:48

Never but not because I'm good, because I'm too busy eating allllllll the fucking crisps

MsWhitworth · 19/03/2023 21:51

I’m also surprised how many people eat it daily. Maybe I just don’t like it that much!
