Quality Street Everywhere

Or Roses, or some other junk by the bucket in the office, near desks, in the kitchen etc.

I don’t even like or crave them but can’t walk past without taking one or grabbin* one to have with a cup of tea…

How can I just ignore them?

Close your eyes?

Eurgh, they are called no quality street in this house 😂 bloody horrible things. Actually none of those assortments of chocolates ever tempt me, if i fancy chocolate I’m eating a proper bar not tiny pinky finger sized offerings where the ratios are all off!

Too much sugar.... I can tell you what stops me... I had a blood test which put me borderline pre-diabetic. Makes it much easier to not bother with tasteless sugary goo.

You could set yourself a quota of sorts. You can either have a couple of these OR a really nice biscuit with a cuppa later, or a couple of these OR a latte, whatever.

I am useless if it’s in my line of sight

So I just put them into the cupboard

I am sure it’s better for everyone’s health 😁

Can you lob me the ones with chips if orange in them? (Not orange creams) toffee coins, toffee chocolate sticks. None if the creams!!

thanks

Since you don't like them, can't you just remind yourself that you don't like them?

Maybe bring yourself something else to have with your tea, so you can think 'not that, I have something nicer'?
