To ask how much chocolate you’ve had today ?

[Ellarose23]

Please someone make me feel better about what I’ve eaten 😆
this morning I had 2 slices of toast with biscoff spread , then “lunch” I had a small chocolate Cadbury buttons Easter egg , the whole thing in one go😆 I’m very slim and trying to gain weight but have suffered from eating disorders (orthorexia) which means I’m obsessive about eating healthy foods.
ive been avoiding foods with E numbers and additives etc and watching sugar intake , but today I gave in due to hunger and realised that egg had over 50g of sugars and now I’m panicking and feel like I can’t eat anything rest of day cause let’s face it near enough everything has sugar in it 😆 help me feel better please !!

I’m not eating chocolate instead of meals . It was a one off 😆

None, but I did have an 80g bag of mini eggs yesterday

Love any green veggies . Just don’t know what type of protein to have with it should I be adding carbs in too ?

I ate super unhealthy when pregnant too but she came out 4lbs😆😆

None. Had 3 hot cross buns and some salt and vinegar Pringles though.

A double decker and a bar of dairy milk 😂 that isn’t usual for me but I’m tired and needed the sugar hit.

I’ve had two tunnocks caramel wafers. The outside is chocolate.

None today but quite a bit yesterday. Trying to hold out till the weekend…

I haven't had any but I don't see the harm in having a treat.

None but we have chocolate cake for dessert today.

The lunch of champions- a whole medium sized Lindt gold bunny (100g). I started feeling sick towards the end but pushed through and finished strong with the ears (best bit).

Thats what happened with my first 😂😂 so im actually hoping this one is chunky haha

OP, no harm at all will come to you from eating the Cadbury Easter egg as a one-off. Your body was calling for it, perhaps you needed the calories and an instant lift. I’m like that when I’m getting a migraine, my body calls for sugar, it even stops the migraine sometimes if I have a spoonful of honey. You should have your meals as normal for the rest of the day.

If you’re trying to gain weight just concentrate on making your meals balanced and healthy, have protein AND carbs with every meal. Let yourself have sufficient calories and you won’t want to binge on something sweet. Low carb eating is more for people who need to lose weight. Carbs will help you gain some weight and small amounts of sugar in moderation will do you no harm while you’re very slim.

I give you permission to nourish yourself and even have a sugary treat now and again!

Apologies for repeating the original post!

Just finished a small Twirl. Feel no guilt as no weight to lose, though I still account for the calories in my head, force of habit.

I’ve had a quarter of a huge bar of Milka chocolate but will probably have a bit more later because an open bar calls to me from the cupboard.

Managed to resist despite making an enormous chocolate torte for the weekend. The whole house smells of chocolate but I've promised myself an indulgent weekend if I can hang on being healthy for lent. That unfortunately means no chocolate as one little bit sets me off and I can't stop.

I'm making chocolate eggs with DD tomorrow too 😁. She can have some and I will live vicariously through her and everyone on this thread. I have a four pack of KitKat chunky hidden in a cupboard somewhere waiting for the dam to break. My self control is shocking myself. Bloody love chocolate.

None because I'm one of those strange people that doesn't like chocolate or anything sweet 🤣
I don't like alcohol or cheese either so I'm mega strange according to my friends and family

I've had a couple of malteser mini bunnies and a handful of giant buttons. I'm off downstairs to get some more now.

None, don't have any most days

What is your favourite thing to eat then?
Also, have you considered a different user name? 😉

One packet of Crunchie Rocks, a Nature Valley protein berries and chocolate bar.

none... i gave up chocolate for lent! what i would say is, perhaps try make contact with any support you may have, because it sounds like things may be spirralling out of control for you

None.

Coffee and crisps make me merry 🤣
