Support for snacking on crisps and chocolate

[Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain]

I don’t want to put this in weight loss chat because then I feel worse (everyone has such nice, good diets there!).

But can I start a support thread for those of us (like me) who can hoover up an entire sharing pack of crisps (the big ones) to themselves. Plus chocolates and so on.

I don’t mind the odd treat like Rich Tea light biscuits or chocolate wafer biscuits.

But I need to post here when I get tempted usually of an evening and even not to buy them!

Please, no saintly 😇 people who say “oh I never ever snack!”

Snacking for hangover is probably medicinal and essential.

I think posting about the smacking made me eat far less than usual! I had 2 choc chip cookies too with milk and that was it. Which is excellent for me!

I was doing great and then it went to hell. I was attacked by a random dog as I was walking down the street and got quite badly bitten. After an evening in A&E having my wounds taken care of I turned to the Lindt chocolate my DP had bought me - and have continued the chocolate since. I’m still feeling very shaky after the incident and trying to manage the dressings ( which is tricky cos a lot of the wounds are on the back of my thigh. Feeling very sorry for myself ..

@runningonberocca oh that’s horrific!

Ate the police involved? Where was the owner? Off lead?

It sounds like you might need the sugar for shock. Whatever gets you through something as frightening as this x 💐

Thank you @Rummikub .Yes - have reported to police. He ran out of a house that had the door open. Owner did eventually get him off me - she really couldn’t control him and he had me up against a wall at that point. She didn’t apologise at all or even ask if I was ok . ( blood coming through my trousers) . The neighbours and passers by were very kind though. Apparently he’s bitten before. It could have been a lot worse for me though - I’m a little surprised at how much it’s affected me

@runningonberocca I’m not surprised how much it’s affected you. It sounds traumatic.

There’s a dog round here that keeps escaping and the owners think it’s funny. I don’t!

Im glad the police are involved and I hope there’s some consequences for the owner.

meantime plenty of sugary snacks and comfort tv.

Yesterday I had two boosts and two cookies.
one more boost today then I won’t buy anymore.

I’ll try dark choc or kids choc instead.
