FFS!

Just opened a mini eggs chocolate bar intending to have just one strip and 10 minutes later have eaten the whole fecking thing!! 😬

Honestly I have no bloody willpower sometimes.

This is the whole reason I don't normally buy these bars of chocolate because I cannot be trusted not to be a total greedy twat!!! 😂

Not with chocolate

but if I have fruit muesli and Greek yoghurt in the house…. I can devour an obscene amount hence I don’t buy!

NigellaDelia · 27/03/2026 17:57

It's biscuits with me ~ I used to be able to get through a packet in no time at all

I've found it's best not to buy them at all as I have NO willpower

StormyLandCloud · 27/03/2026 17:59

Yep! I also have mini egg problem 🥺 .. it used to be peanut butter on hot buttered toast … I no longer buy peanut butter but I love mini eggs …
thank god they’re rare as hens teeth and only around a few months a year 🤣

I don't normally buy chocolate bars of that size as I know what I am like. But I saw one and thought this time would be different. That I would be able to just break some off and put the rest away. Turns out not. 🙄😂

In my head I was telling myself 'its okay because its Friday and I deserve it'

I never learn. I know what I am like with anything mini egg related but for some reason I thought this time would be different.😂

Yes @ErlingHaalandsManBun I do this with chocolate all the time, promise myself I’m only having a few squares and keep going back. Internally calling myself every name under the sun!

ChickpeaCauliflowerSalad · 27/03/2026 18:04

I never used to have a problem just breaking off a bit & leaving the rest, but for some reason it became a problem so now I do it in the kitchen, put it on a plate, in a bowl, on a piece of paper towel - whatever, & put the rest away. If it's just next to me I'll keep picking at it

fouroclockrock · 27/03/2026 18:05

All the time.

Did you buy it for yourself or someone else?

dontforgetme · 27/03/2026 18:05

I ate a whole one last night op! Although they do piss me off, it’s not mini eggs it’s bloody mini smarties, anyone agree? It’s not the same, it’s NOT mini eggs, I will die on this hill.

CookingFatCat · 27/03/2026 18:08

Ate a whole bar of Galaxy , a sharing one, last night.

Thats why I should buy Cadbury in future as there is no way I’d stomach a whole bar like that!

largeprintagathachristie · 27/03/2026 18:08

At the moment the thing I’m not allowing myself in the house is dark chocolate-covered ginger biscuits from Tesco. If only I could eat one at a time - but I just can’t. A packet of approx eight biscuits is gone in two days.

OMG now I REALLY want one …

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 27/03/2026 18:08

fouroclockrock · 27/03/2026 18:05

All the time.

And with everything, particularly carbs in any easily accessible form.

youalright · 27/03/2026 18:09

Yep absolutely no self control.

Disturbia81 · 27/03/2026 18:11

I could do several of those at once, I have such a beast inside me that needs silencing constantly

I can do those in one sitting, they’re fabulous.

A few years ago I broke a tooth on a mini egg that MIL bought the kids for Easter ( I was gonna replace them but even so I reckon the Easter bunny saw my act of theft and delivered retribution). It did put me off mini eggs forever.

AllTheWatersTurnedToClouds · 27/03/2026 18:15

Peanut M&Ms for me....

firstofallimadelight · 27/03/2026 18:17

If i bought the mini eggg bar i would scoff the whole thing too!!

These foods are designed by food scientists to make you want to carry on eating. It’s not your fault.

I bought it for myself, thinking this time I had it under control because I haven't done anything like that in a while. Turns out I don't 🙄Lesson learned 😂

Yes! Found a carrier bag with a couple of minty Terrys chocolate (orange things but mint) I misplaced from Christmas. Gleefully opened one to have a couple of segments and accidentally ate the whole thing. What a pig eh? I daren’t open the other one (yet!).

OMG they are soooooooo nice. I have never had one before, normally buy the bags and share with DH. But it was next to me and I thought I would open it and just take a few squares. DH is gonna be wondering where the hell its gone.😂

Kids have both left home too now so can't even shift the blame onto one of them.😂
