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!!! 😂

This thread has made me laugh, and we're so convinced that we'll just have one, no problem!

I hate mini eggs but Cadbury whole nut chocolate is my drug

I bought one of those massive bars (the almost a fiver one) and said to dp 'this should last until we next do the shopping' (we go to tesco every other friday)

I'd scoffed the lot within 8 hours

Ditto milkybar,lindt (the white or pink), green and blacks white/dark chocolate,walkers chilli crisps and creme eggs-i cannot have them in the house or I sit and eat the lot in one go

Im a greedy pig and I admit it

I can't have salt and vinegar pringles in the house anymore as I just eat the lot in one sitting. I used to hide the empty cartons in the recycling so DH wouldn't think I was a little piggy. 😂Needless to say he found them and now its a running joke in our house not to let me near them as I can't be trusted.

It depends what time of the month it is. Pre-period - yep! It’s a given. I also go looking for chocolate during the day on these days. Rest of the month, I can stop at just 2 crème eggs. However in the run up to Easter, all bets are off 🐣

ThatInbetweenBigCoatAndJacketWeather · 27/03/2026 22:04

I could mainline any chocolate I had in the house. I’m now on Mounjaro and I still enjoy chocolate but can easily limit myself to a few squares. It honestly still blows my mind how it works!

stapletonsguitar · 27/03/2026 22:07

DS had a big bar of chocolate in his room. Said I could have a bit then he went away for the week. Every time I went past his room I went in and had a bit until it was gone so I replaced it. Then did the same again 😬

Bikechic · 27/03/2026 22:17

There's two reasons I haven't done that this eve.

  1. I dont have any chocolate in the house
  2. Actually that's the only reason. I like to think Id share it with DD, but that's not guaranteed.
Gipgone · 27/03/2026 22:20

Six cornetto this evening.
Five crème eggs last night

XenoBitch · 27/03/2026 22:21

I can not buy a multipack of crisps. They will go in one sitting.

I once bought a box of Lindt chocolates for my friend for Christmas, wrapped it and put it under tree. It called to me, so I opened and ate it over a few days. Bought and wrapped another, did the same thing again! The third box finally made it to her. I can't have them on the house!!

This really made me chuckle, lol, I hope they tasted even better as naughty!

SpicyChocolatte · 27/03/2026 22:22

I've done this several times this week OP, not necessarily with a mini egg bar but similar (Easter eggs!)

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 …

8 biscuits in 2 days? I wish I could make them last that long! 🫢

This is similar for me, but with the Lamb & Mint crisps right now (Walkers Sensations)
I keep buying them for my mum, and bloody eating them.

BitOutOfPractice · 27/03/2026 22:24

If I were any weaker, I’d be a fortnight.

Zov · 27/03/2026 22:26

Yep, polished off half a 185 gm bag of revels about half an hour ago. Blush

And I've been known to snaffle a box of 5 Cadburys Creme eggs. BlushBlush

(In one sitting.)

pinkyredrose · 27/03/2026 22:30

Marmite crisps here. They're like crack!

TooPoor4PandaPooTea · 27/03/2026 22:37

Got to ask @ErlingHaalandsManBun, the 110g bar or the 360g? (Screw shrinkflation)

I bought the 360g one as soon as they hit the shelves, it is for me. It will be entirely consumed on Easter Sunday. Yes, I have the willpower to not open it until then. I bought the bar rather than the bag of eggs because they wouldn't see Easter. (Wouldn't have seen March).

Once it is open, it will be gone though. No, I won't be sharing. 😅

CheddarCheeseAndCrispSandwich · 27/03/2026 22:40

I do this with giant family share bags of crisps…I tell myself that I’ll just have ‘a few in a bowl’ and then clip the bag shut.

Never happens! I eat the whole bag 🤦‍♀️

Gone in days????

Bakehouse dipped chocolate cookies… gone in… well, much quicker than days more like minutes

Never heard of them til bloody Asda sent them as a sub for Maryland cookies - and what a sub! They are divine dipped in tea or just shovelled down!
Curse you, Asda!

DP and I did this, Christmas 2024. We thought we were clever buying the tubs of Heroes, QS, Roses etc nice and early when they were 2 for £7 or suchlike.

Yeah - so clever we had to replace them twice, just as the price went up! We didn’t get them til days before Christmas this last year. Struggled to get through them, they were not very nice (and all bloody tub and no chocolate😡)
