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!!! 😂

Mine is Mr Tom bars or peanut brittle I absolutely love the stuff!!

@TooPoor4PandaPooTea in my defence it was the 110g bar. 😅But it was still more than I would normally eat in one go.

As for those who have said they have polished off a box of 5 creme eggs in one go. Yep, done that too!!! Hence I NEVER buy the multi boxes of them because I know for sure I am dooooommmed!!!! 😂

Chocolate is my absolute weakness. I have to go cold turkey on it or I will devour a bar every single night. Since I’ve been EBF twins I’ve allowed myself a small bar every night but my sugar intake is out of control. I have a bar of whole nut on my bedside table that I haven’t eaten for two days because I have a terrible cold and can’t taste it so there’s no point in eating it, but that’s the first time that’s ever happened in my life. Also a banana Yazoo in the fridge which has been there for 3 days. I want to enjoy them so much but it would be a total waste if I ate them now.

About three times a year I buy a jar of Heinz sandwich spread, and scoff almost the whole lot within 48 hours, on bread, when I’m trying to limit carbs.

Oooo my favourite!!

I'm actually glad (for myself not everyone else) that Cadburys and even Nestle now have completely ruined their chocolate.
Easter eggs used to be my Kryptonite as soon as they hit the shelves, I would rather no chocolate than Cadburys now.
Biscuits though? A pack of those takes about 10 minutes to disappear, Maryland Cookies, Fox's biscuits, Border Ginger biscuits or Shortbread and I have zero control. I stand in the shop telling myself not to do it, I know they won't survive past the hour and about 60% of the time I succeed. But this is every couple of days so the 40% is pretty bad.

Salt and vinegar Pringles...if I cave and buy them it has to be the small snack-size tubes otherwise I'll eat them from a big tube until my tongue goes numb from the vinegar!

Crisps. Just can't trust myself with them. Especially those bigger bags 😬 and bottles of wine 😫but your chocolate is safe.

I’m on chemo and for some reason my taste buds are totally altered. So, my downfall ( for some unknown bloody ridiculous reason) is frazzles crisps! 🙈
I could eat six packets, one after the other, no problem!

These too for me! I just cannot have them in the house because once I pop I definitely cannot stop. I bloody love them!! The saltier and more vinegary the better 😂

I craved them so badly when I was pregnant with my youngest that I would binge them and hide the empty tubes round the house. Until DH found my stash and its a running joke now to 'keep Mum away from the Pringles!' 😂

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

Yep. Biscuits here too.

or more recently the coop giant BBq puffs!

I rarely buy these things because of lack of willpower.

But I also figure everything in moderation. So I I eat a whole bag of crisps in a sitting but it’s the only crisps I have that week it balances out 🤷‍♀️😆

Marmite crisps here. They're like crack!

Have you tried the Lidl Greek style garlic and olive ones… huge bag that can be snaffled far too easily.

Crisps are my downfall. I can take or leave chocolate thankfully!

Mini eggs are the BEST! It’s taken me years to realise I’m going to eat it all anyway, so might as well have it straightaway, because then I’ve got maximum time to burn the extra calories! So the optimum time is to have it all for brekkie 😉

Ooh they sound amazing!! I need to hunt them down!

Eating my mini egg choc bar as I write!

pinkyredrose · 29/03/2026 15:37

Wonder if there's a vegan version of the mini egg bar? Not sure if that would be a good or bad thing!
