Do you have a "treat" everyday and if so what is it?

[Angelasweetcheeks]

Currently trying to ignore the lure of a digestive biscuit to dip in my tea. Generally don't eat biscuits but we have them leftover from a cheesecake recipe. I think I do generally have some kind of "treat" everyday though. The things I perceive as a treat might be a small chocolate, a biscuit, some crisps, an alcoholic drink etc. I think I need to reframe my thinking so that something healthier becomes my treat.

What do you consider your "treats"?

This is impressive. Can I ask how did you become so disciplined? I wish I could be more disciplined as in not eat chocolate every evening, don’t have the biscuits in the staff room etc. I’m obese and would love nothing more than be able to change this mindset of giving in to the sugar craving

just stop eating chocolate

I have a biscuit every day. Just one. On Saturday or Sunday I have a croissant sometimes.

Hi have you any recipes for snacks that you could share? Trying to make healthier ones at home. Thanks

Mounjaro! It killed my desire to eat and now Im slim Im desperate to stay slim. I cannot go back to the fat mess I had become.
I weigh myself every morning and if Ive put on a few pounds Ill get it off before it becomes half a stone or one stone.
I threw away all my plus size clothes so if I gain weight I have nothing to wear.
I drink a lot of water...it stops cravings.
I honestly fong think I could have done this without mounjaro.

Really really good sex

I’m on wegovy though the nhs, I’m on 2.4mg which is the highest dose they give have been for 6 months and weight loss has come to a halt :( haven’t lost since before Christmas now. I would do mounjaro if I could afford it.
i wish I could alter my mindset but in the moment the sweet craving is more pressing than the long goal so I give in easily. It’s disheartening when I was so
grateful to be put on the medication in the first place

Jam from lidl, the nice kind with big lumps of strawberry in it. Sometimes I have it on toast and sometimes I have a spoonful on top of some vanilla ice cream.

I like a little treat every day, sometimes chocolate, sometimes frozen cherries or pineapple, sometimes a home made cookie or slice of cake. I had one daily even when shedding the extra lbs I put on during covid.

I don’t think @StolenTeapotsand @TheQuaintLemonDuckwould get along much.

@FallenNight oh I loved that Essie nail oil. I used to put it on at night so it would have to work its magic without me washing my hands throughout the day. Thanks for the memory. I’ll seek it out again.

I do this too and also try not to feel guilty about the cost. I should be saving money but I started buying a latte most days during a very stressful time in my life and it was a comfort. I am also always very busy - I'm a working single parent to a toddler - but the shop bought coffee and time to sit in the cafe is my special thing.

They sound good, where do you get them from?

Which small bars of chocolate do you have & where do you get them from?

After most of the threads on here, the living alone seems like the treat!

Tell me more about your coffee & how you make it! It sounds good.

i have a sage barista coffee machine, but i had a stroke last year & started buying Costa Coffee latte sachets (just add hot water) & they make an acceptable drink, without the faff & mess, BUT I don't like the 796 ingredients, I don't think most of them can be good for ne, but I need tempting into faff & mess of real coffee!!

I think reading this thread my whole diet might be considered a treat. I've already had a cup of tea with sugar in and a biscuit thst dd baked yesterday!

I feel much the same 😆

I have a friend who always used to go on about me buying coffee out & if only I saved tgst money I could have a holiday! (More like a weekend away!) but as I explained to him 'Yes I could (but at that time I could do that easily as well!!) but instead of enjoying ball that at once. I enjoyed the coffee & walk/sit in smaller chunks daily! Why is pleasure spread out not as good as pleasure in one go???

he didn't really have an answer. It kind of shut him up. But that may have been my murderous look! 🤣

I buy the Moser Roth ones from Aldi. You get 5 small bars in a back, one for each weekday lunch time and there’s lots of different flavours so you don’t get bored. This week I have orange flavour.

Thanks. I'll have a look at them!!

Not reguarding seasonal fruit as a treat is sad to me. A really ripe melon, british strawberries or cherries how can you not consider that a treat ?

2 bars of chocs and 2 packets crisps most days.

I have a fun size chocolate bar - like the size you give out at Halloween. It’s just enough to give me a sweet treat and I can eat the whole thing - I can’t just eat a couple squares of a bigger bar. It’s about 100 calories and easy to work in to my calorie allowance. Alternatively I’ll have a coffee with cream - about 60 calories.

@SummerFrog2026 they are available in Tesco. Can get bigger packs online. The brand is called deliciously ella x
