to have just eaten a whole Terry's chocolate orange

[witherhills]

I'm so fed up

Blimey I can't believe this thread

Does no-one think it's a bad idea to eat almost 1000 calories and an entire day's fat intake all at once?

Surely that's a heart attack waiting to happen eventually?

But I wouldn't eat a box of After Eights every day Worra. Just as a treat.

Yum, get in there! Have you seen the boxes of Segments, different flavours of Terry's chocolate orange. They're seriously lush, yet I haven't seen them this year.

Lol I was talking about a choccy orange! I have no idea about After Eights, except they're not as nice as those little chocolate coin things with minty bits in

Elizabeth Shaw Chocolatey minty thingies Worra? I expect After Eights are virtually fat free-they are too thin to hold any fat.

one whole choc orange is far too easy to eat on my own. they should be bigger.

I can eat a whole bag of those twirl bites without noticing.

Agree cadbury's choc fingers just nibble away to dust, you don't feel full/sick after a box or two.

That's them Elizabeth Shaw!

Seriously though, I do find these threads odd when people seem to encourage greed without a second thought.

choc oranges are a quid in asda.

chill Worra, it's christmas

It's not Christmas!

And even if it was, your body still shouldn't be subject to a whole day's fat intake in one tasty treat Lol

I like those Cadburys minty things that are like chocolate Pringles.

YANBU and I love you now as I've just remembered I've got one stashed away fir Christmas. December 6th = Christmas in my book

Sounds like op already knows And feels crap enough Worra

The OP hasn't said why she's fed up

But if it's because she's eaten a whole chocolate orange, a thread full of people patting her on the back isn't going to help her anyway is it?

worra-stop killing the buzz please.

Op-I wouldnt sweat it-since poundland has got all their xmas goodies in I most certainly have not scoffed 6 toblerones,2 choc oranges and 6 boxes of after eights-no not me

I wouldn't say it was unreasonable but I would say it was greedy. And probably not even that nice after about half of it.

I can see you aren't in a happy place OP

come on worra you must have a desperately unhealthy vice?

I would if I had one. Hope you feel better soon.

hmm

OP did bring this to AIBU, so may want to spark a choc-scoff-debate

or, she's new and didn't realise this would spark a choc-scoff-debate

it's only unreasonable if

a) you had diabetes/ another dietary issue where choc could be incredibly damaging

or
b) you stole it
c) you were bullied or pressured into eating it
d) ...can't think of any more

No dietary issues

Just fed up, so I ate it
Now Im fed up because I ate it
Nice vicious circle

DS been poorly for 4 days, he's better today, but this pm bouncing off the walls and I feel so mean for shouting at him

But he doesn't listen, has seriously hurt me half a dozen times today, some seriously bizarre requests, like wanting to walk 2 streets away back from the shops, rolling around on sainsburys floor, running away from me

Bless him

It sounds like you've had a shit day OP but honestly, gorging on on chocolate won't (and hasn't) made anything better has it?

Perhaps next time, a hot bubble bath when he's in bed and just a few segments?

Meant to say, hope he's better soon!

the trouble with chocolate oranges is that they're portioned in a way that makes your subconscious think it's okay to scoff the lot in one go, viz, they're orange-sized. No one would think badly of you for eating a whole orange. If you're working your way through a layer of Thorntons Continental, at some point your brain kicks in and mutters that you've had seven or nine or whatever, whereas with a chocolate orange, your brain's still thinking, half an orange, not so bad really.

That may just be me though.
