Think that eating pineapple will make up for the entire packet of kinder chocolate?

[lostboysfallin]

why do I buy these things?
I have eaten DS's easter chocolates 4 times over, so bought some little kinder chocolate for myself

Why have I eaten the whole packet?
Ffs

Can't you keep your son's Easter things somewhere else until Easter?

Why don't you just buy what you want to really eat?
I can't be doing with food for someone else.

It's still Lent, why have you bought Easter chocolates already? Maybe you could try giving up chocolate for 40 days, it might not seem so appealing afterwards. Pineapple is full of sugar and won't help at all. Eat more veg and less fruit to reduce your sweet tooth.

Pineapple is also mostly sugar/carb too. So don't eat that.

I buy my dc treats when we are out of the house and they then have them in their hand iyswim - so they are not sitting in a cupboard looking at me

I did, I wanted the kinder bars, I like them.
I'm just useless if I have chocolate in the house. I can't stop myself from eating it all

I never buy it, and just had some little choc eggs that I would eat a handful, but then had to replace.

Happycamel, are you not allowed to buy chocolate if you have given it up for Lent? I'm not religious.

I dont really have a sweet tooth, like I said I don't usually buy it.

YANBU, its a well known fact that the acid in pineapple means you spend more calories digesting it than are in it, so if you eat about 2,000,000,000 pineapples it should balance out
hth!

Ok. I don't understand a bit...I think...

Your op was all 'why do I do this. Why do I buy this stuff'

And now you say 'i never buy this stuff. It was just a small amount'

Is it a non problem really. Or am I being dense ?

If you've eaten them 4 times over, perhaps you should leave replacing them until nearer Easter Sunday, or asking someone else to mind them for him?

YANBU.

Eating lots of chocolate followed by lots of fruit is called 'Off-setting' (my mortgage works like that too): if you eat lots of fruit and veg you are allowed a lot of chocolate and other crap treats.

And all you other non-chocolate eaters, be that for religious or other reasons: you just don't understaaaaand

I love chocolate. My off set is the fucking gym.

Ah, yes, exercise can work too, I've heard. But it sounds too much like hard work.

rhonda, I did NOT know that about pineapple

I didnt make it up!

I think celery is the same.

Isn't pineapple basically just sugar, water, a bit of fibre, and more sugar?

I always wonder whether you could sell sugar cane as a healthy snack to people... - but it's FRUUUIIIITTTT so it must be good for you!!!

I like the odd bit of fruit but it's best eaten in moderation, just like anything else full of sugar.

I can't NOT finish a packet of either Cadbury Chocolate Fingers or Malteasers. So....I buy them once in a blue moon knowing that I will eat them all in one sitting. This stops the guilt.

I give you negative calorie foods

I can just feel my whole life changing.
Hahahahahaha!!

nevermind. The thought was there.

PacificDogwood - it's a lovely thought, but utter bollocks I'm afraid. I suspect the only thing that you can eat that will use more calories to digest than you can release from it would be a lump of coal :)

Ive just remembered I have three Easter eggs in the cupboard, and major pms. Dammit.

I am safe as all our horded Easter Eggs are Cadbury's and Cadbury's chocolate is Evil and Poisonous (I am a Galaxy girl).

malinois, I know it's bollocks, that's why I was laughing . Presumably raw broccoli will have more negative calories than cooked because you have to put more effort into chewing?!

Pineapple is fine (had to wade in as people dissing it) - I eat a load of fruit, pineapple, grapes and bananas being my fave, and fresh from a BUPA health assessment I cam tell you that my internal body fat is 21.2% (actually slightly lower than the 22-28% ideal range).....[decides not to boast about vo2 fitness score, lung 'age' etc ]

I bought DS some little eggs, I keep replacing them and eating them again.
So to keep me from eating his chocolate I bought some kinder chocolate for myself, and instead of eating a little bit, I have eaten it all in one day.
I just can't have chocolate in the house
Fortunately it's only because Easter is coming that I have it in

So I should just buy Easter chocolate the day before, but I panic that there will be none left.

Pacificdogwood, offsetting, yes that's it exactly!

Fresh pineapple gives me such horrendous mouth ulcers I wouldn't be able to eat anything for days .

How long till the end of Lent? Shrove Tuesday was 4 weeks ago. Not had chocolate. Have 2 boxes of Creme Eggs in the pantry.
Calling to me

Feel better in the knowledge that by eating the chocolate you have saved dc from cavities, a bit like throwing yourself in front of a bullet. Also pineapple is great (loads of fibre).

Lol Op! Your as bad as me!

But come off it op, you do have a sweet tooth!
