I'm ill - AIBU to eat the chocolates?

[featherbag]

I've been doing WW for a month now and have lost 17.5 of the 75lbs I need to lose before DH and I TTC DC2. Today I feel really really poorly, I've got a raised temp, chills, body aches, a sore throat... I'm generally feeling very sorry for myself. I was weighed today and won't be weighed again until next Friday due to work commitments stopping me attending my regular meeting. I have a box of Lindor white chocolate truffles sitting waiting to be wrapped as part of my DGM's birthday present, but I won't be seeing her until at least Friday. AIBU to eat the chocolates? Not all of them, just 1 or 2 to make me feel better...

No! Chocolates are bad for a sore throat.

Well done on the weight loss!

No, I wouldn't eat them because I doubt they'll really make you feel better at all.

They're not yours to eat and if you do eat them, you'll still have a raised temp, chills, body aches, a sore throat.

Try a warm honey and lemon if you fancy something sweet or an ice lolly maybe?

I mean YABU. Not no eat them. :o

i would. i ate chocolate every day during my 7 stone weight loss. be good the rest of the week

Oh ok then

lola, to be fair I probably would eat the whole box if I open them.

Couldn't you just sniff and lick them a bit and then replace the lid?

actually....

i got a horrible virus thing last week, still got the remnants of it now. i gave up wine while ill, and have decided to stop buying it as i feel better, am sleeping better, and have lost 4lbs since stopping drinking (yes i know its bugger all but its motivated me!)
while i was at my most ill i didnt eat much other than soup or boiled eggs, but i did polish off half a box of mothers days chocs.....and i bloody well enjoyed them!

i would say if you have the willpower to stop at a few, and you really fancy them, then have a few, i think you should eat what you want when poorly!

Vicar, that's the problem, I don't have the willpower, once the box was opened that would be it, it would be 'just one more' until they were all gone! I'm taking myself off to bed away from temptation and if I get up in the morning to find DH has eaten them now I've drawn his attention to them he's a dead man

in that case put them away out of sight and dont look at them again!

Am now safely tucked up in bed away from the chocolate, thanks for helping me resist, I would've cursed myself in the morning faced with the empty wrappers! Night all
