Simply that...

AIBU to eat it everyday?

Up until a month ago it was everyday, then I was diagnosed with Gerd and had to give it up, haven't had any since... I really don't miss it.

garlictwist · 03/09/2020 05:15

Every day and waaay too much.

MrsLMM · 03/09/2020 05:18

I used to eat it every day, in huge amounts.

Gave up 3 months ago and have lost 13kg so far.

I do walk down the chocolate aisle wistfully though. Blush

Once a week maximum. Usually on a Sunday evening. For me it's a treat.

DipSwimSwoosh · 03/09/2020 06:19

I used to love it and eat it daily, but as I don't pop into shops anymore due to the Corona situation, I hardly ever eat it now. When I have eaten it recently I found it disgusting. However, I still get cravings for sugar, and will eat sugar on its own which feels really wrong.

Pretty much everyday!

Regularname · 03/09/2020 06:41

Eat a small amount daily. It’s milk chocolate so not very healthy. I found when I went cold turkey I would binge.

Frazzled13 · 03/09/2020 07:03

Chocolate like a bar or block, almost never.
A chocolate biscuit, one a day.

Makegoodchoices · 03/09/2020 07:09

Several times a day in lockdown. And I’ve put on 10lbs. Am now on September diet - giving Fast800 a go.

Shayisgreat · 03/09/2020 07:19

Friday-Sunday only. I used to eat it everday but I worry about my health/weight if I continue it!

houseymcmousey · 03/09/2020 07:20

Not that often. I love it, so I daren't buy it and have it in the house or it would be daily!

Maybe once or twice a month if that, if I pop to the shop for milk and see it staring at me from the shelf.

MsSquiz · 03/09/2020 07:22

Everyday!
I have a mini mars bar or snickers mid-morning, the occasional chocolate biscuit in the afternoon and sometimes one in the evening too!
At the weekend you can also add in a full size chocolate bar (usually a ripple or a twirl) and even sometimes a "sharing" bag of buttons (and I definitely don't share them!)
I will also usually have a chocolate based pudding if we go out to eat!

And I used to eat far more than that before I had DD!

Oysterbabe · 03/09/2020 07:23

I only have it at the weekend. I have to be careful with what I eat as I gain weight easily.

Skyliner001 · 03/09/2020 07:25

Once every one or two weeks. More likely at that time of month 🙄😱😳

@TAKESNOSHITSHIRLEY
Same Sad I probably have around 15 bars a day (or equivalent in chocolate cake/biscuits/ice cream) I live with a smoker who obviously doesn't think it's an 'addiction' but I get genuinely panicked when I don't have access to chocolate and sometimes plan whole days around it so I can get some. It's the cause of a lot of problems in my life but I can't stop! It's beyond ridiculous. Did you doctor suggest anything other than cold turkey? I did have CBT but they kept trying to pin it to some childhood trauma that doesn't exist as they couldn't understand it was like an addiction. And as I've always stayed around a size 12 (I tend to replace meals with chocolate) I don't think they believe me how much I eat.

Happynow001 · 03/09/2020 07:37

Nowhere as often I used to! One memorable day I my 20's I ate NINE picnic bars in one day as I gave in to period cravings. I was addicted anyway though. Now I only eat good quality dark chocolate (Montezuma (73% cocoa solids), Waitrose No.1 Peru (80%) or when very rarely gifted Hotel Chocolat dark chocolate. A 100g bar lasts me about 3 weeks but I do drink one strong good quality Cocoa daily made with skimmed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and stevia as a snack. 🌹

SnackBitch2020 · 03/09/2020 07:37

I eat one or two bars of chocolate a day.

bumblingbovine49 · 03/09/2020 07:38

None for months at a time. I'd love to have a bit a day. I just can't . I can do it for a few days but at some point I will eat it all and start craving what is there to the point I can't concentrate so I don't keep any in the house and try not to buy it

DH does keep some around for the occasional nibble but he has been told to never let me know where it is and I don't go looking . I have on occasion found his stash by accident and have eaten the lot because the surprise of finding it means I don't have time to implement tanynswlf control Blush. He knows about this possibility so tends to buy things like chocolate ginger or chilli chocolate which I loathe. Grin

HappyBdayWilson · 03/09/2020 07:39

Either seversl times a day or not at all. It's easier/healthier for me just not to have it in the house.

I have a very slim ( size 6-8) friend who seems to live on chocolate, cake and dessert.. Pretty much no carbs other than sugar and the flour in cakes and very little of anything else

She has been like this for the 40 years I have known her.

Snorlax86 · 03/09/2020 07:44

Every single day, I absolutely love chocolate, I would eat it all day long if I could. I don’t understand how people can only eat 1 or 2 squares, bigger bars only last 1-3 days max!

vanillandhoney · 03/09/2020 07:57

Maybe once or twice a week?

Crisps, on the other hand, I eat everyday Grin

Ginfordinner · 03/09/2020 07:58

@multivac

Barely ever. Not keen.

Cheese, however... daily.

This ^^ is me Grin

I don't understand people who eat chocolate every day. I can take it or leave it. Although I do enjoy a bag of liquorice allsorts now and again. I'm not holier than thou about sweets.

Yaottie · 03/09/2020 08:06

Several times a day. I run a sweet company so the temptation is always there
