Simply that.

AIBU to eat it every day?

Hardly ever over here because American chocolate is horrible. On trips to the UK...constantly!

orangejuicer · 03/09/2020 22:10

Daily and more than once. I'm desperately trying to stop.

Wrenna · 03/09/2020 22:12

When I wasn’t on a diet maybe 2-3 times a week but should be never-Migraines. Now I’m watching my weight never...but I’ve never really been a huge fan either.

makingbacon · 03/09/2020 22:12

Every day without fail. I honestly can't get to 3/4pm without a chocolate bar. And then more chocolate after dinner Blush

FWIW I'm a size 10 and no weight issues, but I do eat a lot of chocolate.

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/09/2020 22:12

I can't remember the last time I ate it, I don't have a sweet tooth.
I eat cheese every day though.

booksandhearts · 03/09/2020 22:15

Every night, it's my treat at the end of a busy day!

Sheknowsaboutme · 03/09/2020 22:20

Every day. Come 3pm i need something with a cup of tea in the office.

HighbrowLowbrow · 03/09/2020 22:22

Daily but in tiny amounts - ie one square of a big chocolate bar.

mrscruise · 03/09/2020 22:24

One of my loveliest friends has a chocolate factory. Since tasting her chocolate I've pretty much given up on cheap crap chocolate; I'd rather have her amazing chocolate as a rare treat.*

I want a friend with a chocolate factory! Envy

OP I was eating it every day but it got more and more and now I've given up and just have it once or twice a week. I reckon it's pretty addictive tbh

rosybell · 03/09/2020 22:30

Since discovering Tony's Chocolony it's everyday...

SantaMonicaPier · 03/09/2020 22:30

Maybe two times a week. I prefer savoury snacks

Tootsey11 · 03/09/2020 22:32

Never

Tanfastic · 03/09/2020 22:35

Once or twice a week

Tanfastic · 03/09/2020 22:36

Every day if I could get away with it 😂

pinkpetal2 · 03/09/2020 22:38

Way more than I should but as I'm getting older I'm becoming a chocolate snob. Used to love Cadbury's or galaxy now I can't stand them or get past the palm oil shite.
I do love Sainsbury's own brand chocolate or Tony's chocoloney. Amazing.

ReallySpicyCurry · 03/09/2020 22:41

God, if ate chocolate every day I'd be the size of a house unless I ate nothing else. How do you lot do it and stay slim? Not that I'm green with jealousy or anything

BigBlondeBimbo · 03/09/2020 22:43

I go for ages not eating it. We don't really buy it.

I love it though, so if there was a big bar of Belgian white chocolate, (yes, I prefer white chocolate because I have the palate of a 3 year old), for example, in my kitchen, there is every chance I would eat it all within a day Blush. But we don't tend to buy it. We don't even go down that aisle, usually because we have our young dcs with us and they'd go bananas trying to put every damn thing in the trolley!

RedRiverShore · 03/09/2020 22:44

A small piece several times a day which probably mounts up to 50-100g but if I have Lindt balls in if they have been on offer it could be more

I eat it for breakfast every day so I eat it instead of breakfast and it’s about the same calories.

If I have had a binge on it, I skip a meal.

Krazynights34 · 03/09/2020 22:45

Before I had DC maybe 3 times a year (I love crips).
After DD2 non-stop.
Weaning myself off it was harder than anything I’ve done.
Now, I’m back to thinking it’s claggy (if that’s a word) but I’ll eat it when my DH buys it (Easter/Christmas etc).
I’ve also tried to stop crisps (a few times a month) but I’m still putting on weight 😂

*I make an exception for occasional Tunnocks caramel wafers, and Matchmakers at Christmas.

..... She's living the dream ! Envy I'd be visiting her often ....
BookSkark · 03/09/2020 22:47

Almost never. Except for maybe pigging in uneaten Easter Eggs. Decided to try not to eat too much sweet stuff and now can't stand it as a result.

I accept I'm in the minority though - DD and DH both have a small bit (generally a Lindt ball or similar) every day.

EyeSeeWhatYouDidThere · 03/09/2020 22:47

Very rarely, I've been dairy free since my baby was about 6 weeks old and whilst I like dark chocolate I don't find it moreish like I used to find milk chocolate. I find most of the dairy free chocolates have a weird aftertaste (people kept buying me various ones to try). The galaxy vegan chocolate isn't too bad but again it's not moreish so I'd say probably I eat chocolate once a fortnight.

Whatthebloodyell · 03/09/2020 22:48

What flavour of Tony’s should I try? Any other GOOD chocolate recommendations?

Happymama24 · 03/09/2020 22:49

too often! 🤔
