Light hearted, (obviously.) Stuck indoors, feeling fed up and I'm eyeing up the tub of chocolates I got really cheaply after Christmas. Grin Should I indulge myself or show restraint?

Eat ALL the chocolate 😃

Having eaten two family bags of wine gums during isolation I would say go for it Grin

Do you have trousers that fit comfortably and can you easily replace the chocolates to eat again if you're stuck in for a fortnight? If yes and yes, get on it.

I had to isolate for almost 8 consecutive weeks before Xmas. I've come out the other end of it a stone heavier but with no regrets!

SlayDuggee · 09/01/2021 15:11

Eat all the chocolate and order a takeaway (leave at your door) this evening!

As long as you're not diabetic dive right in. If you are diabetic it's probably best to ration them out to keep your sugar levels stable... Wink

Obvs not even slightly unreasonable. Positively encouraged.

I sacked off the diet on Thursday when I started to isolate. I have now tested negative (yay) but I now have an ear infection as an excuse Grin

SapphireSeptember · 09/01/2021 17:48

Oh well, as you're all encouraging me I shall. Grin I don't wear trousers, I prefer skirts, and I have a few with elasticated waists, so I'll be fine. Smile

Enjoy! Later I may well have a fuck tonne of wine. It’s been a long week. Grin

I had a week at home on annual leave, then dd tested positive so we isolated, then I tested positive so we isolated.
I put a stone onBlush An iceland online shop was purely cakes, sweets , biscuits and cheese. The mil dropped off a bag of chocolate the same day.
Four weeks stuck in though. Four long weeks.

It's your duty to do an experiment re the affect of chocolate on your recovery. If you won't eat it for yourself, eat it for science!

SapphireSeptember · 10/01/2021 01:21

Lol, that I can do. It's for science, she says, as she munches her way through all the chocolates. Next I'll make a start on the cookies...
