I am quite disgusted with myself. I've eaten a whole Cadbury's Easter egg this morning, as well as a creme egg. I've also had two scones with jam and cream BlushBlushBlush

How much weight am I likely to have gained from that? Please, tell me I'm not the only one and others have been gluttonous too Confused

None

Stillgoings · 04/04/2021 17:50

I've had a hot cross bun, 5 lindt lindors and a ferrero rocher. I am planning on breaking into my egg for pudding after my roast lamb.

[quote picklemewalnuts]@Nohomemadecandles you may well Grin but I'm disappointed! Chocolate risotto?! Yes please!

I'll have to experiment with chocolate rice pudding. I can do that on slimming world... and crack a Creme egg into it![/quote]
Hmmm. Not SW friendly at all but you can make one with hot chocolate powder!

I want that now...

No chocolate eggs as the eggs were all gone in the supermarket Sad.Feeling really bad for DC. Have eaten 2 chocolate brownies with ice cream as a snack though. Also eaten loads throughout the day.

mamaduckbone · 04/04/2021 17:58

About 5 mini eggs from the kids' Easter egg hunt this morning, plus a piece of chocolate refrigerator cake and a jam and cream scone this afternoon. I don't feel remotely remorseful. There will be more chocolate consumed tonight no doubt. It's Easter - we shouldn't feel constantly guilty for enjoying ourselves, IMO.

SmashedAvocado · 04/04/2021 17:58

Well i was going to have a rest day today but I’ve managed to burn around 1500 calories on a 30 min bike ride with DC, 45 mins on the cross trainer and 45 mins of free weights and floor work so I will enjoy my egg after dinner with impunity!

Sparklehead · 04/04/2021 17:58

Only 2 mini eggs when doing the Easter egg hunt with the kids. The house is full to the brim with chocolate and sweets but I’m doing the Noom diet and really want the scales to move down as I seem to have plateaued. Didn’t realise I had this level of self-control, to be honest.

FunnyWonder · 04/04/2021 18:08

Loads. But I always eat loads. It's just egg shaped today!

Caramel81 · 04/04/2021 18:13

2 hot cross buns, a wedge of chocolate cake and half of a big white Lindt egg. Next week is going to be a write off with my diet as I finish off all the choc and cakes. After that I’m going to try and be really strict with myself until summer

MrsBerthaRochester · 04/04/2021 18:21

None. Kids moaned about getting eggs and haven't touched them. Just had a chippy though and regretting it.

Stovetopespresso · 04/04/2021 18:39

2 Lindors and 2 small eggs from the hunt, some lindt egg, managed to give away other egg to in-law (dh might be cross but we're both wanting to lose and got given a huge box of hotel chocolat). -we can always steal the kids hunt stash too

Flambola · 04/04/2021 18:47

None ☹️ But only because I’m very ill.

Bearnecessity · 04/04/2021 18:57

Large bar of fruit and nut....lovely...

Bearnecessity · 04/04/2021 18:58

Sorry u r ill Flambola.....

Smarshian · 04/04/2021 18:59

4 mini eggs so far, but will probably have something else after the kids are in bed.

Treaclepie19 · 04/04/2021 19:01

Well considering I ate all the easter eggs I bought for myself over and over and then the shops sold out... much less than I'd hoped 😂😳

Cherrysoup · 04/04/2021 19:06

1 single Celebration, a Twix one. Would have been more, but the mini eggs I left in the car had obviously melted. But I’ll make up for that later, I have jellybeans and supermarket fruit and nut.

MadgeHarvyy · 04/04/2021 19:15

None but I dont really like chocolate or any sweet things. Today I have had half a bag of sugar snap peas that with some home made tapenade and two pork and caramelized onion sausages with some savoury rice and salad. Been craving sugar snap peas and other veg stuff because of the nice weather. Will have a glass of wine in a min which is prob the calorie equivalent of an easter egg lol

missbunnyrabbit · 04/04/2021 19:16

This thread is hilarious. I have eaten a big white chocolate lindt bunny, a Cadbury egg plus the bag of mini eggs with it, and a Malteser egg.

I don't consider that much at all! It's Easter! As a kid, I had about 10 full size Easter eggs every year.

I'll go back to no chocs when everything is eaten.

Horridcreature · 04/04/2021 19:21

@Flambola get well soon Flowers ready to enjoy some eggs

SchrodingersImmigrant · 04/04/2021 19:24

Problem is that lots of chocolate is frankly disgusting lately. You can taste the fat/oil in it. And bluegh at creme eggs which used to be nice. Sad times.

So luckily me not liking most chocolate and not really having sweet tooth means I can just enjoy something not so bad and just a bit😁 Finally having the weirdo taste buds pays off! Muahahhahaa

waterlego · 04/04/2021 20:08

I’ve had a very busy food day.

Bacon and egg muffins for brunch
Banana cake with choc chips
Fresh doughnut from the vendor on the beach
2 lagers in the beautiful sunshine in the garden
Takeaway fish and chips
A couple of orange smarties mini eggs

Not regretting any of it for a single moment. I teach exercise classes during the week so I’m in good shape. But even if I wasn’t, guilt and shame aren’t emotions that should ever be attached to food, IMO.

Bubblemonkey · 04/04/2021 20:46

A whole mini egg

WaltzesWithSnobs · 04/04/2021 20:47

Well its difficult to answer without exact quantities so I've had to guess a little. Two scones with jam and cream, one Easter egg (size?) and a creme egg. I'm guessing 200g for the Easter egg. That's less than 2,000 calories.

You need to consume 3,500 calories over and above your maintenance calories in order to gain 1lb (of fat) in a week so that's is, again roughly 57.4% of a pound.

delilahbucket · 04/04/2021 20:50

Two chocolates from a Hotel Chocolat selection. To be fair, we did have an Easter afternoon tea yesterday and there was a lot of cake. I bought some chocolate hot cross buns but I'm still full from tea and can't face eating anymore!
