To ask how many Easter eggs have you eaten today?

Oh god.

I've had two and half Easter eggs, a creme egg and a small bag of chocolate buttons Blush

Awful I know. But I have the awful mentality that I should eat it all now rather than let it derail my healthy eating by eating bits every day. I know this is dysfunctional...I also find it hard to stop once I start.

Can anyone beat me?

Not this year :( I have covid and feel too poorly. Normally I'd have beaten you by now 😂

Figgygal · 17/04/2022 18:19

None

mogsrus · 17/04/2022 18:19

Never buy any so nothing , not really bothered

ExplodingElephants · 17/04/2022 18:20

I’ve eaten the ears off my Lindor bunny.

He looks a bit sorry for himself now.

He couldn’t even hear me apologise to him 😢

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 17/04/2022 18:22

none, but 4 hot cross bun and two slices of some sort of Easter Cake.

GetTheGoodLookingGuy · 17/04/2022 18:23

None. I have seven easter eggs (four of the £1 ones, three bigger ones) and a few small eggs from an easter egg hunt, but I have the dentist on Tuesday so I'm waiting until after that!!

seensome · 17/04/2022 18:23

None because I ate mine last week, in one go can't have any left over, it's all or nothing for me Smile

Shopgirl1 · 17/04/2022 18:24

I’ve eaten the ears off a bunny and too many chocolates. I wouldn’t eat it all this evening. Just pick over a number of days when you fancy a treat, that’s my plan, all in moderation and plenty of activity to compensate.

lugeforlife · 17/04/2022 18:24

I bought myself a pack of 3 smallish hollow eggs in Aldi - the posh mosher Roche ones. Unbeknownst to me, dh got me a big egg as well. I usually have one small thing (like the chocolate avocado they did in Waitrose) so don't know why I have more this year. I'm not even that big a choc fan.

I have eaten most of the truffles in the o r dh bought me and about a third of each of the three pack I got myself. I'll probably just add to dds pots now.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 17/04/2022 18:25

None. Not had any at all this year. Or last probably.

sayanythingelse · 17/04/2022 18:25

I've had a Wispa out of my egg. Quite surprising as I've been eating for a small army whilst I've been pregnant. I did eat a full Wilko's pick n mix yesterday though...

KilmordenCastle · 17/04/2022 18:26

None. I have a sickness bug so the only thing I have eaten today is about 4 crisps and as much water as my stomach can handle. Feeling very sorry for myself. Worst thing is 6yo dd also has the bug so she hasn't managed any chocolate either and is having a thoroughly miserable Easter Sad

PlsTryAnother · 17/04/2022 18:27

None as yet BUT I made a huuuuuge lb roast at about 2 followed by chocolate gateaux so haven't actually been able to move for a few hours. DP and teen DS have managed half an egg each somehow!

Horcruxe · 17/04/2022 18:28

Just the one today but over the last couple of weeks loads

JayAlfredPrufrock · 17/04/2022 18:28

None.

Allthegoodusernamesareused · 17/04/2022 18:28

None. I'm desperate to lose some weight so am being very strict with myself. My Dad bought me an enormous egg but I'm taking it to our family get together tomorrow for the kids to share!

JollyWilloughby · 17/04/2022 18:29

I’ve had 1 Cadbury egg, 4 small hollow ones and a couple of mini eggs.

Surely someone can beat the OP?

BronwenFrideswide · 17/04/2022 18:30

None.

AllOfUsAreDead · 17/04/2022 18:31

None, but I'm not going to admit how many I ate in the run up to Easter..

MissConductUS · 17/04/2022 18:31

None, but I have had two tiny Ghiradelli chocolate bunnies with sea salt caramel. Amazing!

SpeedofaSloth · 17/04/2022 18:33

One, plus a chocolate bar from inside the box.
Hot cross buns later Smile

Nosetickle · 17/04/2022 18:34

I’ve eaten half a very large Cadbury’s fruit and nut egg, picking at it throughout the day and I’m feeling a bit sick! I also had a slice of chocolate cake after lunch. I haven’t had chocolate over lent so I think I’m just not used to it!

VyeBrator · 17/04/2022 18:34

None. DH cooked a lovely lamb roast though.

Forgotthespuds · 17/04/2022 18:35

None yet:(. Ieft a small selection out last night before bed so my Husband could pick a few. He misunderstood the assignment & ate the lot!. I'm going to walk to the store & see what's left. Aiming for 5

Sux2buthen · 17/04/2022 18:38

My son keeps trying to make me have one of his because he's very sweet but I said no Thankyou. I couldn't really afford to grab myself any in the end but my boyfriend turned up with one for me earlier so I'm waiting for the right moment Grin

Kids have been grabbing chocolate all day I've had to put them up for now lol
