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?

Oh I eat WAY more than 1000 calories a day! I’m a power lifter though so it’s mostly protein. When I eat sweets or chocolate I burn out or feel like I’m going to shit myself when I take my pre workout and start training 🤣 (very real fear)

Just half a Galaxy egg. I have the other half, plus some Galaxy mini eggs, some Baileys chocolates and a Lindt bunny left. I can't eat loads of chocolate all at once so it'll last me week or two.

I did however demolish a massive plate of roast dinner at lunch Grin

RampantIvy · 17/04/2022 19:44

None, but I have eaten an entire packet of Randoms Grin
I can take or leave chocolate, but chewy, fruity sweets are another matter.

CandyLeBonBon · 17/04/2022 19:45

Big ones or small ones

Blossomtoes · 17/04/2022 19:45

None. There’s a Lindt bunny calling my name though.

Svara · 17/04/2022 19:49

None. I only like very dark chocolate and can't afford to pay £15/20 for an egg. I do go through two bars a week.

Ohmygoshyoudontsay · 17/04/2022 19:50

I've eaten my easter egg but not its contents.

DelilahBucket · 17/04/2022 19:53

None. DH and I split one midweek. I did make butterfly buns yesterday to use up some jam though and I've had one of those and when I can be bothered to move I'll be having more. They need eating today of course.

SallyWD · 17/04/2022 19:53

None. I haven't had an Easter egg since I was a teenager. OK, I know that sounds smug.

NETSRIK · 17/04/2022 19:54

None. Shit loads of wine though.

Gliblet · 17/04/2022 19:54

Half a large-ish Maltesers egg, but we've had a LOT of indulgent crap treats over the last few days so that sort of pushed me over the edge. Turned the planned roast chicken dinner into hot and sour soup for a quick fix of something fresh and will mount another assault on the Easter chocolate tomorrow.

PurpleDaisies · 17/04/2022 19:55

One little one but it was on top of a big slice of chocolate cake

tinytemper66 · 17/04/2022 19:55

None

thebear1 · 17/04/2022 19:57

No eggs because I didn't get any but have had half a bar of M&S chocolate with mini eggs in it.

TracyMosby · 17/04/2022 19:58

Half. We dont do the stacks and stacks of easter egg thing. The children got one each from us and one each from grandparents. Thats it. Me and dh got one each and then my ds bought us one each.

We do, however, do gifts for the children as well as an egg.

MargaritasOnMe · 17/04/2022 19:59

One and a slice of cake. Once the dc are asleep I fully intend on having another though, and maybe a gin (or, indeed, a margarita!) Grin

Jennywren1975 · 17/04/2022 19:59

None.
Didn't buy any and didn't want any.

Giraffesandbottoms · 17/04/2022 20:02

That implies you think it’s somehow good to not eat Easter eggs! I disagree! I’m feeling very smug about all the eggs I’ve eaten 😃

Rosebel · 17/04/2022 20:03

I've had 2 creame eggs and will probably have more later but we're having roast lamb in a minute so hopefully will be too full after for more chocolate. Kids have been rather restrained too, only having a creame egg for breakfast.

SmellyOldOwls · 17/04/2022 20:07

I ate one small buttons one that someone gave my baby, there's a mountain of chocolate in the house but I don't fancy any more which isn't like me but then we had a huge roast beef dinner earlier and I'm still quite full from that.

Wafflehouse · 17/04/2022 20:08

I’ve had one mini egg that the one of the dcs offered me but that’s it. I got an egg from dp but it looks too fancy to break into and one from mil but that’s a chocolate orange one and I don’t like them so dp can have it.

I have eaten loads of simnel cake this weekend though.

TheGetaway · 17/04/2022 20:09

None, and until I saw this thread it never crossed my mind that I would

Patchbatch · 17/04/2022 20:09

None, but only as I have a blocked nose and feels a waste whilst I can't eat!

jode19 · 17/04/2022 20:10

0, I didn't get any Sad

Sofiegiraffe · 17/04/2022 20:11

None. But I have eaten chicken curry and chocolate brownie, and I'm currently drinking Prosecco. If that makes you feel any better? Grin
