I eat chocolate every night, it’s all I’ve ever known

[Ifonlyiknewwhat]

ive had chocolate every night after dinner since I can remember, my parents always gave me a choc bar each night. I still do this now in my 30s and can’t have an evening without. Anyone else do this in their household?

Haha I do this. Although these days I mostly have ice cream (with chocolate in it) but it is pretty much without fail every night. I think my mum used to do something similar, and we always had a snack or a treat ("supper") after dinner/before bed when we were kids.

Never did me any harm. I'm healthy, active and slim and I don't even have any cavities in my teeth. 😁

Yes my family have a chocolate bar (or something sweet like ice cream) after dinner every night

Oooh yes this one is really good too. Also this buttermilk brand (bizarrely it is vegan despite the name).

😳

It's just the name of a type of pot, I don't know if they were used for ginger in the past, I got mine from Next sale for about £15 so it's not antique or anything, a large pottery vase type pot with a lid, it's about 40cm tall

Yeah I eat chocolate every night, it's my treat :-)

BMI of 21 and I run 3 - 7k every morning. All that to say chocolate gets a bad rep in terms of weight. Calories in calories out it's that simple.

Some of the most overweight people I know are on so-called low carb diets or go on and on about sugar being the devil. We need carbs in our diets, and sugar. They're body and brain fuel :-)

Can someone please tell me the secret to just eating 'a few' chocolate buttons, and leaving the rest in the pack? I have zero willpower 🙊

What brands have you tried? Some is really horrible vegetable oil tasting stuff but some is lovely and creamy.

Not always chocolate but definitely something sweet. Normal weight and super fit, I work out a lot so I think I deserve a sweet treat!

I only have a craving for chocolate specifically just before my period. But I do eat something sweet everyday after dinner, a biscuit, bit of cake, ice-cream, and sometimes a couple of squares of chocolate. I'm more of a savoury person though with snacks.

My mother used to stuff a bar of Dairy Milk down the side of her armchair,break off squares and slide them very slowly up her side,turning her head a fraction at the last second to pop them in her mouth.

All to avoid sharing it with my father.

I do routinely have something with my afternoon cup of tea - a Tunnocks’s wafer or a snack size chunky kitkat. I really shouldn’t.

Ooooh, Tunnocks! The tea cakes are the bomb

Treats are important. What's wrong with having a chocolate bar as pudding?

But this triggered a memory. I had an ex boyfriend who had a habit (from his parents) of eating a bowl of cereal in the morning and then immediately eating nearly a whole packet of custard creams 😂 every single day. It was so strange to me.

Yes they are!

I hear ya! I’m on a resistance training programme but STILL eat chocolate every night, it’s fine and it keeps me balanced 😅

Yep chocolate for me every day after my evening meal
Used to worry about the weight side of things, but I'm terminally ill, so gonna enough the chocolate when I can

Habitual in our house too. Not always a chocolate bar, sometimes a pudding or a sweet treat. Even when I've dieted and lost weight in the past, it's remained for me. I'd just eat well all day and then would have like a fun size chocolate bar supposed to a full sized one.

Do you think it's an issue?

I have a bar of choc every night too. And crisps, sweets, nuts, tbh I inhale whatever I can! I barely eat all day so at night time I’m like a rabid dog

I never knew this was a thing! I feel left out. I don’t have chocolate very often - I like it if someone gives me a box for a present or something, but it’s not something I buy myself. My vice is Haribo though - once the bag is open I pretty much demolish it. That’s why I only buy it as a rare treat.

Not every night here (for no other reason than I run out). But we often have a ‘tasty bite’ (my Mum called them this) with our evening cuppa about 7.30pm.
I’m talking a mini roll or a couple of jaffa cakes or wee bar of chocolate. We do tend to go for mini choc ices in the summer though. It’s one of lifes little pleasures.

Two custard creams before bedtime for me. Since I was about three, so for 60 years.

Dh and I both do, we like the M&S buckets of brownies/rockie road etc and usually share one in the evening. We're both in the gym as often as possible so we don't worry about it! Life's too short to not.

My family was very different, we rarely had sweet treats.

I don’t but I am trying to.

My upbringing was very restrictive with food and it feels wrong eating treats every day but it’s a really unhealthy way to be and it’s then hard to not binge when I do have treats.

My goal is to have a pudding after tea every day but I’ve not managed it yet.
