Personally I do but I feel it’s fine

No. Biscuits barely ever, chocolate maybe once a month. But I'm not very fond of them to start with, so I also eat them as often as I fancy having them.

Cheese is my weakness.

Snap. Could happily live in a world without chocolate or biscuits which I rarely eat and never buy but could not survive in a cheeseless world

No, hardly ever

EmeraldShamrock000 · 04/10/2025 22:01

Yes, every day.
1 bar or a packet of crisp.
It's food. 😋

DoodleLug · 04/10/2025 22:08

Yes, more than one.

I think it's very common now to have some form of dessert after meals - a yoghurt or fruit or biscuit /cake /chocolate.

I don't over indulge because I try not to eat too much crap. Unlikely I'd eat a whole mars bar or similar.

I know plenty of people who eat 2 or 3 bars a day plus crisps (observed at work). It's not healthy but it is 'normal'.

Yes everyday. And possibly (probably) a cake too.

Me too, always have , so it’s hard to break the habit

And cake is great right? Just looking at a recipe for Parkin 🙂

No, I try not to have any sweet treats in the house so I have to leave the house if I want something and seeing it in the cupboard doesn’t encourage me to mindlessly eat it. Eating sugar makes me feel ill afterwards.

Yep. And crisps. I'm a healthy weight, no deficiencies (had recent blood tests for PCOS), and do 20k steps a day on average.

@thisishowloween20k steps is impressive. Is this part of a commute or something else?

GustavMunchkin · 05/10/2025 06:52

Only if I could stop myself from eating the whole packet! I’m always in awe of pple who can keep biscuits etc in the house. They literally call out to me & don’t stop until they’re gone. Ho hum.

ACynicalDad · 05/10/2025 06:53

Not a chance, often a couple of weeks go by without touching either.

AhBiscuits · 05/10/2025 06:55

Not since the jabs.
I might have a biscuit when MIL offers when we visit, but I'm out of the habit of any kind of snacking on an average day.

secureyourbook · 05/10/2025 06:56

Yes but I try to stick to some pieces of dark chocolate so I’m not scoffing too much junk.

EatMoreChocolate44 · 05/10/2025 06:58

Yes I eat chocolate multiple times a day and usually a wee bag of crisps too. It's a bad habit. I'm not particularly overweight and I do exercise 3 times a wk but I know I need to cut down. If I was dieting I would eat one biscuit a day. To me that's healthy. 😂 But honestly life is hard enough. If you can't have a little chocolate a day then what's the point. We need a little joy in our lives. 😂 Maybe it's because I'm a primary school teacher. I need to reward myself at various points through our the day. 😂

I lost two stone a few years ago and during the weight loss phase I ate something sweet every day...I would buy the mini kinder bars or macarons or something small like that.

I'm now on wli so I do now have days where I don't eat anything sweet...but I often do.

It doesn't necessarily derail weight loss. A mini mars bar may well be less calories than a banana...yeah yeah I know a banana will keep you fuller and provide better nutrition but personally I'm the kind of person who can't cut an entire type of food out my diet. If I did I would actually end up binging on it and it would be worse

Comedycook · 05/10/2025 07:01

And I will never forget the post I once read on here where a woman said that she found fruit so sweet she could only bear to eat a single piece once every few months....

TwinklyNight · 05/10/2025 07:42

Not anymore, but my dh does.

PruthePrune · 05/10/2025 07:47

I used to have chocolate/biscuits/cake etc daily. I weighed just under 11 stone, am 8 stone 12 now since I've cut them out. To satisfy any sweet craving I have honey with yogurt and put it in my tea.

Dominey · 05/10/2025 07:49

Yes easily one a day if not more. I am not overweight and 80% of my diet is very healthy and nutritious so I have no plans to stop. I love baking and there’s nothing better than a salad for lunch which then leaves room for a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake. I also enjoy a glass of wine with certain meals - red with red meat, white with fish etc. I get such huge pleasure from food and drink and I am able to moderate easily.

FlyingUnicornWings · 05/10/2025 07:49

Current daily biccie is bourbon. Eat the top biscuit, lick the chocolate cream off, eat the bottom biscuit.

Lovely.

Twinmum345 · 05/10/2025 07:51

No absolutely not

Crisps, rarely

Chocolate bar, once in a blue moon eg when hillwalking

1 or 2 biscuits, or 2 squares dark chocolate, most days

But I exercise regularly, overall diet is healthy and not overweight

Yes it would be better to have no biscuits at all ever, but that would be a dull life

lljkk · 05/10/2025 07:58

Several times every day.
Am not fat, but my teeth could be better.

Superhansrantowindsor · 05/10/2025 08:01

I have a chocolate wafer biscuit or penguin every day. I am fat. I wish I had more willpower.

Whoevenarethey · 05/10/2025 08:02

Yes which is why I am heavier than I should be.
