I would like to confess I have scoffed a box of 18 creme eggs

Thats a good one meanmum. a whole new perspective...

I frequently make Delia's goat's cheese, potato and thyme bread (serves 6) and eat the lot within an hour. Don't feel guilty - it tastes too good for guilt

Three M&S chocolate tea cakes. Didn't have any more 'cos they were the last although I believe that dh has hidden some chocolate mini-rolls somewhere. Have to mention in my defence that I am 34 wks pregnant.

Soupdragon, do you mean the uncooked dough? Or cut into shapes then frozen? Or cooked then frozen? Sorry I'm being thick. Sounds very virtuous!

I am a great secret chocolate scoffer and open packets may as well be empty packets in my house.
I used to beleive my Dad who told me yo had to drink a bottle of whisky after you opened it otherwise it would evaporate!! (he's not an alcoholic, honest!!)

Susanita - I can eat the whole tray - as they come in a 2 trays for 99p packet, DH eats the other tray.

Whilst pregnant I regularly ate a whole tub of Ben and Jerrys Cherry Garcia for my lunch.

Oxocube...I am a Goats cheese addict and as for potato bread...yum yum!

Can I have that receipe...what Delia book is it in, I have some but thats not in it?

Thanks.

florenceuk, the uncooked dough. It freezes beautifully.

God, I feel like a hideous fat pig after reading all this - you are all quite restrained in the stuff-your-face-til-you-pop stakes aren't you? My menu so far today reads like this :
Huge bacon toastie - brekky
6 digestive biscuits - elevenses
Steak slice and bag of crisps - lunch
Half a bowl of cake mix whilst making fairy cakes - afternoon snack
7 finished iced fairy cakes - proper afternoon snack
and for tea dh is going to the chippie as we are going out early (to see Fame Academy Live - how sad are we?) so it will be marvellous fattening fish n chips for tea.
I won't start on supper because some of you out there will faint.
And I was a size 10 when I got pregnant.
And this is my second so it will be 10 times harder to shift the excess half a tonne afterwards.
I am having a lovely time though!

HAHAHAHA just at the title of this thread!

BOGOFs and 3 for 2's used to get me with the chocolate. If it was on offer I bought to take advantage and would consume the additional bars, hiding the wrappers at the bottom of the dustbin and then openly eat the one that I had intended buying, keeping the guilty secret to myself. I have been known to eat a pack of 3 mars bars or 2 large bars of chocolate in this way in one day.

I can't get away with it now, but I used to help the kids eat their christmas/easter chocs too.

Or hit the post christmas/easter sales for the 1/2 price goodies and trough the lot before anyone else got home.

oink oink!

I ate a whole, large bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk with biscuit pieces, on Tuesday.
My excuse was, that I hadn't tried it yet, and I couldn't find a small bar !!!

Am appalled by the restraint some of you show.
I am perfectly 'unrestrained' when it comes to chocolate/all things sweet and just have to be grateful that we live in a tiny village so if there's nothing in the house then acquiring chocolate means a 20 minute round trip. This IS an advantage, honestly, as otherwise I'd be the size of a house. Have just eaten one of dd's Easter eggs just minutes ago ( yes a proper big one not a cream egg) despite
a) it being dd's
b) it not being Easter for another week.
Giving up indulgences for Lent is not a concept that I've ever really got to grips with....

I'm always amazed how some people can show so much restraint around chocolate and sweets. How does someone eat a few squares, and then put the packet back in the fridge??? If I have a bar opened, I have to eat the lot, no matter how big it is. I realised recently (other than the fact that I have put on nearly 2 stone in 10 months) that I had a problem because I would never actually sit and savour the treat, but eat it quickly, and so it didn't ever really register with my brain. Consequently, I immediately wanted another one

Edgarcat, I recently ate three Rolo eggs in the space of about ten minutes, so two a day is nothing! I have a box of sweets that I hid from my dh. In fact, I recently saw an article on morning tv where there were 5 pointers as to whether you had an eating disorder, and I had to say yes to 4 of them One was eating secretly. The only one I said no to was the one about making yourself sick after eating.

Chinchilla, I think I could become an eating disorder statistic too (except for making myself sick - I don't do that). I binge on sweet stuff, I eat it if I'm bored or down, I get irritable and twitchy if I can't get it, I hide the evidence. Hormones certainly play a huge part in my cravings. I have got to say though, that since I went dairy free and stopped drinking tea (didn't like it with soya milk) my cravings have diminished quite a lot and I am nowhere near as bad as I used to be. However, when the postman brought me 3 x 100g bars of Kinnerton dairy free chocolate (free samples) my eyes lit up and I started secretly plotting how I could keep them for myself and not have to share with the rest of the family, so I'm not totally cured.

I was told I had an intolerence to cocoa about 3 months ago (life is cruel) and I gave up chocolate over night! But boy am I going to have the BIGGEST Easter egg I can find next weekend!

Like spacemonkey, I laughed just reading the title of this!!!

Too much restraint here!

I am shocked that I can now happily manage an entire tube of Pringles in one evening. As for creme eggs well, a pack of six in an evening wouldn't be too difficult. I am trying to cut down though!

I ate chicken tikka and a plateful of lamb pasanda with half a naan bread for breakfast this morning (8.15 am) - remnants from last night's take-away. Felt a bit sick by 10 o'clock though!

My excuse is that we don't have ice cream bars in the house usually...
Last Sunday I had 5 chocolate ice cream bars. Pretty bad, I know. Even worse, during the second, my front crown (ie entire tooth) broke off. I was more careful with the next 3.

Yummy Oxocube! Can I come to your house for breakfast? I have just eaten three Soleros and a bar of Green & Blacks organic chocolate. I think I should be joining the diet thread. (The excuse for the Soleros is that I have had a sore throat for days and they are the only things that are soothing it).
