Help me go undunked biscuit on my chocolate & cookies addiction

I am a biscuit addict. I start about 10am and it can be anything from a quick chocolate digestive (usually 4) to a couple of mars bars. Then it's it something constantly throughout the day. It's like a pick me up. I'm tired, I have young DC to get to places. I'm busy and I grab the chocolate. I do walk a lot, so I'm active but not gym/ running active.

Yesterday morning I had normal breakfast then 4 chocolate brioche buns at 10.30. Half an eater egg at lunchtime, my DD had the other half. Then half a large packet of chocolate Bourbon biscuits at 4pm . I've counted and that's actually 12 biscuits. I then had a sharing packet of Malteasers after dinner because I like them.

I'm not fat but I'm no way thin, so I can't think that this habit is doing me any good. I would look better if I lost a stone and probably feel better. I feel run down. I'm still holding weight from my last pregnancy and that was ages ago.

Can anyone relate or give me any advice. What an I eat instead ? How do I stop?

Can people have addictive personalities, because I had had addictions before, but this is the hardest one. To me it's an acceptable addiction and I'm not obese. Help

It's your hands that put things into the shopping trolley.
I can't do much about it over the internet.
Don't buy the stuff. Buy fruit instead.
Get up from the computer now and put all the chocolate and sweet stuff in a bag and put it in the rubbish.
That's the best place to start. Right now. Today. This evening.

@Seaweed42 I don't do the supermarket shop DH does. He doesn't buy things for me, but I eat his stash or the kids Shock Plus I ate half the DCs Easter egg.

Try brushing your teeth when you next get a craving.

I misread your post, I thought you said you felt it wasn't an addiction. Sorry about that. It's about boundaries and deciding what is 'my food' and when do I eat. Looks like you consider all the food in the house to be yours, and can be eaten any time of day.
