How much chocolate daily do you eat?

[cazzz1975]

I am fighting a losing battle with my chocolate addiction (seriously!, it was easier quittting smoking!) so I am trying to eat it in a healthy manner.

how much chocolate do people on here eat daily??

[turquoise]

I'm not really a chocolate fan, i prefer crisps. I prob eat about once a month. Or even less than that. I can live without it.

[cazzz1975]

so how many packs of crisps a day would you eat? (it is comparable to chocolate)

[Pippa68]

I try and limit myself to one bar..which I know is still way oo much for me..but I refuse to deny myself such a wonderful pleasure :o)

If left to my own devices or it is that time of the month when Aunt Flo visits I might have more!

[ummmm]

None.

I eat chocolate about twice a month. I used to have a major sweet tooth when I was a kid but as I've grown it makes me feel sick.

I love haribo's though !!!

I eat it almost everyday! Some days I dont have any and then it hits me and I eat loads at once! I didn't have any all weekend and then yesterday I was at the shops and bought a medium sized Galaxy bar and ate it all.. and then I did the same today! I was healthy and had watercress soup for dinner... and then a bloomin big chocolate bar!!!! I need help!

I'm the same as ruby, I binge. If you want to eat healthier try drinking hot chocolate instead (the options ones are lovely, especially with a drop of milk in them, even though you're not supposed to), or freeze a bar of chocolate and then just eat a piece or two straight from the freezer, it'll take ages to melt and feel like you've had more. (I'd suggest breaking the bar up before freezing through). Although if you eat healthily the rest of the time there's no reason not to have a bar a day, it's all about moderation and balance!

Crisps are one of the worst things you can eat as they don't contain ANY nutrients! They are high in salt and fat and give you nothing good in return! If you eat a bag of crisps a day then at the end of the year you will have consumed 1 Gallon of oil! Yuk!

i could eat a bag at nite by myself. but since i'm trying to loose weight i find it easyer not to buy it at all.

out of sight out of mind.

You aren't alone cazzz lol I must admit i do enjoy a couple of bars a day! lol But i do so much sport, i find it doesn't make a difference to myself. If someone asked me to quit, i just couldn't :)

[Pippa68]

My dentist told me that crisps were worse for your teeth than chocolate..which made me smile as I only eat about one bag of crisps per week :o)

I rarely go a day without any chocolate, but I try not to have any more that the equivalent to one bar - e.g. a couple of taxis or 6 squares or 4 chololates. I don't eat anything else sweet though, no cakes, biscuits or puddings and i don't snack otherwise e.g very rarely have crisps. This is how I justify my addiction to myself!

To find out if you are an addict, you need to ask yourself these questions:

Are there times when you cannot function without chocolate?

Do you ever eat chocolate by yourself?

Do you hide it around the house?

Do you deny that you have eaten it?

Is your chocolate eating causing you other problems?

If you answer "yes" to 2 or more of these questions, you are addicted and should seek support from your nearest chocoholics anonymous branch.

The first step to recovery is to declare "my names XX and I'm a chocoholic".

[Pippa68]

That's me bu88ered then. I answered yes to 3 of those...

''My name is Pippa and I am a chocoholic''

I don't have a sweet tooth so rarely eat chocolate. Although if someone buys my ferrero rocher I find it hard to resist.

Crisps are my downfall. I have one packet everyday without fail, and sometimes on a bad day more than that. Walkers have cut down the saturated fat content now though so they are not AS bad as they used to be

[annie0000]

Hi Pippa - welcome to the group! - I got yes to 4 - and I am probably in denial about the other one!!

[catcuddler]

cazz have u tried low fat chocolate mousse in pots.u still get the chocolate hit but your not munching a whole bar and also if u were to have 1 morning and one night your still prob having less fat than there is in 1 bar of chocolate.i am not a huge choccy fan crisps r my weakness i could easily eat 6 bags plus if i let myself but i try 2 stick to 1 bag a day.turquoise whats ur alltime fave flavour?

[Skreecheeboy]

Choclate hurts my teeth so I don't eat much of it. We have cake in the office every other day just about, and wine every third or fourth Friday but I've decided that i can only partake in the wine if I've not got footy on Fridays as it makes me rubbish and dehydrated!

[turquoise]

Hey Cazzz, i don't eat much crisps either, i limit myself cos i know they are unhealthy, but so nice! I prob have on average about 2 a week.

[cazzz1975]

I think I am like a few of you, I binge on chocolate, I cant have just one piece :(

otherwise generally I eat quite healthily, I dont eat junk except for chocolate, I have done pretty well this week since sunday I have eaten 2 crunchies, which for me isnt bad lol!!

mind you aunty flo is due soon so I will probably be buying family bags of m&ms :s
