How much chocolate/crisps/sweets did you consumer over Christmas?

    I probably consumed my body weight in chocolate, which is about 75% to blame for my weight gain during December! The bf gave me the gigantic tub of white & milk Maltesers all mixed in together, then I ate TWO Lindt chocolate Santa's (still dreaming about these), a selection box, about twenty M&S chocolate angel Xmas tree decorations, countless Roses, a box of M&S chocolate chip cookies (to die for), a packet of King crisps almost every day, a Terry's Chocolate Orange, half a giant Toblerone and God knows what else!!

    Bear in mind that this was all over the space of ten days and was on top of numerous enormous lunches and dinners. I believe I may be the piggiest of them all! ;) I'm off all crap for January to try and give the ol' digestive system a break...

    I'm after putting on over a half a stone over the Christmas. I ate all round me..... Roses, after eights, Swiss Choc, Milk Tray, Quality Streets, Celebrations, the list goes on!

    Its to the gym for me in the new year. I might love choccie and all that but I do train in TKD also!

    This is an example of sheer gluttony and greed, I know it was xmas but this is bordering on a disgusting amount of crap for one person to eat over a 2 week period.
    Are you feeling bad now and your looking for someone to wallow with?

    Its Christmas - we're allowed to indulge!

    I had about 2 million Roses chocolates and about 50 tubes of Pringles!

    I dont feel one little bit guilty - I'll just jog a little more than I usually do and I'll be fine in 2 weeks :D Will then get ready for Easter when the real choc feast begins!

    Anyway, I don't think he/she was looking for sympathy, just posting up a new forum as a means of contributing to this wonder world that ye know as the chococlate/crisps/sweets forum! besides, it was Christmas and people are naturally gonna indulge to the extreme... as I did.

    I done the pure dog on it. There were 2 of those large tin of roses (1.5kg?) and some smaller boxes. Reckon I ate the full of one tin. Plus had a lovely chocolate milka santa, large dairy milk, half a large tin of double centers (creme brulees, mmm) and other random sweets and crisps... not to metion all the deserts!! put on so much weight!! Ahh well, have 12 months to get back to where I was biggrin.gif

    Why oh why did they change the double centre sweets this year? BIG disappointment!

    Bring back the old sweets. Some of this years ones only had one filling which laughs in the face of the whole name of the sweet range.

    Gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Ho! Ho! You don't.. . dont't want to know what I had for Christmas. I was pig faced... absolutely pig faced and I'm still doing it... finishing it all off. My mind is deciding which bar to eat next or should it be Crisps (and I eat 3 packs a go). Salt 'n Vinegar and a litre of coke.... before I start the next bar. I am slightly tired of Roses. 2Kg in 2 days! Ooooh my stomach. :))) Being at work helps me to lose my appetite! Give 'er a few days... :o
