    Our house is full of chocolate eggs. And cake. And hot cross buns. And all the food for Easter lunch tomorrow...I am officially taking this weekend off and enjoying myself!

    I haven't had chocolate since Christmas so I thought if I'm going to have an egg it will be a good one. I bought a Rococo Easter egg stuffed with ganaches and I will be enjoying the lot guilt free tomorrow :smile:

    I have done the same thing, gave up chocolate and everything bad since christmas, but over the last few days i have eaten what i wanted, and to be honest, i think i would rather go back to what i was eating before. makes me realise had bad it makes me feel, sick, bloated etc.

    As a few of you have said a little chocolate in moderation or anything for that matter is so much tastier than pigging out on the lot! I've been off chocolate and biscuits and cakes and crisps since christmas. First for the countdown to my sisters wedding where I was Maid of honour, then that overlapped with lent. Lately I've been started to find myself binging or having uncontrollable cravings so I've decided to give my body a little of what it fancies rather than let it think it has to cheat by binging.

    I had 6 part of one of my easter egg bars today... a well earned blissful treat to reward my body for all its done for me lately!

    Yes I sinned :cry: I had an Easter egg, my son brought them home and gave me one of those hollow eggs, medium size, God it was nice, enjoyed every delicious bite and thought oh well Easter is only once a year!

    For me Easter Eggs have been by proxy this year - I've given my husband 3 - and as requested has bought me none. I shall feel very self righteous declining any part of his eggs. That's the plan anyway:wink:

    I didnt get any easter eggs, I would have ripped someones arm off last week for a malteaster bunny, and the machanic was at our house working on the car, when he handed me one, i looked at it and didnt know what to do, lol kiss him or eat the bunny,
    no i was sooooooooooo good i gave all sweets up for lent, so i have sat him on my bedside unit with my me to you bears,
    I am also allergic to chocolate but thats never stopped me before

    I am PROUD of myself for not eating it, and for doing 15 days solid of no junk food, fizzy juice and no sweets crisps and biscuits, :)

    So far I have been able to avoid the Easter chocolate...I live far away from most of my family and am working nights all weekend. However, mini eggs are my nemesis as well as my one true love and I have been really good an avoided buying the huge 1kg bag because I know I will just chow down......now if only everyone else would buy them all up so I don't have to look at them on sale when I go get groceries this week!

    I have had zero chocolate for 99 days.

    I now hate Easter. They are selling half price chocolate eggs in my local store. This makes me sad!


    Everyone enjoy your eggs

    I have a large family and usually get about 20 eggs, but this year I asked people not to get me any, which reduced the number I got (from people who said they'd feel guilty if they DIDN'T get me anything) to 7. Ate a full one yesterday which I feel ridiculously disgusted about because there must be LOADS of calories in there. But what else can I do? Can't just leave them!

    I have got an amazing Green and Black's dark chocolate Easter Egg it's 180g with two 100g bars in the pack, one dark chocolate and ginger, one dark chocolate and burnt toffee.

    Its staring at me form across the room, knowing how delicious it looks! I'm staring back resolutely. I have been relatively good, I skipped pancake day, I'm not skipping this. I deserve you! I just have to show restraint and eat you gradually........ Your time has come Nemesis....

    What Easter eggs have you all got? Has anyone been really good over lent and is about to let rip? Anyone deliberately obstaining from Easter?

    I give in on the holidays. But then I get back on track the next day. No leftovers in the house to call my name for days on end.

    I bought myself some Lindor mini chocolate eggs - going to try to just have a small treat - but my son is surrounded by chocolate eggs and I must admit so far I am not tempted - I saw myself on some photos yesterday from a fun fair and decided I want to look good in them rather than eat chocolate

    I have mini Lindt eggs too! I have decided that for the calories, I only want the best chocolate. Which has the added benefit of being too expensive to buy a lot of! Although I am going to hit the post easter sales tomorrow to see if I can get one more bag at a discount!

    I have still got the Lindt bunny I was given last year...
    I know if I start him I shan't be able to stop. So he is waiting for when I feel I've reached my goal. I prefer eggs with small stuff in them so I can judge how much to allow myself.
    Who knows, this time next year I might be able to eat whatever I feel like without the guilt feelings. That would be an achievement for me.
    mini lindt bunnies ftw!:love:

    I so ate two chocolate bunnies this weekend(one big and one little.. my excuse was they were already broken.. might as well eat them!) plus a chocolate lady bug, some whopper robin eggs and lord knows what else..

    Def. plan on going to the gym today and getting back into the swing of things.. but it's one day... not like anyone ever died from eating too much chocolate.
