    I always give it away. It's a waste to throw it out. And I will keep a small box for myself to treat myself. No more than one or two a day. It's amazing how long a box of chocolates can last when rationed!

    I'm actually really sad that no one bought me chocolate for Christmas, or the chocolate Bailey's I asked for. In fact, no one's bought me chocolate since I started losing weight. I'm so disappointed, I'm ordering some discounted artisan chocolates online for myself.

    I got a big bottle of Bailey's which I love but it's so caloric I can't have it often or in any kind of quantity so it's just going to go off. I'm just going to leave it in the fridge with a post it note telling my flatmates to have as much as they want.
    You might be surprised how long it lasts without going off (ie way past its best before date).

    I got two boxes of chocolates as presents, there's a tub of chocolate already in the house plus another tub yet to opened. I convinced my mum we don't need to open that other tub that we can save it for later. . I opened both my present boxes of chocolates trying to eat them in moderation just a few a day. I just remembered there's still another box which I'll be receiving from my auntie. All my aunties an uncles bought me chocolate apart from one. I was planning to keep them for later I'd rather just finish them an get back on track. I usually give up chocolate while I'm being healthy. I won't be opening any new boxes there's also still a chocolate biscuits box opened. I have 5 or 6 boxes of chocolate including the chocolate biscuits box.

    I received stuff like that as well. I gave some away, ate some (hehe) and kept the stuff I know I can pace myself on.

    Eat it, depending on the quality. If it's so-so chocolate, I'll take it to work or let the hubs do so. If it's the good stuff, we'll keep it and eat it in moderation.

    Hell, I'm eating my chocolates. They're the one thing that keeps me from getting stabby.

    My boyfriend's mother gave me some candy bars in my stocking and I remedied this by eating most of them in the past two days lol. I feel better eating junk right off the bat then I have nothing to tempt me anymore. I've managed to stay under my calories, too so that's cool.

    My family were amazing and bought me a mini box of really posh chocolates (4 in total, all eaten on the day) but the neighbors bought munchkin a massive box of celebrations. Cannot throw them out. Need to get a grip of myself!
    I am thinking of getting him to pick out the ones he likes best and encourage him to donate the rest to others.
    Wouldn't be a problem if the damn gym was open... grrrrrrrr

    I got 4 boxes of chocolates for Christmas and I'm not really all that keen on the stuff give me a slice of cheese any day instead. I am still eating the ones from my birthday one every so often and it's fine. However don't ever open a packet of potatoe crisps near me it's dangerous:D

    I'm also bad about feeling that I need to eat it all now to get it out of the house. I know that doesn't make sense. So far I've done okay by indulging all I wanted on Christmas Day and then sending it to friends, to work with my husband, and some in the fridge out of sight. If I don't see it constantly it helps.

    Between the three of us in the household, we got a lot of chocolate for Christmas. We're working our way through them (in moderation obviously) but any that's left soon will be taken into work. My work colleagues always appreciate free chocolates.
