Reese's peanut butter eggs

Cadbury is made by Hershey's here. Big difference. It has something to do with a lawsuit.0

They ARE better! I swear to God, it's a different chocolate/peanut butter ratio or something, but ALL the seasonal ones taste WAY better! They are the biggest temptation for me. And they are constantly around- pumpkins, trees, hearts, eggs! I can't escape them!!0

I think this thread is great because a lot of people think "going on a diet" means never having sweet treats again. It took a lot of those "IIFYM" type threads for me to finally believe that it's okay to fit in goodies. Now, I am really happy and slowly, steadily losing. Last night I had a Doubletree cookie, but during the day I had a kale/banana smoothie for breakfast, yummy vegetable soup for lunch and steamed shrimp/chicken/ veggies for dinner. It all fit in my macros and calories. DH was like, but "aren't you on a diet?" Nope. Never again. Just eating at a reasonable deficit.0

I knew I forgot to buy something at the store this morning...0

...but "aren't you on a diet?" Nope. Never again. Just eating at a reasonable deficit.
No doubt! "Diet" implies a time restriction. I'm looking for sustainable life changes - and eliminating happiness a/k/a chocolate is not in the cards for me. Not to mention ... hey, I ran six miles today. I think I earned some chocolate, if I really want it. (I don't happen to want any today ... or most days ... because I've removed the *need* for it. BUT when I want it, you'd better believe I'm going to help myself.)

I hope I was not demonising chocolate or dampening the excitement surrounding our love for yummy snacks. I just think we devote a bit more time and focus to the "foods" which actually do contribute to obesity which tend to be a function of sugar and/or trans-fatty ingredients. I don't notice the same hype for the healthy stuff...at least not in my experience. Not trying to sound like a zealot. I just want to get this food-life balance right for the first time in over 5 decades and the snacky foods have been my achilles heel. Perhaps I am lone voice in the wilderness. Enjoy your eggs and chocolate and have some for me.

Nah ... you probably won't see that hype over an apple.
BUT - at least for me - the hype is a little put-on. All that oooohing and ahhhhing, but I probably won't actually eat one this season because it's such a temporary happy indulgence - and I'm in the middle of a serious push this year to take this extra stress off my knees. And if I get a taste for them, I will buy them by the six-pack and keep them in my desk drawer. It's a problem.
I think the backlash - at least from my perspective - is about the suggestion that we couldn't/shouldn't if we wanted to. We can. You can. The balance we're seeking is at least partially about personal control and quality of life. There's nothing inherently wrong with eating a Reese's peanut butter cup on occasion, as long as the rest is in balance.0 -
Probably because a Reese cup is way better than an apple. We do have a bunch of threads about Greek yogurt too though...
Anyway, I blame this thread for having some chocolate peanut butter oatmeal this morning (although I cheated and used PB2).0 -

Nah, you'll find me in threads extolling the greatness of Greek yogurt and its amazing versatility to pump up our protein intake. Or using cauliflower as a thickening in soup instead of using a roux, and blending other veggies to increase the nutritional content in stews and chilis). Oh, and my intense love for all things legume/beans (mmm, they truly are the magical fruit!).
But alas, this thread is about our love of choc/PB eggs. And will honor and praise this perfect treat, and indulge (very modestly) in them for the short season in which they are available. And yes, balance is SO important. That's how most of us operate (I see a lot of that here in this thread)--we work our butts off to get our nutritious foods eaten within goal, so as to have a bit of room once in a while for this treat.
And this treat is perfect--we can buy SINGLES of them (that's important for me--I'm a former/recovered binger--NO bags of candy in my house plz), yet the singles still seem like an indulgent size.0 -

Where can you get singles of them? Sounds like what I need, lol.0 -

Walmart has a big "bin" of the singles (right in front of the checkout, hence my impulse purchase, lol. Walmart's so smart). I think they're 68 cents or so. Otherwise, my husband found the Reese's hearts in singles at a local C-store/gas station.0 -

Oh, yes, definitely check Walgreens. Actually, that's my hookup for the dark chocolate, coconut fluff filled eggs (Russell Stover, YUMMM). Gotta stop by there this week.

Wow, you are all so mindful of keeping the perfect balance and demonstrate such accurate self control. You even give yourself the luxury of sarcasm and defensiveness. I'm sure you will never escalate again and ruin what you have worked so hard to achieve! I'm sure of that. Enjoy your sugar. It's only once in a while.

Someone flagged my comment as "abuse". Really? I don't get it. I am curious about the extent to which individuals such as ourselves are clearly committed to healthy life-style choices and weight loss management and at the same time, focus so deeply on the very foods that can become problematic. I raise this and I either get ignored or pacified. But none has the courage to admit that there just might be a hint of an issue at some level. Who here is still not at their ideal goal? Any ideas why?
Can we have a friendly discussion or am I going to get the worshipping yogurt response again?
