ETA: you absolutely could help yourself. You made a choice, it didn't accidentally fall in your mouth.
You have got nothing better to do then have a rant and put negative comments on posts you would be pissed if someone ate your chocolate bar you need to chill out and live a little..😂
Thank you for your guidance
Chill enough for ya? And yes it does bug me when people eat my food and treats willy-nilly. I treat myself very rarely these days with food, so yeah I'd be a little miffed that something I'd saved was snapped up by someone else. And I hate the "I couldn't help myself" excuse *shrug*
I tend to have the same reaction to those sort of statements too.
I'm a big believer in taking responsibility and accountability. You can't change what you don't control so saying (or worse believing) things like "I couldn't help myself" and "X person is sabotaging me" come across to me as little more than someone trying to appease their guilt at doing something they know they shouldn't have or regret.
I mean if someone offers me a piece of cake or even cajoles, coaxes and entice me with cake and I eat it then it's obviously because they're trying to sabotage me and not because I decided to do it. It's not my fault it's theirs, I couldn't help myself.
The problem with this is, as I stated above, you can only change things that you control and take responsibility for, so while ceding blame may yield short term relief it robs you of the power to do something about it.
NB: I read the original post in a far more 'lighthearted' tone rather than 'woe is me'. This is just in response to the perils of giving other people (and places and situations, etc) power over your autonomy and self determination.8 -
You could help yourself, but you replaced it and no one was ticked off, so as long as it fits your daily calorie goal, I hope you enjoyed it. I love those things, but they're forbidden to me since I've had to watch my sugar intake for a medical condition. I have to eat the mini eggs and then work out to burn off the sugar.

Unlikely you burned 400 cals above NEAT in a 40 minute "jog".9 -
I'm sure your sis wouldn't mind. Do you love her enough to give her your last rolo though? Ha ha! I get the feeling this thread is being taken a bit too seriously. Whats wrong with having the odd treat, even if it was your sisters. Share and share alike hey.1

It's interesting to see how different family dynamics are on an issue like this one.
In our family, if any of us bring home a treat, it belongs to them. And if they haven't offered to share, it's courteous to ask and not just assume you can have some, especially if you doing so means you've polished it off.
There are occasional treats (like a box of donuts) that are purchased with the intent of sharing. But if my daughter or husband brought home a chocolate bar, for example, I would never have some without asking them first. And neither would they.

Lol you’re only preparing your sister, from what her future spouse will do.
😂😂😂 just replace it, with two bars 😉5 -
Chocolate is life 💜3

I took this to be a little light hearted thread, not some discussion about the morals of eating someone elses chocolate.11 -
1. Forgive yourself
2. Log it
3. Buy another one for your sister--AND beg for leniency!!
4. Move on!!4 -
We literally just had it out in my house over people "stealing" the good apples. The boy was upset that the girl removed them from our fridge and took them to hers (she lives in the basement apartment). My daughter was upset that that he invaded her space to take them back. Simple answer...I will go buy more apples today and I will get lots.
These dynamics are never really about the apples😉

Scum of the earth for eating someone else's food 2

I'm new so I KNOW I ought to go lightly but this was SAD. No wonder you all have a food problem, you take something cheeky and make a big deal out of it! Chill, people and maybe get het up over s/thing meaningful. jacobprice7829, well done with the exercise, s/times s/thing naughty is psychologically good for us in the short term ESPESH when you exercised so well.7

He never said he "couldn't help himself." You were the one who said that.

ETA: My app closed as I was trying to add to my post 🙄
My boyfriend and I pretty much have a "what's yours is mine" approach. I rarely indulge in his snacks, but never take the last one. He'll always have mine(which is fine, it would probably take me forever to have it all). But he also surprises me with my favorite truffles, and never takes any of them unless I offer them to him, or brings me one if he wants one. I guess he knows how I am about my truffles. Haha.
I do get miffed when my cousins visit. They take anything without asking, and my aunt is an unapproachable *kitten* when you mention it. I do have to hide certain snacks, because they truly will take anything. No manners whatsoever (walk into the house straight to the fridge) and get fussy if you ever tell them no... I don't mind sharing with anyone, but at least ask because you are NOT in your house. And they just "pop in" whenever... I could go on and on...6 -

Get two or more so you do not have to "borrow" next time.
I eat a ton of Baker's brand chocolate daily but it contains no added sweeteners.0 -
