I dunno if this is going to sound completely mental but I'm worried about opening my advent calendar tomorrow, any time I have something sweet I start some sort of feeding frenzy ... hungry hippos eat your heart out.... seriously.

Before anyone says it... I'm not going to throw it away/not eat it.... it's milkybar and I hate to say it but I would sell my first born for a human sized bar of it haha

Is anyone else going through a similar thing? x

    I can't tell you how much I miss English sweets!!!!! Especially cadbury whole nut! And maltesers...........oh the list goes on and on. Mincemeat tarts and mulled wine were always my downfall at this time of year!

    I hear ya on the advent calendar.....I just bought one too, but I'm going to keep it. Plus, my husband can help me eat it too! :)

    eat your milkybar, enjoy it and then go brush your teeth to get the taste out of your mouth and then go take a long walk away from all the goodies...maybe that will help you not to binge...

    If not, go run about 10 miles and earn it thru exercise:laugh:

    Keep it for a special treat at the end of the night, brush your teeth and go to bed right after. You can't continue snacking if you're sleeping! I've been known to go to bed at 8:45 to avoid a sweet craving, LOL. Best part of those nights is that I wake up naturally at 5 the next morning totally refreshed and hit the elliptical for that extra hour that I would have been otherwise sleeping.
