Guilty secret

ooh. Ouch. Bad luck annodomini.

I thought my Lidl's chocolate would be safe from me in the freezer. But... it wasn't and that's how I broke a pre-molar on a square of frozen chocolate and will now have a sizeable dentist's bill.

I despair of all you chocaholics...

I don't even like it that much Ana! It's just... there!

He obviously doesn't love Galaxy as much as you do, hummingbird!

It's fatal to have chocolate in the house! I bought Mr H a big bar of Galaxy for Christmas, which he loves. He didn't eat it, so over a few weeks and after much nibbling, a square at a time, I polished it off. Feeling guilty, I bought him another big bar to replace it. He hasn't eaten it, so after much nibbling, a square at a time....

Katek I really do forget about the chocolate, I've got some very sneeky hiding places!
So, it can be weeks before I discover it!

Greyduster I love the way your DH marks the booze and chocs - gave me a good laugh.

Same as rosesarered.
I hide chocs from DH for his own benefit.
I also hide things like icecream in my own freezer, from myself.
At times I just dont buy any of it.

I can't hide anything anywhere on the premises from DH - so I now don't bother trying to. The scotch is in the cupboard with the saucepans (very handy for me) and the chocolate is in the room with the laptops/phones/books etc.- again, very handy for me. I decided at the grand old age of 64 (now 65) to do away with deceit and come out of the closet. Yes - I like whisky, wine and chocolate/sweets - I will have them - too many other things I liked in life have been relegated to the "past it" bin i.e. not healthy, not at your age etc. etc. - I won't go into specifics but leave it to your imagination - so decided to brave it and am clinging on to these last two pleasures out in the open. Am supported in this by two out of our three children!!!!

White just eat what you want and buy a new box, then no one is the wiser and you get to eat the chocs

Yes,but you can add water to the scotch. With chocolate once it's gone it's gone.

How can anyone hide chocolate and, knowing that it's there, not eat it ? My whole being would just focus on the fact that there is chocolate in the house that HAS to be eaten.

Lona....that's priceless!!!

My DH loves white chocolate and I am not keen, so every week, he buys a bar of white and one of milk. I have always eaten mine well before he eats his and, recently, I got desperate and had a couple of squares of his. The other day I noticed he has marked the packet! I said I thought one only did that with the scotch. He said he was marking the scotch bottle as well!

AshTree* "Go on, finish the box" How deceitful you are.

I live alone and I still hide chocolate!
Sometimes I forget and when I eventually find it, it's a lovely surprise

I am a very sad person.

Oh Nellie the aldi chocolate is divine. And so very reasonably priced that the calorie content must reasonable too especially if you scarf it down when nobody is looking

Shhh! I bought a pack of Aldi's Moser Roth dark chocolate with a plum and cinnamon fondant on Friday. I have nearly finished the lot myself. I am a very greedy person. Yes! I am going upstairs to get the last of it to destroy the evidence.

Surreptitious chocolate eating can be dangerous! I think I mentioned on another thread that I nearly choked when DS2 was in her pram. I had a sneaky square of Dairy Milk so she didn't see it, inhaled instead of swallowed and was left hanging over the pram handle whooping and choking! V scary episode!

My grandchildren always know.
"What happened to that mint chocolate you had last time, Granny?"
"I must have eaten it."
Always said in front of their superslim parents.

Ana the reason we keep this sort of behaviour from our DHs is because if nobody sees you eating chocolate, the calories don't count.

DH wouldn't say anything but I was made to feel guilty anytime I ate anything nice like chocolate so I started to eat it in secret and the habit has stuck. The guilt is still there too.

Ana, I don't know about anyone else's DH but Mr Rosesarered would scoff it all before I had even had one or two chocs from the box.If we are given a box of Maltesers he scoops a fistful of the things at a time. Sometimes we just HAVE to keep chocs a secret!

Love Ash Tree's advice!
