Gee I must be the worst person when it comes to consuming large amounts of choc in the one sitting. If I buy the large kingsize blocks I eat them in one sitting ...and as we speak I'm guilty of bingeing out on too many pinky bars (they had 2x treat bags with 15 mini bars in them for $6 at woolies) ....on no I ate a whole bag yesterday and im already halfway through the second today - feeling oh so guilty. I seriously have no willpower when it comes to choc and my skin is def starting to show for it

I often wonder if maybe thats why Lucas is a heavy boy/has a big tummy ...if he's getting all my bad food and choc through breastmilk coz he certainly doesn't eat much. A bit too late to be worrying about that now though]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:29:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369563&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369563 <![CDATA[Choc consumption - am I normal : During pregnancy I craved white...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369437&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369437 Author: sally belly

During pregnancy I craved white chocolate which normally isn't my favourite but it's chocolate none the less . I haven't had any since though. Maybe I was lacking in calcium back then...

Lol Freesia. I think that does make you an addict too. I considered buying another king size block this morning too but I'd have to eat 3/4's of it to make it look like I didn't scoff the first block. Even I have *limits*. But I think it was only because dark chocolate isn't my favourite either.

Mmmmm luxury flakes are to die for...]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:31:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369437&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369437 <![CDATA[Choc consumption - am I normal : LisaD wrote:Normally I am the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369390&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369390 Author: MrsMojo

Hi, I'm Felicity and I have a chocolate, lollies, icecream and chips addiction.

I blame the baby. Until a month ago, I didn't have a sweet tooth. Now, heaven help anything that has sugar - I'm in and I don't stop eating till it's gone. DH can't stop laughing cos it's so not me. Hopefully the cravings will go away (or I'll develop self control). ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:30:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369360&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369360 <![CDATA[Choc consumption - am I normal : I&#039;ll finish off DP&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369354&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369354 Author: Freesia

I'll finish off DP's share as well. Now he knows if he leaves any, it's fair game If he has a chocolate bar that he really wants for later, he has to take it to work with him. I have to confess ... DP bought 2 luxury flakes last night and I ate mine, he left his sitting there. So when I went shopping this morning, I bought another one to replace his one that I just ate.

The worst bit is that I don't even really like chocolate that much. I enjoy the first few pieces then the rest of the block makes me feel sick, yet I can't stop. Is that an addict??? ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:25:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369354&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369354 <![CDATA[Choc consumption - am I normal : Normally I am the same and eat...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369353&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369353 Author: LeahandJoel

Yeah I think I will get my iron levels checked. I wouldn't be surprised if they came back a little low.

Neeks, I doubt that even hiding the chocolate would work for me as I'd know where it was so would have to devour it anyway . DH hid it yesterday so I emailed him to demand he tell me where it was (luckily he caved & told me).

I love dark chocolate! Dark chocolate and red wine. Mmmmm!!

They are both extremely good for you (dark choc's full of iron and red wine's full of antioxidents) so I feel totally justified and I ignore the fact that I can't shift my belly weight.

Oh, and let's not forget about lollies.....

You're not alone but considering how bad the cravings are you are more likely lacking in some mineral or vitamin and your body is trying to get it.

I used to be the same way, well a chocoaholic at least, thankfully not anymore!

or just a huge piggy with uncontrollable urges?

DH thinks I eat too much . He is one of these people who can eat several pieces in a sitting & leave it at that. Of course, the chocolate sits in the fridge staring at me all day. DH's answer is to divide the block in half but this means I eat mine in a day & he takes aaaaages to consume his half, all the while it's staring at me each time I open the fridge. I must get round to informing DH that his latest idea has failed dismally as I have just eaten the rest of his half. Oooops.

Some days I feel like I really NEED to eat chocolate & if there's none in the house I have been known to resort to eating the cooking choc melts . They're a pretty poor substitute though but when your addiction rears its head you do what you have to do to try & satisfy it!

So, my name is Sally & I am a chocolate addict. But it could be worse, way worse right?!! Please someone just tell me I'm not alone. ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:39:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16761&PID=369164&title=choc-consumption-am-i-normal#369164
