Eating cake, chocolates and biscuits because they are there

[mrsfran]

I've had a massive bar of chocolate in the fridge for a couple of months now. It gets nibbled at every now and again, but it's gone a bit grainy and weird so I might have to throw it out.

I made a 24cm new york cheesecake at the weekend.
Me and the husband have nearly eaten half of it between us.

We cannot stop ourselves

What you should do is drink excessively, to the point of alcoholism. I find it suppresses the urge to binge on sugary stuff, which I think is to do with messages from the liver.

What the hell is Vintage Paw's job?

30 yr old Saturday girl in a bookshop. I'm a stoodent, you see, so don't work full time. More time for cake

Mr Paw brought me home a Twirl this afternoon, bless him. The problem was, it was shorter than normal. I hope the aren't implementing an assiduous 'Wagon Wheel' strategy

Send it to me

It really has gone a bit weird.

Ah!
Sounds ideal.

I have the week off work so got piles of lovely food in. But now have so many biscuits and cakes that I can't choose between, that I've hardly eaten anything.

So that's my advice.

I@m one of those weirdos that never craves any choolate or cake. My make bought mea thourntons choclate cake fr my birthday and it jst got chucked away. Perhaps I should have given it away on urban. Either way, I'm not too sure why this occurs. I think it stems from being given sweets as a treat as a kid.

"Well done you did good.. have a chocolate.. or a sweetie.. or whatever"

See with me it was always coming back from school we were given a "treat" afteer school. Cheese on toast, or a bag of crisps. As a consequence I really dig the savories.

Put a load of avocados and prawns infront of me and I will yum them up. give me a stack of melted cheese... yum yum yum. etc etc

I can see the attraction but I'm not sure that helps much in avoiding diabetes

sugar and spice and all things nice

Oh my Goddess, no we can't pin it on Neil.

1. Your Mum might disown you

2. I've just had a terrible waking nightmare concerning the glam band Sweet, and a traumatic dental appointment at age 5.

It was all going on. How many zillions of lyrics contain the word "sweet" It's a veritable confectionery conspiracy I tell ya.......

And there's another thing. We'd get sent to vicious dentists who would remove your teeth soon as look at you. They used to bung you a lollipop for being brave and to guarantee repeat custom. At least it was NHS. In the 90s, just as those dental chickens were coming home to roost NHS dentistry was decimated. Even if you were one of the tiny minority who could hold of a dentist you had to practically remortgage to pay the fees.

It sure is a weird, wacky and wonderful world. I'm very sorry about the rant. I think I've started clucking. I'm off to mainline a mars bar

Now this post makes sense and is on or hovering about the vague vacinity of my wavelengths.

crisps are my downfall

 

[Groucho]

Crisps don't do it for me. I'll have crisps with lager but otherwise I'm a cake and chocolate man.

And if you are round a friends and you get a slice of cake or a biscuit with your tea do you politely eat it and then dribble mercilessly until they give you another slice or pass you the packet?

You really NEED to develop some willpower pretty damn sharpish mate

Have you tried taking a chromium(I think) supplement. Iirc that is supposed to help balance blood sugars.

I eat chocolate every day but only small amounts(up to 5 squares). I have a fear of being overweight

I have been known to feed the birds cake that has gone off(my record being one I forgot was there for a yr)
