I told a friend that I was tired post CABGx3. He said I have send you some energy in the post. Mysterious.
Yesterst I had a delivery from Amazon - 48 Cadbury’s Wispa bars . FOURTY EIGHT. 4 dozen.
The chocolate addiction is what got me here…..
How do I not seem like an ungrateful grump, and more how do I avoid eating them all by Monday 🤣
Tell him that the road to hell is paved with good intentions - then bin the chocolate.
Henry’s says bin the choc - but to be serious your local foodbank might appreciate them.
Good idea!
wow! That is a lot of chocolate. If you don’t feel you can eat them in moderation how about donating them to your nearest food bank?
🤣 What a dilemma!I have a cousin whose friend had major surgery to remove her stomach and part of her digestive system. Soon after the op my cousin was going to send her some chocolate to cheer her up!
Really?? 😯
I pointed out the obvious 😂
Hello 
If it were me and I would give them away to any children living nearby or someone else said give them to a food bank they would really come in for them for children that do not get any treats very often
And your friend when they asked if you got them I would say yes and they were a lovely gesture and I appreciate it but now I have to watch my diet so much and cannot eat what I used to love like chocolate and be honest and just say would you mind if I pass them on to a food bank and sorry I did not make this clear about sticking to a healthy diet to keep well and fit
Or I would say something to that effect I think you need to say something the best way you can or you might keep getting them sent you x
Food bank is a great idea , there will no doubt be families , anyone in that situation would be cheered up .
Yep, you will have to educate your friends. My dad didn’t understand why I wouldn’t drink a beer just a few months post my 4xcabg surgery, it tasted awful to me and made me feel horrible on top of the meds .. Glad to say I can enjoy a couple of beers now, but I don’t drink like I used to and stay well under the 14 units a week.
Wishing you a speedy and comfortable recovery.
Just take them to your nearest primary school and give them to the kids as they come out. Oh! Wait!
I'd eat a couple of them and then they will come in handy for the trick or treaters next month. Just thank your friend, There's no point in falling out with them.
Eat them! I would, but probably not all by Monday 😂
+I thought Wispa bars were extinct! are you sure they should not be in a museum?
seriously though, this is too much temptation for and although it is a kind gesture i can understand your problem
as a recovering chocolate addict i suggest: 1. ask a friend or neighbour to take them away for safekeeping, while you decide what to do with them
2. write a brief note to thank your friend for their cheering gift
3. make a plan of how to dispose of the bars - you might allow yourself one or 2 a week, if you can ration yourself - I'm sure you know others you can gift some to over a period, the Llocal food bank sounds like a good idea, as suggested - this gives you the warm glow of passing on some chocolaty happiness and not indulging yourself
I hope you manage to steer yourself away from eating them all yourself
The original Wispa Bars are readily available here, but best of all are Wispa Gold, that have a caramel filling. If I had been given them it would be impossible to resist but I would have eaten 48 over a very extended time scale-at least 24 hours.
I would take that as a compliment, being a great fan (of Wispa bars) myself. Lock them up for now and force yourself to take one a day-once you have recovered!
don’t bin them! Gift them to school or in a food bank
19% of a Wispa bar is saturated fat. Not worth it.
Hi, OldaYoda,
I would suggest rolling with the spirit of the gift 🎁. I am sure that your friend had the best intentions—wanted you to feel happy—no more, no less. People just don’t always understand—but you don’t have to try to educate all at once.
So, second suggestion—donate your gift to a local teacher friend who can share the gift with 48 children or faculty members. Consider giving to a local church youth group or an afterschool program. One piece of candy won’t hurt most people—quality of life and all that.
Turn that gift into positivity! You and your friend will both win! ❤️
Great advice - I can give them to my son for the youth group he helps with.
I do hope people realised my tongue was firmly in my cheek in the original post.
I consider myself very blessed that I have friends who care enough to make an effort on my behalf!
Hi Olda Yoda,when I first read this I thought that’s like my hippie friends who are always sending each other good vibes,the Church people pray and I usually send hugs.I didn’t expect it to be chocolate.Very kind but for me it would be like an alcoholic with a barrel of whiskey.Have you got people to share it with?
I’m having it removed today - I hope! Going to share with church youth and wife’s school. It’s been tough living in the same house as the package of chocolate heaven!
