Green and Blacks - mmmmmmm!!!

I am the ultimate chocoholic and it can often be my downfall - yesterday I went into Asda and found Green and Blacks on special offer - I decided to test my will power and buy some deciding that if my consumption of chocolate is going to be limited then I will buy quality rather than quantity. Last night when I counted up after dinner I had over 400 calories to spare so used a good amount of it on 60g of G&B Butterscotch Milk Chocolate which came to just over half the 100g bar. I am so pleased with myself that firstly I measured it out, secondly the other part of the bar is sitting patiently in the fridge waiting for another day and thirdly I ate it slowly and savoured it rather than it not touching the sides! :)

Well done Annabelle. I too am a chocoholic and have recently found I can have a Green and Black's mini bar if I need my fix in the evening. I never thought i could cut down but we are proof it can be done. X

Well done ☺

Hi and well done for measuring out and saving the rest.

I too have been buying 70% dark chocolate tiny bars from Aldi also they do ones with sea salt in etc only about 140 calls a bar but to be honest I find dark chocolate sickly so I only have 1/2 a bar.

I too savour every tiny piece and I think back to when I used to buy a bar of chocolate and just eat it so quickly I don't think it even touched the sides, makes me feel a right pig now 🐷🐷🐷

Hi..wow you must have self control..with me its all or nothing..at the moment its nothing..if I even had a low cal hot chocolate it would set me off for days...scoffing that delicious sweet gooey yummy see...lol

Actually I don't appreciate dark chocolate much..thank goodness..too bitter for me..but still praise where praise is due..you go girl..and the others that can cut down without going cold turkey...

I'm the same, FARMERSUE find it really hard to have just a little, so you are not alone! I am getting better, can eat just a little piece of cheese now, but still find chocolate very addictive 😟

Very well done Annabelle_Bebbs 😂

I've got a 100g bar of Lindt Excellence 90% cocoa solids bar at work. I've eaten 3 squares in 2 weeks and that is satisfying the chocolate craving. Keep going @Annabelle_Bebbs xx
