Left overs  erm.... what are those? They don't exist in this household for the most part. Although I did chuck away a pack of mince pies last week.
Little afterthought, can I class that as dieting? |

"Lots of M&S biscuits & shortbread
Yep I fall into the trap every year when they have the biscuits on offer. I rarely eat biscuits so why do I need a box of every type they sell? "
Bought when on offer not thinking . We got married at Xmas so weren’t even here!! Hopefully they’ll be demolished on holiday next week..... |

"Snowy Fingers. Two packets. I put a post it note on both packets to remind me not to eat them. It's worked so far. If all food had a post it note reminder, I'd be slim."
Snowy as in white chocolate? That would be enough to keep me away  |

We have a small table in the corner of the room which has six large boxes of chocolates on it along with various specialty chocolate selections like liqueur chocolates and marzipan etc.
Last year we finished the final box in the first week of December. |

"Pfft. Nothing makes it past January here..
Then you aren’t buying enough "
A Dr friend of mine has the theory that if you eat all your chocolate at once, your body can't absorb all the fats so much of it will pass through as waste. If you it it a little at a time, your body has more time to absorb an overall larger amount. Therefore eating it quickly is healthier. I have no idea, but I have embraced this theory.. |

So, those 3 bars of chocolate a night I ate didn't make a difference?

"Nothing left here gave most of it away in January as I couldn't see myself eating it."
If you'd played your cards right you could have seen me eating it!... |

I think if you ate 3 every night you might see some slight detrimental effect... |

I chucked some of last years leftover chocolate out when I moved the table to put up the Christmas tree.
I think the same will probably happen again. There’s boxes of hotel chocolat sweets, batons. Green and blacks mini bars, prestat chocolates and some others I can’t even think of. I should remember and take them to work but everyone’s on diets |

Unless there is a RCT to support this I’m not going with it |
