I've been so good on the food end of things lately. I don't really like chocolate, but I LLOOVVEE caramel. And this time of year those cadbury choc caramel eggs can destroy me. I've been known to eat like 12 (of the big ones mind you) in a single day!!

And I know I'm like an addict - if I get just a nibble of even one, I'm done for. SO this year I have used every single ounce of willpower I have, and not even had a taste - not even one of the minis. I was even in the grocery store last month with a pack of them in my hand - and I put them back. YAY me! Thinking I'll have one on Easter and then they'll be out of the stores.

So DH (and today D is NOT darling) went for groceries yesterday and what did he do? Brought home 4 of the 4-packs. Yes 16 of those ##@@**&&!!### eggs. What's my only option? Pump my kids full of sugar and then deal with the aftermath. I KNOW if I eat even one it's all over - and then I get the guilt and plumeting self-esteem - all from one piece of candy. (I hate struggling with food!)

I told him if he's ever that sweet again I'll divorce him (now THAT'll really confuse the male gender huh?) Just had to vent!

You could do a few things - make your husband eat them, throw them away, or bring them to work (assuming you work outside the home) and share with your coworkers. That's what I do when I make cookies with my DD.
 
I knew this was a thread about chocolate! LOL

Good luck, Lorrie. I'll be rooting for you!! Maybe you can give them the candy and send them to your mother in law's?? }(
 
Your DH goes grocery shopping??? I wonder if I can get my Dh to go grocery shopping!!

I know you hate to do this, but you may have to throw those caramel eggs in the trash. ;-)
 
When I get a box of candy at Christmas, I give it to hubby, tell him to hide them somewhere, and to give me NO MORE THAN THREE A DAY no matter how much I beg. It works out well for me, I'm forced into moderation. If the box were just sitting there in the kitchen I'd be all over it until it was empty...
 
Yes, I would choose the "throw them in the trash" option. And put dish soap on them. If you're anything like me, the fact that they're in the trash won't stop you if you want one badly enough.

My answer to unwanted food items (I shouldn't say unWANTED, just unneeded ;-)) is to take it to work. Everything gets scarfed up pretty quickly, problem solved (I work in a hospital). Of course, if we are talking about Cadberry Eggs.... :eek: I'd sneak in just one

Hehehe...

Lorrie, your DH is adorable. He just is. I try to never let my DH grocery shop by himself. You don't even want to know the crap that guy can find in a grocery store:eek:

Oh yeah, dish soap is definitely the way to go. Either that, or smear them all over your DH and strap him to an ant hill:p :7
 
I am so glad that I am not the only one that will forage in the trash for candy. I hate to admit I will even eat M&M's I find under beds. Those caramel eggs are made in Heaven's opposite. I wounldn't advise freezing them because they will still be edible.
Dishsoap may be my new weapon.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now there's a mental picture! :7
 
You guys are too funny - thanks for the soap idea. Unfortunately I'm a SAHM, so they are right in front of me all the time. Now I DID take 2 of those 4-packs and put them in DH's brief case this morning, so he can share them with his staff and make brownie points! And I did indeed feed an entire pack to my kids (which soon after resulted in my 3-y.o. son getting a tube of Desatin and smearing half of it all over the outside of his closet door - but hey - I didn't eat that egg.) So now I'm left with 4 individual ones. Could pitch them - but for as much trouble as I gave him, I do adore DH and I would have a hard time hurting his feelings by telling him I threw them out. Now the ant hill - that's an option.

Thanks for your support all! :)

Seems good to me...you spend the calories you would have gained by eating the flippin' things on chasing your now hyperactive kids around the house (and the little guy had a blast with the Desatin!).
 
Remember: There aren't any bad foods. If you eat EVERYTHING in moderation, and DO NOT DEPRIVE youself of foods you really love, you'll be able to handle the situation without overeating.;-)
 
Right - the problem with me is that I know myself well enough to know that for this particular treat this time of year - I lose all control. And the best way for me to keep it in perspective is to allow myself to have that treat on Easter - when the stores will no longer have them in stock the following day. Self restraint, and then my treat. If I do it now - it's all over! Ugh!

OMG,that Desitin story is so funny!!!Maybe if there is any left over after the closet door incident, you could smear the remainder on the eggs. Just a thought. Or picture that they are a bad batch filled with rotting worms; no more caramel left, ewww.:* I know, really gross, but thats the idea}( Nancy~~~
 
I LOVE Peeps. All my students know that and bring me tons of them. Today I received four boxes in different colors. They all went into the trash can when they left. Horrible, I know. I just have no control with those things.

I remember one year I mentioned in class that I like those pink SnoBall things. Shortly after, one student would bring me 1/2 dozen packs a week. I would put them in my closet until I noticed how many there were. It was so funny. I finally told her "Thanks, but no thanks."
