Help, need to give up chocolate!

[twinkles]

Girls I have a serious problem with chocolate, I'm eating way way way to much but can't go a day with out it! Other than that I'm eating normally! Just weighed and in nearly 22 weeks I have put on 14lb, a stone!!!!

I have just decided it's got to stop, for my sake and baby's sake, just don't know how I can do it!x

Maybe low fat options hot chocolates?

 

[twinkles]

No I really need to stop altogether! I'm an all or nothing person! At the mo it's all the choc I can get my hands on!!! x

 

[calphurnia7]

Cold turkey might just make you go out and buy the big bar of Galaxy, are you sure? LOL

 

[twinkles]

Oh god I don't know! There's a big bar of whole and nut in the fridge! Leaving it there, unopened! I'm crap!x

I am exactly the same...iv been known to eat chocolate as early as 8am as I have developed this sweet tooth...I have been thinking ummm I could eat a crunchie but trying to resist...I'm not ready to give it up, iv sacrificed enough lol xx

I'm a daily weigher and the scales going up isn't good I can't believe how much chocolate I eat! Read baby can now get a taste of what we eat so my baby will what chocolate milk at this rate! Not good....x

Oh man. This thread has really made me want a whole nut and a crunchie.

I think going cold turkey is a bad idea. No need to punish urself!
What about if u don't keep any chocolate in the house, that way, ull have to go out to get some - which isn't very appealing.
Also, allow urself a little bit once a day, like after dinner.
Ull still get ur fix, but won't be overdoing it x

Awwww I'm ok all day because I'm a work in my salon so try not to go out for chocolate supplies too much but it's the eve, I NEED chocolate! Lots!! Ok maybe cold turkey is not best idea but it's the eating a little I have a problem with, never seem to get bored or full! Another 19 weeks of this can't be good!x

A stone is fine!! They say 10-15lbs gain in tri1 then a pound every week thereafter so if anything your under!

Treat yourself, your working hard to make your LO so you can have it. I mean when else can we justify scoffing a whole big bar of choc?!

I'm only telling you this to make myself feel better as I scoffed a crunchie AND a kinder bueno today oh and a small tub of vanilla I've cream!! Xx

 

[mrz85]

dont stop but try and keep it as a treat x

 

[Loula]

i gained a stone by 22 weeks.
Also if you find a way let me know chocolate is my weakenss x

 

[twinkles]

Ha ha! Keep using the excuse that baby needs it! Had extra big twix, milky bar yoghurt and magnum, this is along side jam on toast, Chinese chicken baguette and a ham and cheese toastie....do u think I'm addicted to carbs?!?! Maybe it's not the chocolate, it's the bloody bread!!!!!!!! x

 

[calphurnia7]

Milk chocolate will fill u up, do u like milk?

 

[twinkles]

I'm love milk chocolate, managed a whole galaxy bar big enough to share all to myself, no problem! X

 

[calphurnia7]

i meant chocolate milk wow pregnancy brain alert

 

[twinkles]

Oh ha ha, might be worth a try! X

 

[babyem]

Could try chocolate milkshake? A think one like frijj might be good?

My SIL had the same problem when she was pregnant with my neice. Should would eat family size bars of chocolate everyday and eat a pack of biscuits during the night! She did put on alot of weight. Everything in moderation! You are cooking a baby so treat yourself! x

I gained this much by 12 weeks pregnant!
I would have thought your weight gain was normal for 22 weeks? x

Hi hun, I think your weight gain is normal. I've put on 1 1/2 stone now and I'm addicted to chocolate too!! I've found mikados great as you get the choc taste but less calories. I eat the whole box but it's not as bad as a whole bar of choc. The white ones are the best!! Don't deprive yourself, you're not alone! Xx
