Picketing the Cadbury Corporation. Anyone with me?



Recommended Posts

For the last 6 weeks, I've been trying my darndest to lose the last bit of weight I have left. Then the Easter candy came out. Those Cadbury eggs are my biggest downfall. I think over the last couple weeks, I've eaten about a lb of them.

I've got to sit down and write letter to Cadbury, explaining myself and my struggles. Maybe then they'll take them off the shelves. Do you think that will work? I didn't think so...

Looking forward to the week after Easter (not the day after, when all the Easter candy will be 50% off!)

Girl I am right there with you!!!

Cadbury eggs are my FAVORITE candy of all time. I seriously love them and used to look forward to Easter to have them all year long.

Last night my daughter bought a 5 pack of them and offered me one in the car. She's lucky I didn't push her out at a stop light. LOL

So far, I have resisted temptation (and I have no idea how) but I am growing weaker and weaker.

Being from England I grew up eating Cadburys Creme Eggs....I feel your pain...every time I see them it takes everything in me to resist...at Halloween in the UK you can get Cadburys Scream eggs which are basically the same only the middle is green and my sister sends me some every year...so this year I'm going to have to tell her no thank you! :)

I have found that trying to ignore chocolate makes me want it even more . Creme eggs were always one of my favourites although now I think they are a bit too sickly sweet. When I am craving chocolate I usually buy a Curly Wurly. They take a little bit longer to eat than just milk chocolate as they are chewy and they are pretty low in calories - somewhere between 80 - 100.

For me its the mini eggs. I find the cream ones revolting. I will get the minis for Easter day have my serving and send the rest back with my nephew to college.

I love both kinds of Cadbury eggs, but I used to eat those mini-eggs by the bag. Not the little bag, either. I'm not going near those things. They are the devil. I am planning to have one Cadbury Creme Egg. One.

My sister and I refer to the Cadbury mini eggs as Easter crack! I thought we were the only ones who couldn't resist!

Cadbury eggs and Reese's Peanut Butter eggs are my most favorite of all!!!! My husband brought home the Reese's ice cream eggs 3 nights ago! I seen them in the ice cream section of the store 2 days before and ran quickly from the aisle! Now the temptation is killing me! I had a dream last night that I got up and ate one! I had to check the garbage to see if there was a wrapper in there and I wasn't dreaming! No wrapper! Whew! I feel like telling the kids that they don't get supper unless they eat one first! Lol..

Easter candy is my most fav!!!!! I love it, used to look forward to it all year. I ate so many BIG bags of the mini eggs it was gross. But I also couldn't stop eating all the rest either I loved all Easter candy. This year I have done so good not one piece or even one shamrock shake!!! Maybe just on Easter this year ;)

I am glad I don't eat those. I use to eat the coconut cream eggs. Not this year! I do have dark chocolate in the house though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
