Did a bit of shopping and driving around this morning, popped into a petrol garage to fill the car up, and treated myself to a Twix!
Had one Twix finger when I got home, oh my G*d, it was so lush!!! I have not had "proper" Chocolate for about five months.
NB: I have had the odd square of 75%+ dark choc.....
My plan is to save the other Twix finger for tomorrow, but I may give in and have it later.... 😎

A Twix would be the last chocolate bar I would be tempted to buy..... the shop and all the surrounding shops would have to be sold out of all their Cadbury's chocolate and Mars/Snickers before I would contemplate one. For me though the other half of a milk chocolate bar would be pleading with me to eat. It would be a step onto a very slippery slope for me that I would struggle to get off. It is just no good me going there.
Pleased you enjoyed what was obviously a treat for you though. Just as well we are all different.

We have a box of chocolate bars, mostly from ALDI, their dark choc of different flavours or the much sought after dark choc Toblerone which are reserved for our weekend 1 square with the evening coffee. OH selects and gives me the piece.
I am never tempted to go into the box to get any more.
Anything milk choc tastes horribly sweet.

Oh I love chocolate. I will admit belt my diagnosis I did eat a little too much of it.

I've been surprised actually how easily I've managed to cut it almost right out bar the odd (not more than one in a day) fun sized somethingorother.

Can't help it as do it with similar choc bars, start by biting off top of Twix then nibble chocolate off around biscuit base then eat that.

Enjoy your treat @pjgtech

Yep, TBH, so far I don't really miss the bad sweet things, choc, crisps, cake, etc. And I used to eat a lot of them.
If I'm feeling hungry now I am more likely to be craving a nice Greek salad or a roast chicken.
I used to love crisps especially, anything in cheese and onion and would usually have at least one bag a day, plus other treats. Its actually quite scary looking back now, knowing what I used to eat, and how bad those things were, and how often I would eat them.
But I am still very motivated to not get back into old habits if at all possible.
But I will still allow myself the occasional treat.

I used to love a twin. Often a daily treat pre diabetes. Haven't had one since last March but tbh not really missing it. There is a bar of dark chocolate in the pantry which has been there about 2 weeks. Haven't been tempted yet.....but making no promises
