need a chocolate substitute

Oooh I shall have to fight my daughter for the flumps from the sweetie box

But isn't the whole point of giving up something for Lent that you should feel deprived? Personally (and I do stress that this is my point of view only) I would see substituting something else to have the same effect as being quite against the whole principle.

Beetroot apparently curbs a chocolate craving-I'm not a 'sweet' person so don't know if it works but a lady in my group swears by it x

Actually that kind of makes sense. I LOVE beetroot and it is kind of sweet, so that's worth a go too!
I'm not a sweet person if I'm honest but when I'm not allowed it I tend to think about it more! Now I can't eat whole packets of penguins I kind of want to! :sigh:

My snack (or food in general lol) of choice pre Slimming World was always high sugar, and no1 was choccy.

I know sugar is my downfall so decided to cut out high sugar snacks all together. After 8+ weeks I have to say I don't miss it anymore.

Last week my son bought me a cup cake so I decided to have a treat and saved my syns for the day (it was 13.5!). I found it tooth numbingly sweet and sickly and after eating it had a sugar rush akin to a drug high!

I am begining to think there is some truth to sugar addiction (for some people at least) and I am better off steering clear.

The syrup on bananas would be nice!

I prefer a pkt of fig rolls but I guess that's not a good thang!
