  • Friends of mine went to Italy and when they came back they came for a visit. She pulls out a FOUR POUND Toblerone bar and said she got it for me at duty free.

    Really? not a picture of where you went, some venetian glass, anything??? no, FOUR POUNDS of cholate. sigh...people....

    Oh well, the folks where DH works are happy
  • Good for you...giving it away!
  • Awww, I am glad you gave it away. Yay you!
  • OMG!

    I would be so mad!
  • Some people just don't think. Good for you for giving it away!
  • You're so strong to give it away! I'd have probably broken it into chunks and frozen them in sandwich bags, eating them slowly over time - but now you have NO extra temptation to worry about
  • Way to go...
  • I was going to suggest you get it bronzed....
  • If I'd been drinking something when I read this, I'm sure I would've spat all over the keyboard... A 4LB TOBLERONE???

    She must like you an awful lot to risk having to pay for overweight baggage...
  • A pitiful present IMHO. GREAT decision on what to do with the thing!
  • Good job on giving it away. At four pounds you might have found justification in using it as a dumbell...

    As another point of reference--you've "given away" the fat equivalent of 21+ of those chocolate bars! THAT'S some serious chocolate!
  • That would have been SO hard for me to just give away! Good for you!
  • I would have had to hand it right back to her, if I kept it for 2 seconds a pound of that puppy would have been G-O-N-E!

    Sucks you had to give up your "gift" but totally awesome of you for doing it!
  • Ok...my first thought? You've lost 85 pounds! Hasn't your friend noticed this? Chocolate would be my last idea for a gift for a friend who has accomplished such a great weight loss.

    This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Exactly. Very, very odd that she would give a 4 pound slab of chocolate to someone who's undergone such a transformation. Incredibly highly inappropriate. WTH??

    Eating them slowly over time? Like 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00.......... ???
