Is comping making anyone fat???

Options
Not that I am complaining, but in the past few weeks I have won four cases of crisps, a huge easter egg, three giant boxes of Thornton's chocs and various other naughty treats. I do give quite a lot as pressies but am sure I have been putting on a few pounds! Do other compers have the same problem or do you all have more willpower than me and OH? It's always, I will start a diet after we finish this, and then we win some more :rotfl:

    No....... I was fat already:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Darling son no3 drinks the Pepsi (addicted to the stuff), hubby eats all the biscuits so when I fancy one there are none left!! the only problem I have is trying to get it through to them to keep the ring pulls and not tear the biscuit wrapper part where the code is!:mad:

    well you being diabetic should know better than to write that, you and your son may have thought it was a joke but others reading it will get the wrong idea, my son has been bullied due to remarks like that and kids/adults thinking he or i am to blame for it!

    I have put on weight due to being sat here more often not doing much & now when ever i end up shopping if i see a Promotional Pack i end up buying it, regardless if i fancy it or not. I just want to enter the Competition!! *Doh*

    *Buys lots of junk for codes and what not*
    Then being sat here, end up munching more of the junk to get rid of it. lol


    Forgot to add!..
    I started Comping because of the Cadbury Carnival Competition.
    Noww that defiantly didnt help. To much chocolate. lol
