Annual "No Halloween Candy" pledge!
I've looked forward to this thread every year ... and Halloween came up before I even noticed! Still a few weeks to go, however, so let's put on our best "no, thank you"'s! Anybody in?

I'm in. NO Halloween candy. NONE.
Good to remember, it's been made since Easter. Quite a bit of the stuff will be leftover from last year.
NOT ONE BIT.

So last year I went in for "no Halloween candy except on Halloween" and it turned into something of a disaster. I need something modified. I need something I can stick to without feeling deprived (and "no halloween candy at all" makes me feel deprived  ).
I'm thinking something along the lines of "only X many pieces of Halloween candy." That way I can spread it out over multiple days or have it all on one day, without going overboard. I just need to figure out what X should be. I'm leaning toward 10.

I'm taking the pledge. And it'll be harder this year, since my apartment building had nearly no children and they weren't allowed to come trick-or-treating there. Here, the village is crawling with children of different ages and sizes. I can hear little piping voices outside right now screaming over some outdoor game.
No candy for me. None whatsoever.

I'm going to pledge what worked well last year: no mass-produced, bagged candy. I will leave a single slot open for a lovingly hand-made, decadent truffle, just in case one should cross my path between now and the 31st. But I will also log the calories.

No candy for me. We've had so few children that I just made sure the house was dark last year. I guess that makes me a Halloween grinch.

Oh Gosh, NO! I'm still "haunted" by my Halloween binge of last year. I've talked about it many a times here at 3FC, but Halloween of 2010 I ate so much candy and sugar that I was literally sick for days, and the scale was up 10+ pounds overnight...and it took several weeks of very strict CC to get back to normal. Oh, God, I never want to be that sick again. NO HALLOWEEN CANDY FOR ME!

I'm not a maintainer yet - but I say NO NO NO to halloween candy and guess what? Hub went shopping Sunday and already bought about 6 bags of mini-candy crap. I could choke him! WHY would the man go and do that, early even? Shame on him.

No candy for me either!
I made it through last year and I'll make it through this year.
Thanks for posting this.
