We get ZERO here too and hubby always insists on buying candy.. It's gone now because we ate it. It wasn't a huge amount but I wish he'd listen to me and not buy it!
I had a plan which helped but................ my son bought the candy but I had to pass them out. When I opened the bag that had butterfingers, the smell was wonderful. I gave away the Butterfingers first but did eat 2 of the small bars.
The leftover candy has been whisked away by someone and I don't even know where it is.
Me! And a cookie from the work party. I've found that if I'm reasonable (one piece of candy/one cookie instead of a ton like before) I have more luck than telling myself I can't have something.
We usually have tons of trick or treaters ... but bad weather meant we ended up with next to none. There's a dentist office that will take candy tomorrow at 3 pm ... and then they will ship it to our active duty service men and women ... but until then it's in the house.
I'm counting down the hours until I can get rid of it.
I had one fun size Almond Joy, and was tempted to eat some Reeses cups (my fave), but pretty much that's it. I don't eat a lot of candy anyway so it's not like I see and want to nom on all of it.
I did make pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting, but had one square. Man it was sooo sweet. I had to drink a cup of plain black coffee to wash it down.
I did and I'm paying for it today. 4 weeks with no sugar and I caved. That stuff just needs to stay out of my house for a while. Today, I have a horrible headache. I should have known better.
I had 5 pieces. For me, that's a victory! (I've always made it very clear to everyone that candy is my favorite food!) And, I tracked it all and only went over calories by about 30, which is fine by me, too!
