I recently read this about M&Ms ...

1. Stand at one end of a football field.

2. Eat one M&M.

3. Walk to the other end of the football field.

4. You've just burned off the calories of your one M&M.

5. Repeat walking one length of a football field for each M&M eaten.

:fr: Doesn't that make you think twice about popping those little :devil: :devil: :devil: ?

Holy :moo:, Meg!!! I had no idea those little :censored: had so many calories in them! :yikes: Well, that was all the motivation I needed to not go rooting through the left over candy!

I see that Jasmine must have bought the same bag of halloween candy that I'm now stuck with since we didn't get one trick or treater (new to the area and didn't know if we'd get hit or not).

I know myself well enough to know that I'm not even going to have one or I'm inviting myself to the whole bag.

We went to the gym last night and then out for salad. That way, we didn't have to be home for halloween, didn't have to buy any candy, and have no leftovers!

OMG!!! You did that too?! I called that 1800 number today for those little Milky Ways! LMAO

You know how people bring their leftover Halloween candy to work (or make their spouses do it) so that they don't eat it? That was the situation at my work today. I resisted most of the items until they were gone, but figured "Oh, that little bar can't be too bad", and ate it, before calling the hotline, LOL.

For Halloween itself, on the years I give things out, it's not candy. I've bought a gross of little plastic spider rings and such to give out from the Oriental Trading Company or similar catalogs. Much less havoc with my eating that way.

I have a part time job at a Halloween shop so I was SURROUNDED by candy! Luckily, when I went into work today the trickortreaters and other employees had already taken the majority of the candy.

Gee. Thanks, Meg. :p :D

You're welcome! Glad I can be a little ray of sunshine in your day. :lol3:

Heh. Actually, the only thing I can think about now is that M&M's equal a touch down... :D

ROFL!!

:o I got into the bowl yesterday. Then I sent the rest to work with DH and took some to my work! I have the kids' treats left but I was told that it is better to let them eat it in a couple days than to spread it out (Pediatrician told me this) And each will take a bite or two then throw it away! It should be gone by monday!

Thanks for the reminder! I haven't done anything with them for YEARS!

That is a good idea. Besides, once you've given a ring or something out, they won't want to come back because it isn't candy.
