For the last 2 week's is Easter candy, OMG Robin Egg's i love those thing's and it's still week's away from Easter. Needless to say i'm out of the store in record time these day's Just so i don't give in and buy them, i could eat the whole bag by myself.

Good for you for getting in and out of there quickly! I know I avoid the Easter/chocolate aisle at the grocery store even more these days as well!

Hehe--I love Peeps. And pure sugar on a LC diet doesn't really work. Strangely enough, I haven't been even tempted by the Valentine's or Easter candies this year--I guess I'm finally in "the Zone".

I was at the grocery store Saturday with DH and as we were heading towards checkout I passed a big Cadbury's display. I mindlessly picked up a creme egg -- we're talking I didn't even stop waking, that automatic -- then laughed when I saw it in my hand. I handed it to DH and he put it back for me.

That stuff only appeals to me in some bizarre automatic, subconscious way -- like, muscle memory almost. But my brain knows better, it knows there is nothing worthwhile in Easter/Valentines/any other holiday candy and so long as I think about it rationally I can usually resist.

Keep resisting!! The candy companies don't need your money!!

Speaking of resisting, I still have a Valentine's Day chocolate heart that I haven't eaten! It's from Purdy's, too, so you know it's good! I calculated it out to 4 points, and I just haven't found a day where I've been willing to spend that on it. I would eat half and save half for later, but I think we all know that would never happen!

I don't even dare look at the Russel Stover display......

Good luck Patti!

Those little robin's eggs are MY problem at Easter, too! Thank goodness I haven't come across any. Not that I'd buy them, but just that I'd be tempted to stare & drool at them too long.

Hey Patti Best of success at your WW meeting. Make sure to let us know how it goes & if you have any questions!

Oh my! Malted milk eggs are my favorite! I don't know if I could honestly ration them out as my points allowed it or not ???? It's probably best not to even try....

Suite that's funny the autopilot, eh?

Last night I dropped DH off at his bowling and picked up my new glasses, so anyway as I'm driving around in the car I keep thinking I could get fries at MickeyD's, get some kind of coffee thing at Starbuck's, seeing billboards for coffee and donuts, etc. and I'm thinking to myself, this is just so weird, all I can think of to do is get something to eat and I don't feel like eating anything. I'm saying to myself, is that all there is to do around here? get something to eat? So I stopped by our bowling alley and and pre-bowled for our Sun. night mixed league because I'm travelling Sun.

Even walking around Walmart, I was like I could get some kind of candy and eat it and nobody would know, but I just didn't want to. Sometimes now when I look at candy and all those super-frosted cakes and stuff, all I see is sugar and fake bright colors and I think what kind of chemicals do they use to make that electric blue or pink??

I am amazed at how much Easter candy is out there, I remember at a meeting a long time ago, a lady was sharing about her Easter candy experience and how many times she bought the candy for the kid's baskets, because the stuff was out there so early and she kept eating it!!! She kept thinking, I'll just eat a couple of these, I can get more before Easter. Yeeps (my mom loves peeps, she nukes them for a couple seconds).

Anyhow, resist the candy, it's true, they're just trying to get as much money of yours as they can. Resist!!

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!

oh my gosh! For me, it is the Reese's eggs! SOOOO good....a little explosion of reese's peanut butter...I used to eat like 10 of those numerous times a day!

Man, my love affair with Reese's cups ended two weeks ago when I realized that one regular-sized pb cup has 3 points in it. I found myself thinking, oh, it's small, it can't be more than a point or two. So I had two of them and found myself with 6 less points when I looked it up! Not worth it at all! Now if I have a reese's craving I'll just eat a dab of pb by itself... It seems to work

keli, I have that same exact feeling in my town. Is there anything to do around here besides eat?? Even if you just wanna go get coffee there's now cheesecake being sold in my favorite coffee place. People wonder why I stay home all the time -- there's nothing to do but go to restaurants or spend way too much to sit in a crummy theater to watch a movie (we don't have good theaters here). Sigh. Good job though on avoiding the coffee and doughnuts and coffee and electric blue sweet things

cadburry egss!! Love them!! so far so good at resisting!

I was in the store today a had a bag of robin egg's in my hand, saw 180 calories for 8 of them and said to myself "Yeah right i'm only going to eat 8 of them, maybe in my dreams lol" So i put them back.

Bizmax, i have a funny story abt cadburry egg's, When my dd was 3 My Mother made her a easter basket, and in it was a cadburry egg. My daughter put it the whole thing in her mouth & got it stuck. She could not bite down on it to break it up. I had a heck of a time getting it out, as it was wedged in there pretty good. My Mom & i still laugh abt it all these yr's. My dd will be 28yr's old this yr,lol.
