What are you going to do to help yourself avoid Easter Candy? Is that a problem for you? or something you find easy to do?

I love those Cadbury Creme Eggs and all the other flavours of eggs. The usual bunnies I'm not too interested in. I've already indulged in a few eggs so far this season but I don't think I will have anymore. I think I had enough that I don't feel deprived. That's the secret in my humble opinion. Don't deny yourself something but practice moderation. I felt that I needed to eat some chocolate eggs and I did, I think maybe 4 over the past couple of months, but I didn't go crazy and eat one everyday. so have a bunny and leave it at that.

Ohhhh Cadbury Creme eggs. I love em. I wish I could find the mini's though, they are less points. Anyone seen them anywhere?

I just try to avoid it. but if I NEED it, I'll allow myself one thing, and then count the points. That seems to work much better than depriving myself and being miserable!

I LOVE Easter candy so I am going to pick out one thing and I am not sure what it will be yet, perhaps a chocolate buttercream egg and have that. I will not buy it until late next week.

I have purchased my children's candy and it is hidden away from them and from me. Fortunately for me, they do not like the same kind of candy that I do. I too love Cadbury eggs but they hate them.

The Easter bunny better be careful just in case I get really hungry

I'm vegan, so we can't just go out and buy any old kind of easter candy, I make Ravyn's candy, this year pb filled eggs, and I'll probably have one, but one is usually all I can handle... she'll only get a couple herself, and then we'll fill the rest of her basket with movies and toys and stuff...

Well I have solved the problem by not getting any candy for me or my girls. They don't need all the sweet stuff anyway. So I got them little gifts. They will like that better anyway.

Peanut Butter eggs. MY ultimate favorite. I could eat a dozen of them and not even blink.

SO, I am staying far far far away from all of that garbage. I will be purchasing my god children non candy items. So, I really shouldn't be around the candy unless my lovely co-workers bring it in, which they always do. But I will keep my mind open and not fall into that trap.

Why is every holiday filled with food? lol
