Candy anyone???
 

Just wondering how you all came through this ghoulish evening??? I was ok- I wasn't going to cheat at all, then had to go buy more candy- we probably had about 80+ trick or treaters!!! Anywho i got some of those hershey miniatures and did eat 2 of the mini dark chocolate ones... and man they seemed sweet- funny how different things taste when you aren't used to eating them! No more of that- wasn't near as good as some of the REAL dark chocolate I have had!

We had perhaps 75 trick or treaters last night. There were some really cute and creative costumes! I'm happy to report that I didn't eat any candy at all. I wasn't even tempted. :)

LOL- I thought of starting the same thread!

I decided to try one of the mini butterfingers. Now, mini's to me have 4-5 bites. I thought, I'm maintaining well...and I used to LOVVVVE them.

First bite: UGH! That's sweet! And not much flavor? WHat flavor was it supposed to be that I used to love it so much?

Second bite: Just to make sure I wasn't nuts. Nope, not worth cheating to me.

Then handed it to my husband who told me I was crazy :D.

WOW. I didn't like a candy bar!!!

PS - I think my husband intentionally didn't buy stuff I might steal....Reese's cups and snickers. Probably a wise move on his part

I didn't come into contact with any candy. This year my kids didn't go trick or treating and I didn't open the door. :( But I have a thing for tootsie rolls though. Maybe next year.

LOL- Good job everyone!

I feel like Garfield from his Halloween special. Caaaaaaaaaandy candycandycandycandycandy.

Went trick-or-treating last night and Little Guy made out like a bandit! He didn't even get any of the candy that I like (Butterfinger and Reese's PB Cups) so :p

Lisa - I'm with you ;)

When I opened a bag of Reese's candy it smelled so good! Love peanut butter and chocolate together. But I'm happy to say I didn't eat any. Gave it all away!

I had the same thing (the mini Butterfinger). Actually, I liked it, but ... I had NO desire for a second one, and those things are small. I don't even want one today :D

I think that was very sweet of your husband.

I intentionally bought candy I didn't like so if I didn't have many trick-or-treaters I wouldn't be tempted to have any. This is the first year that I had enough trick or treaters and ran out of candy.

I did have a small slice of cake at a party though.

You guys all did great! It was Day 0 for me yesterday so I binged like there was no tomorrow. It's Day 1 , well, it's almost Day 2 and I am happy to say that I didn't eat anything that isn't allowed during Ph1. Didn't crave any either. We have so much candy left over it's ridiculous. I'll have my dh take most of it to work.

Well....
 

I avoided candy like the plague during this whole month- at work we candy everywhere, when I went to class I had friends offering me candy, the only refugee was my house.... I didn't buy any candy. I we don't get trick or treaters in my apartment building.

The only negative is after avoiding the candy I accidently ate sugar.... I had an upset stomach so I ate a few tums alright, I like tums so it was a lot- 10.... The downside is that there is 1 g of sugar for ever 2 tums... It made me sad.... Grrrrrr Damn Tums!:mad:

It sounds like most of you were had a successful holiday. :)

I didn't eat any candy at all, or sugar. However, while taking my kids around on Friday night, I got kind of sick-feeling...the same kind of sick-feeling I used to get while eating too much sugar. It was like a contact sugar-high or something :D And then the next morning I still felt icky! It was pretty weird.

Getting past the candy was not really hard for me. If I just don't start eating sugar, I don't want it at all. And knowing how it makes me feel just turns me off of it.

On Halloween I went crazy because I knew I was starting Nov. 1! So I ate it all! Oh geez!

I bought candy that only DH and kids like, nothing that tempts me, but I caved and had a few pieces of DD2 candy bite size that she got- and I paid for it a couple hours later, felt totally crummy with a stomache. Learned my lesson, so I have not even been tempted since.
