Good luck everyone!

One miniature is 42 calories?!!!

The bag says 5 pieces, 210 calories... I did the math and the whole bag is OVER 3000! Glad I got it out of the house when I did!! :carrot:

Our office is boobytrapped today.

In the pantry, there is a big bag of candy which I choose not to acknowledge as existing.

But when I set down my laptop at my cube, I discovered a regular-sized Hershey bar sitting right in the center of my desk. From my employer. Partly because of the holiday, but also because they made my dept move to another bldg while they renovate our old bldg, and the new quarters are cramped. (To promote collaborative behavior. All it makes me want to do is kill all my colleagues, so I can have more space for myself.) They think bribing me with candy makes it all better.

I am not five.

I am not eating that candy bar.

I am going to put that Hershey bar in the freezer at home for my mother's next visit. Damn thing. It won't call to me from there.

There really is no candy around here! Amen to that :)

There is no candy here...even though there are actually four large ziplock bags full of candy and about 100 mini bags of chips from the kids trick or treating adventures...OMG! But there is no candy here lol
I "slipped" a little last night and ate 4 mini chocolates and a bag of chips but today is a new day and I don't intend to let that happen again. All that candy went in the closet for the kid's to pick 1 item at desert each day. What ever is left over after four weeks is going to be donated somewhere or thrown away. Out of sight, hopefully out of mind :)

I got through the day without acknowledging the candy. I'm sure there will be plenty more as the week wears on but I can live with it.

I am definitely one of those people for whom "eat no candy" is much, much, much easier than "eat one piece of the candy."

They're driving me a little nutty in my house. Candy is everywhere, cake in your face, & now the family is making cookies!

I think you're right. There is no candy.

Oh...there REALLY is NO candy! LOVE IT and I'm with ya all!

I am avoiding the grocery store like the plague for at least a week - the discounted leftover Halloween candy is so hard to pass up!

I feel like such a scrooge. I decided not to hand out candy to kids for the first time this year simply because I didn't want the buckets of candy at home because I knew I would eat it. :( I know I could have done something like sugar free candy or little toys, but I couldn't find any good substitutes locally.

I also hid in the house and didn't answer the door last night. No candy had to enter the house (though one disgruntled "treater" trashed the pumpkin on my porch).

And I also successfully did not see the candy at work today. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little easier...

I had a few pieces last night. I picked only my favorite kinds and I really enjoyed them - but today I am mad at myself. :tantrum: My biggest mistake is that once I get started, I don't stop - so today, I didn't start on them. Today I am successfully back on program.

I brought in the leftover candy to work and people were not happy to see it - but it is away from me and out of sight, so I am good.

You're right, there is no candy, no peanut butter eyeballs, and no Halloween themed red velvet cupcakes in the staff room. They simply are a figment of my imagination....Mmmmmm...delicious figment - but one that will not be eaten!

My husband, bless his heart, bought eight pounds of candy for Halloween. Not cheapo candy either, but the good stuff. He hid the bags (from both of us) and didn't take it out of the packaging until right before we were likely to get trick-or-treaters. Then it all went into a huge vat of deliciousness, waiting for kids to arrive. That massive bowl might as well have been a black hole, considering the intense gravitational pull it had on me. "It's for the kids," I told myself. And boy, was it!

I was giving that stuff out with both hands. "Here, have some more! Take a Snickers, too! You like Twix? Have two, they're small!" until my husband finally took over. "Geez, why are you giving it all away so fast?" Well DUH, honey, because if I don't, it'll still be in the house calling me!

As of today, thanks to my shoveling the stuff at kids, friends, and neighbors, there is no candy in my house--and I didn't eat any of that nonexistent candy. :)

There really isn't any candy at our office. There are some mini Snickers at home, but DH will take those in his lunch.

You might check with your local dentists office, some are taking Halloween candy and sending it to the troops, a great way to get rid of it!
