Come on in to the Truth Post!!
Luckily, I did not have to buy candy for the trick or treaters (I stayed away from home while they were out begging). But today everyone brought their left overs to work and I had to walk by the mini candy bars all morning (I love Almond Joy and Kit Kat bars). I did not have any but at lunch I went to the mall and bought a new outfit. I needed a pick me up. Size 10 pants from J. Jill did the trick for me. I don't feel deprived at all now and looking at the candy is not bothering me this afternoon.
We all deal with these things differently. I know it is ok to treat yourself to foods you love once in a while but I made a promise to myself that I would not cheat until I reached my goal and I have 16 more pounds to go. I can do it (I hope).
Take care.

Oh man... it wasn't the day after that I had to worry about, it was the weeks leading up to Halloween that was the bane of my existance! Unfortunatly, I don't dump until I pu**** over 30g of sugar at one time so I can munch on those little candies all dang day and be fine....UGH! So yes, I admit it, I was HORRIBLE!!! See every year I do something BIG for the neighborhood kids, so this year would be no exception, I buy a bag of candy EVERYTIME I go to the store for about 2 months leading up to Oct 31st so I don't end up running out (which I have done several times and finding candy at night is HARD). This year since we had the huge base deployment the trick or treaters were slim! I ended up with over 15 pounds of candy left!!! UGH!!! So we are going through it and picking out our favorites (like bottle caps) and hubby is taking the rest to work. Then hubby is also hiding what we keep for ourselves and dishing me out a piece every once in awhile! LOL! I SUCK AT SELF CONTROL AT NIGHT! I can get up in the middle of the night and mindlessly eat candy if it is within eyesight of me, then I dump and sleep through all of my alarms and I wake up wondering.... WTF?! Within a few minutes I find the empty wrappers and cry b/c I know what I did then! UGH!
EVIL CANDY!
Brightest Blessings for a Wonderful Day~

Well, the Halloween candy was irrisitable for me. I ate probably three of those little packages of m&m's, and the only problem I had was a little stomach ache, but not bad. I have never tested my dumping ability, so I don't know if that means I dum*****t. I am going to make a sugar free pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I have found though I can eat all the fruit I want. As long as it is natural I eat it.
Take care,
