This was a hard holiday!!!

so did any of you guys have a hard time with halloween? man all this stuff that is sitting around is killing me!!! So it makes me a little nervous about the upcoming holidays!!! All the food...All the treats...all the baking...what are your guys thoughts on how to make it through!!!

I have it easier than many because over the years we just eat less so we don't have as many treats around.  Most things are sugar free and prepared with less fat as we've modified recipes over the years.  It should not be too bad but for the carb foods. 

Thanksgiving will not be at my house so no leftovers except for what I bring home.  Christmas will be the hard one since the whole family will be with me for a few days.  Once again its the carbs.  Even with few treats I don't know how I'll do this.  Cauliflower rice and a vegetable blend stuffing will help since those are among my biggest temptations. 

I love casava, a West Indian veggie with a billion carbs.  I have no idea how I'll control my consumption if it does not make me dump.  Thank God my pouch is ready to explode at over 3 oz.  If I has a ds or vsg I'd be in really big trouble with that large stomach.  

Now Halloween was easy for me.  If it was all like Halloween it would be just grand.  I just ignored it.  The hard part now is all that candy on clearence. 

YES!!! This was a hard one!! I LOVE CANDY!!! now on to Thanksgiving...GOOD LUCK!! ;)

I was not effected much at all. I really did not have any cravings for the candy. I also limited my kids on how much candy they got. I called it a night early so there was less around if tempted, but I was not.
