How are you dealing with the whole HALLOWEEN CANDY situation????

Oh MAN!!! Last year I couldn't even look at the stuff...this year I can't leave it ALONE!!!!!!(as I stuff yet ANOTHER tootsie roll in my mouth)...I have this HUGE cauldron of candy sitting on my desk(the only desk in the office)...I'm begging everyone that comes in my door to take some so I can't eat it all. )Okay I'm done whinning...but really, if anyone has some good tips I'm sure they would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! BIG HUGS Deanna

I keep some candy in my office for visitors, but had to move it off my desk and out of arm's reach - I was eating more than the visitors! At home I bought candy that I don't like - easy to resist that way.

Deanna, I've just given in to the urge. Today, I've had TWO "fun size" Snickers and FOUR Tootsie Roll midgets. I know this is not the wisest choice of snacks, but I find that if I don't indulge every now and again, I go over the edge, eat too many and then dump. Also, I keep reminding myself that Halloween is tomorrow and then it will be gone. The rest of the year is not a big deal for me, so if I can just get through to Saturday, I'll be ok!

I dont do halloween. I dont buy any candy at all that way if it isnt there I am not tempted. Try moving your candy bowl at work to someplace where you cant reach it. Angie

Just for the record I'm glad Halloween is over...OK just the candy part. Deanna, we both know we have been fighting this evil all month! Damn stuff! Kickin it to the curb! I for one will be all the better once hubs finishes the pumpkin that's full right now and then we can move on. Of course I'm excited to get a month off of all the sweets and then all the candy making of the holidays start. At least we can make it ourselves and use all the sugar substitutes. Big hugs!!
